Sustainable Fashion: Why Now? A conversation exploring issues, practices, and possibilities

Sustainable Fashion: Why Now? A conversation about issues, practices, and possibilities

Janet Hethorn and Connie Ulasewicz
$78.00
Through a collection of essays, Sustainable Fashion: Why Now? examines the issues of sustainability that designers, product developers, and consumers confront as they go about creating, wearing, and recycling clothing and fashion. Through a lively range of perspectives, the contributors discuss new ideas on how to produce fashion with organic or renewable resources, and socially responsible manufacturing techniques. This book is divided into three sections: "Connecting with People on Sustainable Practices," "Production and Economic Processes in the Global Economy," and "The Environment, the Planet, and the Material Used in Fashion Making." This structure provides an interconnected and circular way to explore the creation and practice of sustainable fashion through people, processes, and the environment. View
