Andrea Zittel began creating Six Month Uniforms in 1991 as a response to the social dictate to wear an entirely different change of clothes every day. By wearing a single uniform for six months, she no only eliminated the stress of choosing a daily outfit , but also generated an alternative to the mandate of perpetual variety mandated consumer culture. More than seventy variations of the A-Z Personal Uniform now exist. •••••• I’d be ok with wearing this one for 6 months. { Greenpeace finds toxic chemicals in branded clothing } By Sebastien Blanc (AFP) – 1 day ago Traces of toxic chemicals harmful to the environment and to human health have been detected in products made by 14 top clothing manufacturers, Greenpeace said Tuesday. Samples of clothing from top brands including Adidas, Uniqlo, Calvin Klein, H&M, Abercrombie & Fitch, Lacoste, Converse and Ralph Lauren were found to be tainted with the chemicals, known as nonylphenol ethoxylates, the watchdog said at the launch of its report “Dirty Laundry 2”. Greenpeace campaigner Li Yifang said that nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs), commonly used as detergents in industries including the production of natural and synthetic textiles, were detected in two-thirds of the samples the group tested. “NPEs break down to form nonylphenol, which has toxic, persistent and hormone-disrupting properties,” Li told journalists in Beijing. “It mimics female hormones, alters sexual development and affects reproductive systems.” { GreenPeace: Dirty Laundry 2 } Publication - August 23, 2011 Research commissioned by Greenpeace International has revealed that clothing and certain fabric-based shoes sold internationally by major clothing brands are manufactured using nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs). NPEs — which are used as surfactants in textile production — subsequently break down to form toxic nonylphenol (NP). Nonylphenol is a persistent chemical with hormone-disrupting properties that builds up in the food chain, and is hazardous even at very low levels. { Download the report } (32 pages) Another ( fashion // costume // apparel-related ) limb of the Operating System.

U odjeći marki Lacoste, H&M, Calvin Klein... pronađene otrovne tvari Međunarodna organizacija Greenpeace objavila je rezultate vrlo neugodne za mnoge poznate svjetske brandove Greenpeace je proveo analizu uzoraka odjevnih predmeta i utvrđeno je da sadrže ostatke štetnih kemikalija poput nonilfenol etoksilata. U Greenpeaceovoj studiji "Prljavi veš 2" se navodi da su štetne kemikalije pronađene i kod marki kao što su Adidas, Uniglo, Calvin Klein, H&M, Abercrombie & Fitch, Lacoste, Converse i Ralph Lauren. "Nonilfenol etoksilat pri raspadu stvara nonilfenol, koji ima otrovne trajne posljedice na ometanje izlučivanja hormona. Ove tvari i u jako malim količinama štete ljudskom zdravlju i okolišu", rekla je Li Jifang iz ove organizacije za britanski Telegraph. Proizvodi koji su testirani uglavnom su proizvedeni u Kini, Vijetnamu, na Filipinima i u Maleziji.
