Fashion

Easy, do-able, down to earth ideas and suggestions for everyone to help save the planet.

Sample flat patterns and more than 20 exercises will reinforce your understanding of the zero waste fashion design process.

34 patterns and sewing techniques to change men's shirts, scarves and neckties into women's clothing.

This book introduces the key issues associated with the production, use and disposal of fashion clothing and gives step-by-step guidance on how to identify and evaluate the potential impacts of a garment during the design process.

Arranged in two sections, the first four chapters represent key stages of the lifecycle: material cultivation/extraction, production, use and disposal. The remaining four chapters explore design approaches for altering the scale and nature of consumption, including service design, localism, speed and user involvement.

By taking a hard look at the very real impacts of our consumer culture's addiction to disposable fashion, Fixing Fashion challenges each of us to take full responsibility for understanding the hidden cost of our clothes.
