In a world of over-production and over-consumption repairing is already a political act that, at its own scale, stands against this system. In the upcycling process, creations are redesigned from existing materials without generating any further waste. Used textiles are upgraded or repurposed, leftovers from industrial overproduction and discarded fabrics and cuts from the previous season are used for new designs. During the Platte Love, Care and Repair Up Cycling Workshop, you can bring clothes you want to repair and the Platte team will help you to fix them with different creative techniques. PLATTE co-founders Gaëlle Martin and Katharine de Siqueira have both been working in the fields of international fashion design for over 15 years. Since March 2021 they coordinate and supervise the creative content as well as the sustainable development themes.
