Download or read book Vestir un mundo sostenible written by Miguel Ángel Gardetti and published by LID Editorial. This book was released on 2018-04-16 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La moda ocupa un lugar destacado en el imaginario sostenible. El vestir un Mundo Sostenible conlleva, en primer lugar, vestir personalmente las ideas que el mundo necesita para ser sostenible, es decir, activar las neuronas para afrontar los retos que la cultura sostenible exige. Y, en segundo lugar, vestir el mundo de forma sostenible, a través de una moda con valores humanos, ya que, de lo contrario, faltaría el elemento clave para que la moda pueda ser llamada moda sostenible. Este libro es fruto de investigaciones y reflexiones independientes y libres, que, ante un entorno lleno de incertidumbre y volatilidad, son capaces de marcar (proponer) un norte en el panorama de la sostenibilidad. Los autores están convencidos de que la moda, para ser sostenible, necesariamente pasa por ser inspiradora de ideas y desarrolladora de un pensamiento crítico, que no sea presa de las tendencias, sino de un humanismo creativo que favorezca el consumo inteligente. Y, porque a este mundo lo siguen moviendo las ideas, la moda se muestra como canal privilegiado, a través del cual se están trasmitiendo estas. Este libro, entre otras, da respuestas a la moda como herramienta de diálogo, comunicación y pacificación; analiza el papel de esta en los procesos de civilización y desarrollo de los pueblos. Pero, principalmente, provoca que pongamos la vista en los valores y en las personas, como artífices de la auténtica sostenibilidad.

Download or read book The UN Sustainable Development Goals for the Textile and Fashion Industry written by Miguel Angel Gardetti and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-24 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. These universally agreed-upon aspirational goals for people, the planet, prosperity, and peace will not be achieved without all global and local actors – governments, the private sector, and civil society – playing their part. The SDGs offer a unique opportunity to align existing sustainability initiatives through a common framework and accelerate the industry’s efforts to address important challenges in the global textile value chain. Future sourcing models will largely be redefined by how this sector addresses the underlying themes as sourcing countries prioritize the goals and integrate them into their national plans. Stimulating discussion and exploring the many different ways in which the textile and clothing industry can implement the UN SDGs, this informative book provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of the topic, and presents various approaches, including reflexive, empirical, hands-on or applied theoretical.

Download or read book Craft of Use written by Kate Fletcher and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-26 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the ‘craft of use’, the cultivated, ordinary and ingenious ideas and practices that promote satisfying and resourceful use of garments, presenting them as an alternative, dynamic, experiential frame with which to articulate and foster sustainability in the fashion sector. Here Kate Fletcher provides a broad imagining of sustainability in fashion that gives attention to tending and wearing garments, and favours their use as much as their creation. She offers a diversified view of fashion beyond the market and the market’s purpose and reveals fashion provision and expression in a world not dependent on continuous consumption. Framing design and use as a single whole, the book uncovers a more contingent and time-dependent role for design in sustainability, recognising that garments, while sold as a product, are lived as a process. Drawing from stories and portrait photography that document the ways in which members of the public from across three continents use their clothes, and the work of seven international design teams seeking to amplify these use practices, Craft of Use presents a changed social narrative for fashion, borne out of ideas of satisfaction and interdependence, of action, knowledge and human agency, that glimpses fashion post-growth.

Los colores, elementos centrales de la moda, juegan un papel fundamental en este proceso, influyendo directamente en cómo somos percibidos y cómo nos sentimos. La ciencia detrás de los colores: La psicología del color estudia cómo los colores afectan nuestras percepciones, emociones y comportamientos.

Los colores fríos, como el azul, el verde y el morado, reflejan introspección, calma y seriedad. El color en la comunicación no verbal: Los colores se pueden utilizar para transmitir mensajes e intenciones sin necesidad de palabras. Por ejemplo, vestir de rojo en una entrevista de trabajo puede transmitir confianza y autoridad, mientras que vestir de azul puede transmitir calma y confiabilidad. Creando looks con impacto emocional: •Combina los colores con tu estado de ánimo. Si te sientes feliz, usa colores alegres como el amarillo y el naranja.
