Recensioner i media

Alison Lowe approaches fashion sustainability not as a surface-level design problem, but as a deeply interconnected system, shaped through histories of extraction, consumption, governance, value re-production and commodification. What makes this text compelling is its refusal to isolate circularity, sustainability, ethics or ESG frameworks as standalone initiatives that alone may achieve positive change. Instead, Lowe frames them as more powerful when understood as interwoven structures that together demand cultural, organisational and economic transformation across the entire fashion ecosystem. The book moves beyond simplistic sustainability narratives, examining how transparency through digital innovation, governance and community accountability are critical factors to be embedded within the successful future architecture of fashion brand building itself. A timely and important contribution to contemporary fashion discourse.Wesley Hartwell, Director, Regenerative Fashion Archive, University of East London
