Kıyafetleri Yiyecek Gibi Seçseydik? | Hiro Yoshikawa | TEDxHong Kong

Giydiğimiz kıyafetlerin çoğu ham petrolden başlar ve üzerine uygulanan kimyasallar her zaman açıkça belirtilmez. TEDxHong Kong konuşmasında, kot kumaş işlemede 36 yıllık deneyimi olan Hiroyuki Yoshikawa, kıyafetlerin nasıl üretildiğini sorguluyor ve kıyafetleri yiyecekler kadar özenle seçmenin ne anlama gelebileceğini tartışıyor. Konuşmacı, ailesinin sake geçmişini ve Japonya'nın Okayama bölgesinde WASHI kumaşlarla yaptığı Master Jeans Wash tasarımlarını anlatıyor.

• Kıyafet üretiminde kullanılan kimyasallar
• Sake ailesinden kot kumaş işlemeciliğine uzanan yol
• Okayama'da WASHI kumaşlarla yapılan kot çalışmaları

Much of what you’re wearing started as crude oil, and nobody is required to tell you what else was added. A fashion insider with 36 years in denim finishing says some of those chemicals are too risky for Europe to allow near your sandwich, yet they can still be worn against your largest organ. As the second son of an 18th-generation sake family in Japan, Hiroyuki Yoshikawa grew up surrounded by craftsmanship and a deep understanding of ingredients. With no pressure to inherit the family business, he stepped away in 1989 to pursue fashion. Years of traveling between Europe and Asia led him to denim, and eventually back to Japan’s Okayama prefecture, the fabric’s birthplace, where he became known as a Master Jeans Wash designer using WASHI fabrics. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
