‘I have been writing about nature and clothing for more than a decade now, drawing on my own experiences, not because I am interesting (I am not), but because these experiences are often common experiences that resonate in others’ lives – and therefore become a way to enable action. Raw writing, full of vulnerability, possibility, experiments, hopefulness always cuts through. They say, don’t they, that in order to hear the signal, you have to cut out the noise. That’s what I try to do in this book.’
