Routledge Handbook of Sustainability and Fashion - Routledge Environment and Sustainability Handbooks
Kate Fletcher
The clothing industry employs 25 million people globally contributing to many livelihoods and the prosperity of communities, to women?s independence, and the establishment of significant infrastructures in poorer countries. Yet the fashion industry is also a significant contributor to the degradation of natural systems, with the associated environmental footprint of clothing high in comparison with other products.
Routledge Handbook of Sustainability and Fashion recognizes the complexity of aligning fashion with sustainability. It explores fashion and sustainability at the levels of products, processes, and paradigms and takes a truly multi-disciplinary approach to critically question and suggest creative responses to issues of:
? Fashion in a post-growth society
? Fashion, diversity and equity
? Fashion, fluidity and balance across natural, social and economic systems
This handbook is a unique resource for a wide range of scholars and students in the social sciences, arts and humanities interested in sustainability and fashion.
