This book explores the 'craft of use', the cultivated, ordinary and
ingenious ideas and practices that promote satisfying and
resourceful use of garments, presenting them as an alternative,
dynamic, experiential frame with which to articulate and foster
sustainability in the fashion sector. Here Kate Fletcher provides a
broad imagining of sustainability in fashion that gives attention
to tending and wearing garments, and favours their use as much as
their creation. She offers a diversified view of fashion beyond the
market and the market's purpose and reveals fashion provision and
expression in a world not dependent on continuous consumption.
Framing design and use as a single whole, the book uncovers a more
contingent and time-dependent role for design in sustainability,
recognising that garments, while sold as a product, are lived as a
process. Drawing from stories and portrait photography that
document the ways in which members of the public from across three
continents use their clothes, and the work of seven international
design teams seeking to amplify these use practices, Craft of Use
presents a changed social narrative for fashion, borne out of ideas
of satisfaction and interdependence, of action, knowledge and human
agency, that glimpses fashion post-growth.
