Publisher's Synopsis
Fashion is one of the world's most important creative industries and touches the lives of most people in the world, helping us to construct and communicate our identity as well as providing a livelihood for millions of people. However, its environmentally polluting supply chain operations contribute to the climate crisis, all the more so due to the growth of fast fashion which relies on cheap manufacturing, frequent consumption and short-lived garment use before disposal. This book brings together diverse international and multicultural perspectives on challenges and opportunities in materials and design.
