This book examines how sustainability has the potential to
transform both the fashion system and the innovators who work
within it. Sustainability is arguably the defining theme of the
twenty-first century. The issues in fashion are broad-ranging and
include labour abuses, toxic chemicals use and conspicuous
consumption, giving rise to an undeniable tension between fashion
and sustainability. The book is organized in three parts. The first
part is concerned with transforming fashion products across the
garment's lifecycle and includes innovation in materials,
manufacture, distribution, use and re-use. The second part looks at
ideas that are transforming the fashion system at root into
something more sustainable, including new business models that
reduce material throughput. The third section is concerned with
transforming the role of fashion designers and looks to examples
where the designer changes from a stylist or creator into a
communicator, activist or facilitator.
