The Drip: Voices On Water, Labor and Sustainability in the Fashion Industry

How are our wardrobes connected to the global water crisis?

drip by drip warmly invites you to the launch of our first publication,The Drip: Voices on Water, Labor, and Sustainability in the Fashion Industry.

Over the past year, we have worked closely with a range of authors to create this publication, and we’re excited to finally share the result with you. Featuring eight distinct voices from across the textile supply chain — including worker, community, technical, and manufacturing perspectives — and with a particular focus on South Asia, The Drip dives deep into pressing challenges and emerging solutions.

Join us for an afternoon of discussions, art, and thought-provoking insights on water and justice in the global fashion industry — and grab your copy of The Drip.

Our event brings the publication to life through a panel discussion with contributing authors, a short film screening, and an immersive VR experience by artist Armin Keplinger.
