Summary

Packed with full-colour images from contributors such as Vivienne Westwood, Stella McCartney, Edun and People Tree, 'A Practical Guide to Sustainable Fashion' is a much-needed handbook for both students and professionals in the fashion and textile industries. Beginning with a reflection on current models of fashion design and production, 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.
