Material diversity -- Ethically made -- Use matters -- Reuse, recycling and zero waste -- Sustainable fashion and textile systems -- Fashion, needs and consumption -- Local and light -- Speed -- User maker.
Fully revised and updated; this second edition 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 this text as the must-buy book for fashion and textiles professionals and students interested in sustainability.
