Description
Praise for the previous edition:
“[A] fascinating book.” John Thackara, Doors of Perception
“Provides the foundations for a radical new viewpoint.” Ethical Pulse
“At last a book that dispels the concept that fashion is only interested in trend-driven fluff: not only does it have a brain, but it is usually a sustainable one.” Lucy Siegle, Crafts Magazine
Fully revised and up to date, the second one edition of Sustainable Fashion and Textiles: Design Journeys continues todefine 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. At the same time as every chapter is complete in and of itself, their real value comes from what they represent together: innovative ways of thinking about textiles and garments in response to sustainability values and an interconnected approach to design.
Including a new preface, up to date content and a new conclusion reflecting and critiquing developments in the field, in addition to discussing future developments, the second one edition promises to provide further impetus for future change, sealing Sustainable Fashion and Textiles: Design Journeys asthe should-buy book for fashion and textiles professionals and students interested in sustainability.
