Descriere
Creating sustainable fashion has never been more important. Circular Fashion provides an accessible, practical, and holistic approach to this key topic for anyone studying fashion or who just loves clothes and wants to make better choices. This introductory text to sustainability in fashion includes best practice case studies and profiles of companies such as Patagonia, Veja, Christopher Raeburn, and Stella McCartney. It begins with an overview of the fashion business, tackling the issues of the linear production model of make, use, dispose, before exploring the idea of the circular supply chain across all areas of the industry. Circular Fashion is the must-have book for students, creatives and anyone passionate about sustainability and fashion. A marvelous book that hits the target exactly. It is written in a clear and organized manner. It covers the history of materials in a storytelling manner that keeps the reader interest. It is a broad-based explanation in a nutshell of the whole move to Circularity. Caroline Daniels, Babson College This book matches what we cover in class and provides another perspective.

Recenzii
Circular Fashion is an eminently readable analysis of the social and environmental impact of every aspect of the textile and clothing industry [...] There is a stunning depth of research in Circular Fashion and some fun discoveries along the way as well. Because of this book I started to follow innovative designers [....]
I really enjoyed the section that lists all of the conventional materials used for clothing production and unpacks their pros and cons, as well as the fascinating discussion of innovative materials (like those made from potato peels, mushrooms, oranges, and pineapples), and forward-looking, sustainable processes like green chemistry and digital finishing.
This book... has become a bookshelf go-to for me in
both my personal reflection of my own fashion consumption practice and my
professional practice as a fashion educator. Blum sets the tone as one of realism
but with a clear sense of optimism that the fashion industry and fashion
consumers can do better... I would highly recommend this book to fashion academics, educators and
anyone involved in the business of fashion, alongside fashion consumers that
want to reflect upon their consumption behaviour and make some positive
changes to it. Blum offers not only hope but viable business solutions to creating
a more circular fashion movement.
Explains how to be sustainable and gives insight to create product.
It encompasses a wide swath of information on the subject.
It shows how urgent and important understanding Sustainability in fashion is.
A great book.
