Let's have a much needed chat about fabric, the natural world and the garment industry, with Elly aka Take It Up Wear It Out ! Elly is a textile artist whose creations are inspired by the natural world. Often the river Wandle runs through her work, which makes sense, as it’s a jewel in South London’s crown. We touch on some difficult truths related to poverty at home and abroad, 2013’s catast...
