Professor in clothing and sustainability, Ingun Grimstad Klepp has been working with apparel research at Consumption Research Norway, Oslo Metropolitan University since 1999. Her contribution has been key for developing the research field through advancing methods, projects, knowledge and discourse about clothes and their role in society and our lives, including wearing habits, laundry, lifespan, product development and value chains. Wool and local clothes are in the core of her interest and the theme for the latest book Local, Slow and Sustainable Fashion: Wool as a Fabric for Change (Palgrave Macmillan, 2022).
