Critics Review
A great book.
It encompasses a wide swath of information on the subject. – Noel Palomo-Lovinski - Kent State University
Explains how to be sustainable and gives insight to create product. – Jodi Hartmann - Marist College
It shows how urgent and important understanding Sustainability in fashion is. – Alison Davies - Cardiff Met University
A great book. – Wendy Moody - Anglia Ruskin University
Circular Fashion is an eminently readable analysis of the social and environmental impact of every aspect of the textile and clothing industry […] There is a stunning depth of research in Circular Fashion and some fun discoveries along the way as well. Because of this book I started to follow innovative designers [….]
I really enjoyed the section that lists all of the conventional materials used for clothing production and unpacks their pros and cons, as well as the fascinating discussion of innovative materials (like those made from potato peels, mushrooms, oranges, and pineapples), and forward-looking, sustainable processes like green chemistry and digital finishing.
This book… has become a bookshelf go-to for me in
both my personal reflection of my own fashion consumption practice and my
professional practice as a fashion educator. Blum sets the tone as one of realism
but with a clear sense of optimism that the fashion industry and fashion
consumers can do better… I would highly recommend this book to fashion academics, educators and
anyone involved in the business of fashion, alongside fashion consumers that
want to reflect upon their consumption behaviour and make some positive
changes to it. Blum offers not only hope but viable business solutions to creating
a more circular fashion movement.
