She offers a diversified view of fashion beyond the market and the market’s purpose, and reveals fashion provision and expression in a world not dependent on continuous consumption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFraming design and use as a single whole, the book uncovers a more contingent and time-dependent role for design in sustainability, recognising that garments, while sold as a product, are lived as a process. Drawing from stories and portrait photography that document the ways in which members of the public from across three continents use their clothes, and the work of seven international design teams seeking to amplify these use practices, \u003cem\u003eCraft of Use\u003c\/em\u003e presents a changed social narrative for fashion. It is borne out of ideas of satisfaction and interdependence, of action, knowledge and human agency, that glimpses fashion post-growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47605380055276,"sku":"9781138021013","price":113.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781138021013-craft-of-use.jpg?v=1778130643"},{"product_id":"sustainable-fashion-and-textiles-by-kate-fletcher-9780415644556","title":"Sustainable Fashion and Textiles","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePraise for the previous edition:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"[A] fascinating book.\" - John Thackara, Doors of Perception\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"Provides the foundations for a radical new perspective.\" - Ethical Pulse\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"At last a book that dispels the idea that fashion is only interested in trend-driven fluff: not only does it have a brain, but it could be a sustainable one.\" - \u003cem\u003eLucy Siegle, Crafts Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFully revised and updated, the second edition of \u003cem\u003eSustainable Fashion and Textiles: Design Journeys\u003c\/em\u003e continues to define the field of design in fashion and textiles.
