Kate Fletcher, Volume I, 2024. In English.
In short vignettes tied to the rhythms of the seasons this Almanac explores interrelationships between clothing and the natural world. Writings and predictions for each month feature nature, not as the scenery against which fashion stories unfold, but the main event, and the connection of fashion and nature, the story.
The fashion writer Elizabeth Wilson once said that fashion speaks capitalism. Yet in this almanac, fashion speaks another tongue, the language of the earth.
