Long-lasting style secrets are revealed out of the bedroom.

Residents are being questioned by a Waikato research team about why they love and hold onto attire for such an extended period of time.

Sarah Harman, a researcher and graduate supervisor at Wintec Te Pkenga, has spent more than six years looking into ways to lessen the negative effects of rapid fashion on the environment.

The three wanted to know what clothes people cherished and kept for an extended period of time, along with studies partner Emily Russell and photographer/videographer from Hamilton’s One Guy Crew Holly Russell.

There is a difference in the body of knowledge that ignores the motivations behind our clinging to clothing.

We really want to develop on the beautiful stories that people have attached to specific clothing items that they loved, according to Harman, who said in a small study he conducted some time ago.

The trio would gain more knowledge about the most cherished and worn clothing items, their longevity, and the places and methods they have been worn thanks to the new Worn also: green clothing survey.

It’s all about looking for ways to lessen the economic impact of style and design so that we can live longer.

According to Harman, this information was aid designers in producing clothing that is specifically made for longevity.

Harman was raised in Canterbury and attended Massey University in Wellington to study jute design. She witnessed some of the enormous quantities of spare chemicals and materials produced by the textile industry it.

Her passion for her study, which focuses on better comprehending ways to extend the life of clothes and lessen their economic impact, was sparked by her experience.

In conjunction with Fashion Revolution Week, Harman also worked on a scaled-down version of this job.

Emily Russell is a graphic designer and artist who was born and raised in Hamilton. She was developing the project’s green brand and publication.

She detested shopping, but as she explored more of the world, she discovered charm in the worker techniques used to create fabric.

The project’s photographer and videographer is Holly Russell, the girl of Emily. Holly, who shared her mother’s passion for garments and arts, began making her own clothing at a young age.

She began to become more financially aware and learn more about weather change about five years ago, which piqued her interest in defying rapid fashion.

By entering their information on the survey’s last website, participants can request to be photographed wearing their everyday attire.

Anyone in the Waikato can take the questionnaire, and locals have until April 2024 to finish it.
