Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to the world of Sustainable Fashion, where style meets conscience, and every stitch tells a story of innovation, responsibility, and commitment to a better tomorrow. In this book, we embark on a journey through the realm of sustainable fashion, focusing our lens specifically on a garment often overlooked in the discourse of eco-conscious dressing: the humble yet versatile bathrobe. At first glance, bathrobes may seem mundane, confined to the realms of lazy mornings and cozy evenings. However, within their folds lies a wealth of potential for sustainable innovation and ethical production. From the sourcing of materials to the manufacturing process, from design considerations to end-of-life options, the bathrobe serves as a canvas upon which we can paint a more sustainable future for the fashion industry. In these pages, we explore the multifaceted dimensions of sustainable bathrobe design. We delve into the ecological impact of traditional textile production methods and examine how alternative materials and innovative techniques can mitigate harm to the environment. We celebrate the artisans and designers who are pushing the boundaries of sustainable fashion, weaving together tradition and innovation to create bathrobes that not only look good but also do good. But our journey doesn't stop there. We also confront the social and ethical dimensions of fashion, from labor rights to supply chain transparency, recognizing that true sustainability encompasses more than just environmental stewardship. Through case studies, interviews, and practical tips, we empower readers to make informed choices about the clothes they wear, encouraging them to become active participants in the movement towards a more sustainable fashion industry. Whether you're a seasoned fashion professional, a conscientious consumer, or simply someone with a passion for design, this book offers something for you. It is a testament to the power of fashion to inspire change, to challenge norms, and to redefine what it means to dress with purpose and integrity. As we embark on this journey together, let us remember that every garment we choose has the power to shape the world we inhabit. By embracing sustainability in our fashion choices, we can create a future where style and conscience walk hand in hand, where beauty is synonymous with responsibility, and where the bathrobe becomes not just a symbol of comfort, but of conscious living. So, dear reader, I invite you to step into the world of Sustainable Fashion - Bathrobes. May this book inform, inspire, and ignite a passion for change that resonates far beyond the pages. Warm regards, Rikhil Nagpal | Sheetal Sharma | Shalu Nehra

Download or read book Sustainability Compendium Edition IV written by Fibre2Fashion and published by Fibre2Fashion. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainability Compendium is an informative sourcebook that holds detailed description of hundreds of sustainable textile companies filtered from different categories of the textile value chain. It's a guiding tool for companies who are seeking to turn their business sustainable as well as be an inspiration for others to turn towards ecological business. This compendium gives the featured companies a voice to narrate their sustainable story to the corporate world. Each participant have a space in this feature to present their sustainable activities setting an example that would lead others to join the sustainable drive. Sustainable, is what it has to be Fashion in itself is a dynamic industry, and if you choose to look at fashion solely from the sustainability point of view, then keeping track of developments is simply not easy. Inventions, innovations and ideas have already changed the narrative, and the axioms of the business of fashion that dominated the discourse at the turn of the century, today sound hopelessly outdated and out-of-place. ‘Sustainable fashion’ was just another segment of the industry till even in the early half of this decade. But not anymore. Thought leaders are unanimous about one thing—sustainable fashion can no more be a niche, and many of them agree that if it ain’t sustainable, then it ain’t fashion. By and by, many brands are lending credence to that idea, while for many others the idea is just beginning to sink in. This is where this compendium comes in—with ideas. There are many articles in this volume that discuss different aspects threadbare. ‘Fashionable=Sustainable. Is that even possible?’ argues that there is more to sustainable fashion than meets the eye. The article asserts that the relationship between fashion and sustainability is active and complex, and each time we look at the key ideas or issues at stake, different aspects seem to come to light. It looks at sustainability in manufacturing, working conditions of garment workers, and the role of the fashion designer in the entire process. Therein, ‘Revitalising a lifestyle’ is an interview with Edric Ong, an award-winning Malaysian designer of natural textiles, fashion and crafts. Currently, Senior Vice-President of the World Crafts Council Asia Pacific, he set up the World Eco-Fibre and Textile (WEFT) Network to further the cause of natural fibres and dyes. In a freewheeling interview, Ong talks about sustainable fashion and where it is going globally, and how it can be made a more permanent mode of retail fashion. He also talks about his well-known experiments with ikat, and points out that eco-lifestyle is about going back to the basics. ‘The True Cost of Fast Fashion’ goes ahead to underline the fact that it is indeed possible to improve and impact almost every aspect of the production process and factors such as scale, technical viability and global supply chains are no longer limiting as long as businesses are committed to paying the true cost of production. And, ‘No, fast is not sustainable’ takes a deep dive into the entire gamut of fashion, right from the birth of the concept to the explosive growth of the segment, and finally the backlash. I hope this fourth edition will give you thoughts to mull over and even implement some in your day to day business.
