With her work, Nadien wants to showcase the nuances of handmade, crafted for the individual, weaving together the history and memories of garments and fabrics. She connects people, and clothes in creative sewing workshops, and re-works garments from already existing materials to break the hegemony of sameness, challenging the system of fast fashion and helping people to work towards a more sustainable wardrobe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rouge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55894903521665,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0279\/1649\/files\/Visible_mending_1.webp?v=1775233002","url":"https:\/\/www.rouge-shop.com\/products\/the-art-of-darning-14th-nov-2026-11-1-pm","provider":"Rouge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
