This timely new text provides a comprehensive and critical guide to ethics and sustainability across the Fashion industry.
Seeking to foster critical analysis, the book encourages students to question common narratives and delve deeper into surface-level approaches to sustainability. It raises awareness of ethical issues in the fashion industry, including the lack transparency, poor labour practices, environmental impact, and social implications of fashion production and consumption. The book provides insights into current trends, emerging regulations, and practical applications, underpinned by examples from industry. Real-life case studies from around the world showcase some of the innovative brands that have shifted the focus from profit-driven motives to value-driven growth, embracing ethics, transparency, and social purpose in their business strategies.
Exploring how the fashion industry can commit to more comprehensive, measurable changes across all aspects of design, production, labour, sales, marketing, and community engagement, this text is essential reading for postgraduate students of Fashion Management, Fashion Entrepreneurship and Fashion Sustainability, as well as reflective practitioners considering fresh approaches to their businesses.
