field of jeans and a few kilts!
as part of Edinburgh's Science Festival this year i caught up with the 'Field of Jeans' and a lecture on 'Catalytic clothing',a collaboration between Helen Storey and Professor Tony Ryan. Basically and very briefly they are working towards producing a washing solution that would leave clothes washed in it with a catalytic layer that would help purify the air. 
you wouldn't need to be as static as their installation, simply walk around and help the environment.
i am interested in all the 'dry clean only' clothing that are produced; Helen Storey was wearing a very beautiful Vivienne Westwood which i wouldn't have thought would have a 30 degree wash symbol on it! 
however it is an interesting idea although i am not 100 percent convinced by it as it would rely on the consumer to take an active role but interesting to see where it leads them. They are giving a talk at the Stroud Textile Festival in May.

Very interesting to hear about Helen Storey. I saw an exhibition 9 or 10 years ago of dresses she had designed with her sister, based on the development of the foetus in the womb - beautiful and fascinating! She seems to take textiles in new and interesting directions.
