Kate Fletcher, Volume II, 2026. In English.
What if clothes, more than just something to wear, can act as entry points to relationships with the dynamic living world?
In short vignettes tied to the changing seasons, fashion and sustainability pioneer Kate Fletcher, challenges the illusion that humans and garments are somehow separate to the rest of nature. Drawing out relations and responsibilities between fashion and natural systems, Fletcher invites a change in perception that can profoundly influence ways of how we think and act – including with clothes. Writings and predictions for each month entangle nature encounters with dressed bodies, upending fashion’s usual tendency to disregard, devalue and extract the very natural systems it depends on.
The loudest voice in fashion is capitalism. Fletcher’s Almanac Volume II practices deeper ways to listen to other voices, languages and practices, those of Earth.
Volume II is illustrated by expert printmaker Stephen Fowler.
