Sommario/riassunto

As part of a growing global awareness of the importance of eco-conscious living, both for the planet and as a means of promoting fair labor practices, more people than ever before are seeking to dress in an environmentally friendly way. On a broader scale, initiatives to promote a more sustainable approach to fashion have made headlines and grown like never before.This timely book is organized into four chapters--Buy, Wear, Care, and Dispose--each containing a short introduction with essential information followed by practical tips and illustrated case studies to help you make the first step toward a more sustainable wardrobe. A detailed reference section recommends not only the best ethical fashion labels and collections but also eco-friendly



fabrics, standards, and certifications; cleaning methods; renting, swapping, and recycling initiatives; and much more.
