Moving the Fashion Industry Forward
From: The Fair Trade Handbook
$1.10
This chapter discusses how the fashion industry can move toward more ethical and sustainable choices, including an explanation of how the circular economy can be applied to fashion, using cradle-to-cradle design and current growing trends around reusing, reducing, thrifting, alterations and mending. This chapter also looks at how society can make a stronger connection to producers along the fashion supply chain.
