This is a story about clothing 这是一个与服装有关的故事
it's about the clothes we wear 例如我们穿的衣服
people who make these clothes 制作服装的人
and the impact that its having in the world 以及服装对世界的影响
It's a story about greed and fear 这个故事还涉及贪婪与恐惧
power and profit 权力和利益
It's complex 它很复杂
as it extends all the way around the world 涉及到世界各地
But it's also simple 同时也很简单
revealing just how connected we are
to many hearts and hands behind our clothes
I came in with this story with no background of fashion at all
Beginning with nothing more than a few simple questions
What I discovered
has forever changed the way I think about the things I wear
And my hope
is that it might just do the same
for you
Maybe just start in saying your name
and talk about how this kind'a beginner
My name is Lucy Siegle, I am a journalist
and a broadcaster based in UK
And I have been obssessed
consumed with environmental and social impacts
of the fashion industry
for about a decade
Well, I love everything about clothes
You know, I love, I love the poetry
I love the fabric I love the colours
I love the textures I love the way they make you feel
You know, they are our chosen skin
well, I had the classic
massive closet
clothes everywhere
bags constantly coming in to my house
you know, everyday, every other day with some other items in
I never had anything to wear
I can never put together a coherent outfit
We communicate who we are towards ??? next time through clothing
and this is, this is again throughout history
you know, you have the translucent code you know
like Marie Antoinette making this huge hot...
It's always been, it's been our personal communication in many ways
that's what interests me
that it is fundamentally a part of what
we wish to communicate about us
We used to have a system, a fashion system
