Abstract
Coming from a “don’t waste” style, boro is certainly a style, not just of fashion and style, but a lifestyle. There are the subtle colors and ragged textures, the abstract art effect of the patches and the enduring warmth that turned in a unique handmade textile.
Imminent from Japan the boro technique can be used to creating new items or even to repair clothing parts.
We talk the trajectory of this technique that were born in a necessity and nowadays follow a contemporary way. In this paper we also named the boro style and the use of Sashiko technique through the eyes of new artists. Specialists in this craft, consider the inspiration for many people who want to learn and do clothes themselves.
