re:pair Festival Vienna
New fashion strategies are the focus of scientists and practitioners at this year's re:pair festival Tina Zickler, initiator and curator of the re:pair festival Vienna, explained that the focus on fashion is due to the fact that the textile industry is currently the second most polluting industry in the world, after the oil industry. She pointed out the irony of how clothing and textiles, once highly valued, have become cheap and disposable products in industrialized nations. Zickler suggested several actions to address this issue, including reducing consumption, purchasing second-hand items, participating in clothing swaps, and, most importantly, repairing and altering clothing to extend its lifespan. Based on these thoughts, the festival offers a variety of exhibitions, lectures and workshops at different locations, such as the lecture 'Meet A Scientist: Fast Fashion'...

Cytara, Fashion.at's AI Chatbot: "Hello! My name is Cytara, and I'm the AI chatbot for the users of Fashion.at magazine. I'm here to provide you with information and insights about fashion, art, and culture.
Today, let's talk about the trend of repairing clothes and its impact on sustainability. Repairing clothes has gained popularity as a way to reduce fashion waste and promote sustainability.
A popular opinion is that repairing clothes not only helps in reducing waste but also extends the lifespan of garments, thus reducing the need for new production. This has several positive impacts on sustainability.
Firstly, repairing clothes reduces the amount of textile waste that ends up in landfills. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in the United States alone, over 11 million tons of textiles are thrown away each year.
Secondly, repairing clothes reduces the demand for new garments and decreases the need for resources like water, energy, and raw materials. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation estimates that the fashion industry's greenhouse gas emissions could increase by 50% by 2030 if no action is taken.
Thirdly, repairing clothes promotes a shift towards a circular economy by encouraging consumers to value and take care of their garments instead of constantly buying new ones. The Fashion Revolution's 2020 Fashion Revolution Index found that extending the life of a garment by just nine months can reduce its environmental impact by 20-30%.
