Sustainable Fashion: Why Now?: A Conversation Exploring Issues, Practices, and Possibilities
Through a collection of essays, Sustainable Fashion: Why Now? examines the issues of sustainability
that designers, product developers, and consumers confront as they go about
creating, wearing, and recycling clothing and fashion. It also considers what sustainability
means alongside fashion two seemingly contradictory concepts because fashion
is all about change, and sustainability is all about preservation. Through a lively range of
perspectives, the contributors discuss new ideas on how to produce fashion with a sense of
ethics, organic, or renewable resources, and socially responsible manufacturing techniques.
This book is divided into three sections, providing an interconnected and circular
way to explore the creation and practice of sustainable fashion through people, processes,
and the environment.

A New Definition,
Various perspectives, ideas and practices of professionals in the fashion field address the importance of sustainability as it pertains to the fashion industry through its three main divisions found within the text. The traditional concept of fashion is challenged to a new height where present development, manufacturing, shipping and merchandising of textiles and products is being openly questioned and answered with a variety of possibilities. Here fashion is re-envisioned through the investigation of new or different resources that can be easily renewed; through design, sewing techniques and recycling, eliminating waste in a garments production to its life’s end and rebirth into a new creation. Our world’s present environmental situation can no longer be ignored, making the time for sustainable awareness and action regarding fashion around the globe everyone’s business.Practicing environmental stewardship in fashion from beginning to beginning allows each person/consumer to think outside the box, to be empowered to make a difference to help the earth, sustain ourselves and still allow fashion to thrive through a new definition.
