Books like A practical guide to sustainable fashion by Alison Gwilt


A Practical Guide to Sustainable Fashion provides a comprehensive, step‑by‑step framework for examining the environmental, social, and economic aspects of fashion design and production. It begins with an assessment of current industry practices and teaches readers how to evaluate a garment’s life‑cycle impacts during the design stage. The final chapters showcase diverse, real‑world practices—such as low‑impact textiles, mono‑materiality, zero‑waste techniques, upcycling, repair, and closed‑loop systems—illustrated through case studies by international designers and brands. The book covers garment design, fabric sourcing, pattern making, construction, distribution, care, reuse, re‑manufacture, recycling, and a range of sustainable design strategies, including design for empathy, durability, and local community engagement.
