 Sustainable Fashion and Textiles: Design JourneysSustainable Fashion and Textiles: Design Journeys brings together for the first time information about lifecycle sustainability impacts of fashion and textiles, practical alternatives, design concepts and social innovation.It challenges existing ideas about the scope and potential of sustainability issues in fashion and textiles, and sets out a more pluralistic, engaging and forward-looking picture, drawing on ideas of systems thinking, human needs, local products, slow fashion and participatory design, as well as knowledge of materials. The book not only defines the field, it also challenges it, and uses design ideas to help shape more sustainable products and promote social change. Arranged in two sections, the first four chapters represent key stages of the lifecycle: material cultivation / extraction, production, use and disposal. The remaining four chapters explore design approaches for altering the scale and nature of consumption, including service design, localism, speed and user involvement. While each of these chapters is complete in and of itself, their real value comes from what they represent together: innovative ways of thinking about textiles and garments based on sustainability values and an interconnected approach to design. more Sustainable Fashion and Textiles: Design Journeys design directory Sustainable Fashion and Textiles : Design Journeys > Sustainable Design Books added by Levent OZLER |
 Createurope: The Fashion Academy Awardcreateurope: The Fashion Academy Award is a Europe-wide competition for young fashion designers and fashion design students.On the initiative of the Goethe-Institute and in cooperation with EUNIC Berlin, the European partnership of national institutions for culture in Berlin, this year the competition createurope: The Fashion Academy Award will be held for the first time. The objective of the contest is to create links between European fashion training schools in addition to promoting lasting, active dialogue between students and teachers, initially on the European and later on the international level. One of the chief instruments for establishing this European network is the website, where all private and public fashion schools in Europe can present themselves. Here, a potential young designer from Greece, for example, who would like to study fashion design in another country, can obtain an overview of the content, courses of study, conditions and costs of different European fashion schools. As yet, fashion schools from 28 countries are supporting the competition. Every entrant must send their submissions to the Goethe-Institute Berlin by 30 June 2008. A European jury made up of fashion journalists and designers will select a maximum of 30 finalists from all of Europe by the end of July 2008. The finalists will be notified that same month and invited to attend the final elimination ceremony in Berlin in mid-October 2008, to present their collections at a large fashion show. competition (ended) current design competitions more info www.cre...

It is certainly no secret that the brand has been lacking a clear and cohesive vision and has languished as a result. With this appointment, we are taking a major step towards our goal of creating irresistible product that will provide today's discerning woman with a compelling reason to buy." Mr. Mizrahi said: "Liz Claiborne is an American fashion icon. Her clothes were not only beautiful, not only smart, they were revolutionary. She invented separates, and invented an entirely new category in the department store. She made fashion friendly and accessible and in doing so she became every woman's best friend. These are all ideas I treasure and I'm honored to have the opportunity to build on this fantastic legacy and excited to reestablish the label as a must-have." more Isaac Mizrahi Named Creative Director of Liz Claiborne Brand design directory Liz Claiborne > Fashion Design Brands added by Levent OZLER |
