English This thesis is not a collection of alarming figures on the state of the world.1
Nor is it a factual illustration of reality.
No. This thesis is an attempt.
An attempt to move upstream.
With his famous phrase “Be water, my friend”, Bruce Lee teaches us the fluidity of the body and the soul. I would like to be that water. But I would like to be a drop of water, and precisely the one that will always try with all its strength to swim upstream, to counter the force of inertia with which it is pushed forward alongside its sisters2, to counter causality.
This thesis is a bottle in the sea. Or rather several bottles. Bottles with messages of hope, support, love. And I would like so much to carry them to the source. I feel very concerned about the production sphere within the fashion system. About the working class that makes this industry possible and its, for the most part, deplorable working conditions. So, I would like so much to respond to garment workers’ cries. To tell them that I have heard them, that I am with them and that I am trying my best here to help them there. Fighting for their rights. Changing the narrative since day one.
I would love them to know that they have an ally at the end of the chain. That we are bound and that I will always cherish this bond no matter what.
This thesis is for them.
