    I am not a fan of numbers and statistics, however a disastrous observation jumps out at us. In these times when the trumpets of Black Friday over-consumption sound, we can only be moved or scandalized to read (Business of Fashion study) that each year, 700,000 tonnes of clothing and accessories are purchased around the world. Of these 700,000 tonnes, only 160,000 are recycled. This is how 442 million euros worth of clothes are shamelessly thrown into the trash.

    Another study (The travel of a T-shirt in the global economy – by Pietra Rivoli) demonstrates that the carbon footprint of a t-shirt can reach 10 kg by adding up all the energy impacts of each stage of its production (extraction raw materials, fiber cultivation, harvesting, packaging, shipping… especially if the raw materials are synthetic, which means extraction of hydrocarbons and chemical transformation to create a yarn etc, etc…). 3,000 liters of water will have been consumed during successive crops and bat

      European fashion

      This book represents the first attempt to write a comprehensive konto of performance art in Eastern europe - the former communist, socialist and Soviet countries of huvud, Eastern and Southeastern europe - since the 1960s.

In exploring the manifestations and meanings of performance art, the book highlights the diversity of artistic practice, moments and ways in which performance emerged, and its relationship to each country's sociopolitical climate.
