This book provides a practical guide to the ways in which designers are creating fashion with less waste and greater durability.Based on the results of extensive research into lifecycle approaches to sustainable fashion, the book is divided into four sections: Source explores the motivations for the selection of materials for fashion garments and suggests that garments can be made from materials that also assist in the management of textile wasteMake discusses the differing approaches to the design and manufacture of sustainable fashion garments that can also provide the opportunity for waste control and minimizationUse explores schemes that encourage the consumer to engage in strategies that slow fashion consumptionLast examines alternative solutions to the predictable fate of most garments - landfillIllustrated throughout with case studies of best practice from international designers and fashion labels and written in a practical, accessible style, this is a must-have guide for fashion and textile designers and students in their areas.
