Carole Frances Lung
Carole Frances Lung is 56-year-old women born in 1966 in the San Francisco area who is a professor of Fashion Fibers and materials at the California State University. She is the original biographer and archivist for Frau Fiber as well as Institute for Labor Generosity Workers and Uniforms (ILGWU). She designed this to make a change in the fast fashion industry. She believes that every piece of fabric and material should be more than in and out fashion because not only does it affect the environment but there’s so much clothes made out of harmful materials.

Works
ILGWU is located south of the 110 and it is where Carole as many would say "feeds her alter ego" and dives into the work of the great Frau Fiber. This is a place Carole demonstrates the globalization of the demand and the supply chain of the fast fashion industry. She has approximately 15 years in the garment industry and has been using her art in order to advocate for the issues in the supply chain that consist of mass production, consumption and so much more. Through Fiber, Lung learned a vocabulary of fashion and textile production and consumption, crafting of one-of a kind garments, installations, performances, and social sculptures that pay homage to labor, textile and apparel manufacturing histories and contemporary production systems.

Lung owns a warehouse in San Pedro, California that she has named The Loft where she also runs Frau Fiber’s Institute for Labor Genorosity Workers and Uniforms. She utilizes this space for both her headquarters and as place to hold workshops like the Sewing Rebellion and Kaffee und Kuchen, where she has invited people for coffee and cake to have a conversation through Zoom or hold walk-ups. During the pandemic, she made a mask a day to show solidarity of COVID-19. With this idea over three hundred masks were made over this period of time and were donated to homeless shelters. Production of these masks went all the way until March 2021.
