Most fashions only last six months so what you buy now won’t necessarily be a “must have” in a few months. With millions of pounds worth of clothing bought each year soon discarded, the aim of this piece is to make people think more carefully before they buy. Many people blame discounts and sales for purchases that never get used. Could this simple statement make people think more carefully about their fashion impulses and reduce waste?
Now Consume is an exhibition of work by visual communication students from The School of Creative Arts & Design at the University of Wolverhampton and has been developed in response to issues around consumerism and material culture. Themes for discussion and visual enquiry include consumer debt, independent retailing, recycling, brand deconstruction, and over packaging.
