Welcome to Issue 1 of Volume 3: Materials! This issue, we want to explore how people in our community wear different kinds of materials. Japanese street fashion encourages alternative clothing, so why not alternative materials, too? In Part One, titled Botanical, we’re taking it back to the basics and elements that make up planet Earth. Part Two, Material Girl, is all about excess. Finally, in Part Three, Human-Made, the world has ended but fashion lives on! You may be envisioning Mad Max, but we’ve got a more colourful apocalypse in mind!
