ISBN10: 1856697541, ISBN13: 9781856697545, [publisher: Laurence King Publishers] Softcover Divided into three sections, this book examines how sustainability has the potential to transform both the fashion system and the innovators who work within it. The first section, transforming fashion products, sets out ways in which the impact of garments can be reduced and their resourcefulness increased across a garment’s lifecycle; the second part presents ideas that are transforming fashion systems at root, including emerging business models that find commercial opportunity in reduced material throughput; the third section is dedicated to transforming fashion design practice and explores new opportunities for designers, which extend beyond the traditional role of creator to include working as a communicator, activist, or facilitator to bring about systemic change.
