About us
GROUNDED: Fashion's Entanglements with Nature
Fashion in Film Festival presents GROUNDED, a major UK-wide season exploring the relationship between fashion and nature through the lens of cinema. Spanning the late 19th century to present day, the programme examines fashion's role as simultaneously a barrier and a connecting tissue between humans and the natural world. GROUNDED presents diverse narratives addressing ecological and geopolitical concerns while exploring imaginative spaces of poetry, comedy, beauty, joy, horror, and transgression. fashioninfilm.com
Dust to Dust
Friday 24th October, 6pm
Dir. Kôsai Sekine, Japan, 2024, 89min, Japanese and English. With descriptive subtitles.
How can haute couture help to solve the ecological harm caused by ready-to-wear's ferocious pace? Dust to Dust follows Tokyo-based designer Yuima Nakazato meandering through Nairobi's Gikomba Market, the world's largest hub for discarded clothes: 'Knowing that anything I say is going to be completely useless… is kind of a new experience for me. Now I know what it feels like to be truly lost for words,' he says. The documentary trails the development of a new non-woven material made using two 50-kilogram bundles of clothing procured from Kenya. Nakazato's ethereal garments presented a year later in Paris offer a reimagining of the fashion world at its creative and conscious best.
