THE FABRIC HEROES

Picture a spaceless, timeless textile: there, you could meet Karl Lagerfeld, Michael Jordan, Colbert, Otzi, an influencer, Adam Smith, an Indian textile worker, the King Arthur... Archaeologist Pétronille and fashion historian Audrey
guide you through the timeline, from the palaeolithic days to the fast fashion times. The industrialisation of the world was a lengthy process, not shaped by the innovations of a few geniuses, but rather by inequalities, access to natural resources, and social and political struggles. The Fabric Heroes shines a deserved light on the nameless whose contributions gave life to the textile industry and its many developments, with a playful tone.
