A public lecture by Gary Markle for Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD):
"What do slow food and slow fashion have in common? We can grow them right here! It looks like the future of fashion might belong to regions like Nova Scotia with strong links to land and people. Join NSCAD's Gary Markle for a lecture making the case for a "time warp" approach to a renewable industry that's in our hands and under our feet."
