Inspired by Glaswegian families living in the tenement blocks in the 1970’s, Katie Askham’s most recent collection champions the recycling of fabrics in service of a more sustainable practise. In collaboration with Katie, Jamie Kitchen highlights the disparity between the fashion industry’s ideally eco conscious mindset and the shameful reality: By combining the contextual implications of both the flawless studio (a representation of an ideal fashion industry - a blank slate for creative exploration of identity) and a more historically significant location (Manchester’s disused cotton mills) the images challenge unsustainable actions in the fashion industry and its unaffected public image.
