Eu recomendei este livro sem saber que encontraria em suas páginas a minha amigona super talentosa Juliana Soares, que confecciona pessoalmente suas bolsas da Maria Lixo com um tecido especial desenvolvido para dar vida longa às milhares de sacolas plásticas produzidas por ai. É uma formiguinha silenciosa fazendo sua parte. E muito bem. Para quem ainda não conhece, vou arrumar tempo de incluir algumas imagens e mais detalhes sobre o trabalho dela.
Sandy Black examines the way the fashion industry is changing to accommodate the environmental concerns of the twenty first century. She exposes the naked truth behind the clothes we wear, exploring alternate practices and assessing their feasibility. Using case studies of designers from the catwalks and the high street, including Katherine Hamnett, Marks and Spencer and Linda Loudermilk, the book illustrates how these processes are finding their way into the industry, and shows how ethical fashion has moved on from its traditional connotations of hemp shirts and rope sandals. Fashion and environmental awareness are two concerns that do not comfortably sit side by side. Over the past ten years, high street fashion, led by global chains, has become ever more affordable and disposable. The sourcing of materials, the manufacture and the distribution of clothes have become the dirty secrets of the beautiful industry.
