Basics Fashion Design #12

by Alison Gwilt

Rich in visuals, diagrams and examples of sustainable fashion from designers and experts around the world – including Vivienne Westwood, Edun, and People Tree – this book presents an inspiring, yet practical model for students and fashion designers to use within the studio environment.Sustainable Fashion begins with a reflection on current approaches to the design and production of fashion products and explores the key environmental and social issues associated with the global fashion industry today. It introduces life cycle thinking as an approach to fashion design, and subsequently explores a range of ways in which designers can make improvements at each stage in the life cycle of a garment. The process of mapping and producing an assessment of the life cycle of a garment or a collection is also explained.

Toca las bases de cómo, por qué y cuántas maneras hay de comenzar una marca de indumentaria sustentable.
Desde detalles de laboratorio, hasta qué se hace con los desechos. Mucha información sobre diseñadores de todo el mundo, diferentes manera de aplicar a pequeña y grande escala.
Después de una seguidilla de documentales mostrando efecto colaterales del rubro textil, decidí cambiarme de carrera para entender desde adentro cómo son los tratos, procesos, y acciones finales que genera esta industria. Este libro abre los ojos a ver de qué manera podemos contribuir - y comenzar - una marca propia, empezando con el pie derecho : sustentabilidad y que se sostenible a lo largo de nuestro tiempo en la Tierra.

Great overview and starting point. It's more so a collection of resources rather than detailed specifics or discussion.
