As climatic, ecological, and social risks converge, urgent action is required to maximize our chances of survival. A new commercial approach is possible but requires a systemic transformation, with companies learning to operate as part of a wider 'ecosystem', allowing fashion to restore what it has taken away.
"Regenerative Fashion" presents a blueprint for new ways of engaging with fashion. To keep the planet safe, we must reduce production and end our reliance on fossil fuels. We must also create dignified livelihoods for the millions of people who work in the industry. By using natural resources, paying factory workers and farmers a living wage, and scaling art production, we can not only rebuild soils, ecosystems, and biodiversity but also support decarbonization, regenerate communities, and ensure a just transition for all.
Primarily a guide and manifesto, this book shares stories of our interconnectedness with the natural world and each other, divided into sections on Nature & Materials; People, Livelihoods & Craft; and New Economy & Leadership. It is fully illustrated and contains interviews with designers and businesses considered role models worldwide, as well as thoughts from leading industry activists.
