Art, photography and fashion…. I’ve had a love of these topics for as long as I can remember, but the planned obsolescence of the clothing industry nowadays, like many others, is really starting to worry me. I remember when there used to be one or two fashion weeks a year, one for winter one for summer. Nowadays it feels like there is one every month? I don’t understand how designers keep up?

The decrease in quality and speed of replacement, fuelled by a never ending need of money will eventually have the fashion industry as a whole, posing in a desolate world. Fast fashion is responsible for nearly 10 percent of global gas emissions. gas emissions from textile production companies is more than international flights and maritime shipping combined annually.

We need to make a move back to #SlowFashion, which advocates for manufacturing in respect to people, environment and animals, where we use #localartisans and the use of materials, with the goal of preserving crafts and the environment and, ultimately, provide value to both consumers and producers.

The shoot itself took place in a hospital that has been abandoned since 1997. The hospital itself is the epitome of derelict wastage. Everything has just been left exactly like it was… chairs left strewn all over the place, grass claiming back nooks and cracks in the building and no water or electricity.

I was joined by two very brave ladies…

@anneline_e_brown as my assistant and Aleksandra Magdalena Klosowski (@thugs.bunny_) as my model. Make up was done by @klosowski_makeup

All the styling, conceptualisation and dress design was done by me, Tarryn Goldman (@tarryngoldmanphotography)
