About the Book

As our climate, ecological and social crises converge, urgent action is needed to maximize our chances of survival. A new commercial approach is possible but it requires a systemic shift, with companies learning to operate as part of a wider ‘ecosystem’, allowing fashion to restore what it has taken and redesign itself to operate within planetary boundaries.

Regenerative Fashion presents a roadmap for new ways of doing fashion.

To keep our planet safe, we must cut production and end our dependency on fossil fuels. We must also create dignified livelihoods for the millions of people working in the industry. By using low impact materials, paying factory workers and farmers a living wage and scaling up craft production, we must not only rebuild soils, ecosystems and biodiversity, but rapidly decarbonize, support communities and ensure a just transition for all.

Part guide and part manifesto, this book shares stories of our interconnectedness with the natural world and each other, divided into sections on Nature & Materials; People, Livelihoods & Crafts; and New Economy & Leadership. Fully illustrated throughout, it features interviews from best-practice designers and businesses around the world, as well as thought pieces from leading campaigners working in the fashion industry.

With a foreword by Andrew Morgan, director of ‘The True Cost’, and case studies from across the world including the Global South, as well as thought pieces from leading campaigners such as Orsola de Castro and Bel Jacobs.
