"""We have been led to believe fashion is a means to squander resources for vanity. But as Odabaşı shows, fashion is not a cemetery for discarded time, but a reservoir of revitalized imagination. Opening the wardrobe to deep study, Odabaşı proposes a series of sagacious systems to rethink upcycling and ask: What kind of history do we want fashion to write?” Dr. Otto von Busch, Professor, Parsons School of Design at The New School, USA"
