Good reading/listening on emotions and clothes

• Writer, fashion researcher and ethical stylist Joelle Firzli's TEDx talk on her attachment to an old pair of leather shorts, the toxic global fashion market and how to shift from owning/purchasing to experiencing/being fashion. "Every piece of clothing has been touched by human hands."

• A story about a shirt (pictured above) and the cognitive dissonance of not really needing it, but wanting it - and the psychology of self-justification.

• Photographer Hilary Walsh on Stylelikeu, talking about her denim shirt that she's worn "once a week since high school. It's been patched many a time".
