Poet, mountaineer and kayaker Helen Mort collaborates with Kate Fletcher, fell runner and professor of sustainable fashion, in a free-wheeling collection of essays and poems. Both Northerners, their collaboration focuses on the natural landscapes of  the North of England, exploring the linking threads between wild ecology and how we choose to both defend and expose oursleves to the elements when we venture out “into nature”.

Their dialogue ranges from gloves to gritstone, and explores gender, the lives of garments, the imperative of change, the cost of adventure and possibilities for fashion as part of, not separate from, the living world.

Kate Fletcher is a Professor at the Centre for Sustainable Fashion, University of the Arts London and the Royal Danish Academy, Copenhagen. Her work has come to both define and challenge the field of fashion and sustainability. This is her tenth book and her first with Helen. Kate’s latest work is about design and nature.

Helen Mort is a poet and novelist. Her collections Division Street and No Map Could Show Them are published by Chatto and her third, The Illustrated Woman, was shortlisted for the Foward Prize. She’s a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and teaches at Manchester Metropolitan University. A Line Above The Sky, her biography of countryside pioneer Ethel Haythornthwaite was published by Ebury in 2022.

The eBook is in standard PDF format.
