It never ceases to amaze me what a small world we live in! Motherwell, of all places! Let me know if I can help on any womens cooperative questions. I have worked for years with COOPA-ROCA in Rio, amongst others. Sass
HI David,
Now I know all Scotsman are insane ;-) I actually had originally intended to spend a few days in Edinburgh, but I have a friend in Glasgow at a University there, so thats where I ended up. I will ensure to visit Edinburgh next trip though, rest assured, especially now that I know it is twinned with the fair city in which I live! So now I know who modeled for Michelangelo, you must be very old! So are you using the McFarlane tartan, thats my family tartan! (my mothers side of the family are all from Motherwell)
HI David,
Small world, although it was my international experience of working with women's cooperatives in South America, as well as the fact that I am a European working for an American University, that likely led to my current position as Director of FIT's study abroad program in Florence, Italy, rather than the other way around. Unfortunately the demands of the position has severely limited my ability to travel to my cooperatives now ;-( So I can only hope that my path develops more like yours!
I love your quote above about using fashion to effect social change, I am in total agreement with that! I just got back from Glasgow, where I rediscovered my family tartan! I'll check out your site later!
Hi David ... I will love to use them. There is one thing though. I have to get all the fabrics approved from my teachers. So I will talk to them and let you know. I personally love tartans and will see if I can include them in my collection. Thanks
Hi David, you can email me at cwolf@ucreative.ac.uk
Thanks so much, I've only just joined and it seems fantastic to be able to connect and share knowledge!
Best regards
Cale
that's great. Perhaps you would be interested in coming in and delivering a lecture either in person or via webcam? If so, could you let me know and I will pass your details to the Director of Studies, alternatively, just let me know what in your opinion are the key factors to include in my own lecture plans for the coming academic year. Regards Cale
The fabric we use are made from cotton that grows already coloured and hence the colours are earthy, creams, browns and light green. The material has a very soft feel and touch also has the advenatage of been kind to the skin as no artificial dyes are involved in the process.
Hi David,
am working on master's thesis - haven't gotten very far yet, but the working title is "CSR in the global fashion industry - marketing tool or actual effort?". So far I have gathered information on the fashion industry (volumes, trends, production & logistics), plus a couple of case studies of fashion companies that have (or claim to have) incorporated CSR into their business model.
Any input, suggestions as to case studies etc would be highly appreciated.
Hi David
