Fletcher's Almanac Vol II, Kate Fletcher

What if clothes could become a way of reconnecting with the living world around us? In Fletcher’s Almanac Volume II, fashion and sustainability pioneer Kate Fletcher explores the relationships between clothing, nature and the systems that sustain both. Organised around the changing seasons, the book brings together short reflections and observations that invite readers to look differently at the clothes they wear and the natural world from which they emerge.

Through monthly writings and predictions, Fletcher considers the connections between dressed bodies and natural systems, questioning fashion’s tendency to separate clothing from the environments and resources on which it depends. Rather than treating sustainability as a set of solutions, the book encourages a deeper attentiveness to other voices, languages and practices, and to the responsibilities that come with being part of a living world. Beautifully illustrated by printer Stephen Fowler, this thoughtful almanac offers a poetic and accessible way to reconsider our relationship with clothing, nature and the future of fashion.
