Did you ever suffer from one of those my-wardrobe-is-bursting-but-I-have-NOTHING-to-wear moments?
In Life is short. Buy that dress. Directie & Co bring a colourful spectacle to Leicester to make us reflect on the insatiable hunger of buying cheap clothes, stimulated by the fashion industry, that are already off-trend and worn-out after wearing them a few times.
Life is short. Buy that dress. is about fast fashion clothing, about me me me and overconsumption with a gigantic mountain of clothes in the leading role. It’s a story of beauty in a world that is drowning in clothes that get thrown away.
