Fashion & Sustainability: Design for Change

In the ever-evolving world of fashion, sustainability has become the defining theme of the twenty-first century. From labour abuses to toxic chemicals use, the fashion industry is facing a myriad of challenges that are putting a strain on the environment and society as a whole.

The book “Fashion & Sustainability: Design for Change” delves into how sustainability has the power to transform not only the fashion system itself but also the innovators who work within it. Organized into three parts, the book explores different aspects of sustainability within the fashion industry.

The first part focuses on transforming fashion products across the garment’s lifecycle, including innovations in materials, manufacture, distribution, use, and re-use. The second part looks at ideas that are reshaping the fashion system into something more sustainable, introducing new business models that reduce material throughput. The third section delves into transforming the role of fashion designers, showcasing examples where designers take on roles as communicators, activists, or facilitators rather than just stylists or creators.
