One of the strongest trends in fashion is the expression of ecological social & community consciousness which has recently moved upscale from organic cotton T-shirts to high fashion. There is now a wide range of companies offering well designed merchandise from one-off art recycled & redesigned clothing organic & sustainable textiles & garment production to a range of community & indigenous support cooperatives bridging the gap between traditional craft & high fashion. This book shows the range of companies making a difference in the area of sustainable design in fashion exploding the myth that sustainable design is bad design or at best basic design by highlighting the range of companies producing desirable & well-designed apparel & accessories with a conscience. It not only demonstrates the range of products available around the globe but explains the stories behind them & the communities they support as well as showing how & where they make a difference.
