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.

Praise for the previous edition: "[A] fascinating book." John
Thackara, Doors of Perception "Provides the foundations for a
radical new perspective." Ethical Pulse "At last a book that
dispels the idea that fashion is only interested in trend-driven
fluff: not only does it have a brain, but it could be a sustainable
one." Lucy Siegle, Crafts Magazine Fully revised and updated, the
second edition of Sustainable Fashion and Textiles: Design Journeys
continues to define the field of design in fashion and textiles.
Arranged in two sections, the first four chapters represent key
stages of the lifecycle: material cultivation/extraction,
production, use and disposal. The remaining four chapters explore
design approaches for altering the scale and nature of consumption,
including service design, localism, speed and user involvement.
While each chapter is complete in and of itself, their real value
comes from what they represent together: innovative ways of
thinking about textiles and garments based on sustainability values
and an interconnected approach to design. Including a new preface,
updated content and a new conclusion reflecting and critiquing
developments in the field, as well as discussing future
developments, the second edition promises to provide further
impetus for future change, sealing Sustainable Fashion and
Textiles: Design Journeys as the must-buy book for fashion and
textiles professionals and students interested in sustainability.

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.
The clothing industry employs 25 million people globally
contributing to many livelihoods and the prosperity of communities,
to women s independence, and the establishment of significant
infrastructures in poorer countries. Yet the fashion industry is
also a significant contributor to the degradation of natural
systems, with the associated environmental footprint of clothing
high in comparison with other products.
"Routledge Handbook of Sustainability and Fashion" recognizes the
complexity of aligning fashion with sustainability. It explores
fashion and sustainability at the levels of products, processes,
and paradigms and takes a truly multi-disciplinary approach to
critically question and suggest creative responses to issues
of:
Fashion in a post-growth society
Fashion, diversity and equity
Fashion, fluidity and balance across natural, social and economic
systems
This handbook is a unique resource for a wide range of scholars
and students in the social sciences, arts and humanities interested
in sustainability and fashion."
Organised as a dialogue between nature and design, this book
explores design ideas, opportunities, visions and practices through
relating and uncovering experience of the natural world. Presented
as an edited collection of 25 wide-ranging short chapters, the book
explores the possibility of new relations between design and
nature, beyond human mastery and understandings of nature as
resource and by calling into question the longstanding role for
design as agent of capitalism. The book puts forward ways in which
design can form partnerships with living species and examines
designers' capacities for direct experience, awe, integrated
relationships and new ways of knowing. It covers: * New design
ethics of care * Indigenous perspectives * Prototyping with nature
* Methods for new design and nature relations * A history of design
and nature * Animist beliefs * De-centering human-centered design *
Understanding nature has power and agency Design and Nature: A
Partnership is a rich resource for designers who wish to learn to
engage with sustainability from the ground up.
