Tissu Local (2018)

Movie 52 min

Over the past thirty years, the French textile industry has outsourced almost all of its production. Thousands of jobs have been lost, particularly in the Hauts-de-France region. Those laid off have never found new employment in the garment sector. Today, for some fashion designers, "Made in France" is a matter of quality and reputation, and we are witnessing the beginnings of "relocation" for certain product lines. Capitalizing on this trend, a sewing workshop opened in Ham, Picardy, in May 2017. The plan is to employ 30 people by 2020. Supported by local authorities, this initiative is spearheaded by Jean-Luc François, a couturier committed to training in fashion-related professions. For a year, from the initial application review to the delivery of the first orders, Maurice Ferlet shares with us the hopes and doubts of the first twelve people to join this workshop.
