Woman who makes her own clothes, China 1993

Here is a Chinese ethnic minority woman who makes her own clothes using material she has dyed herself. She doesn't go to the shopping centre to do her shopping. In fact she's probably never seen one. People in the developed world used to make their own clothes too but now clothes are so cheap that nobody bothers anymore and nobody has the time. We're all too busy working to earn money to buy things. We now have so many clothes that we never wear. This woman probably only has one or two outfits at most. Her lifestyle is efficient, relaxed and she doesn't have a boss telling her what to do all the time.
