How will these resources help you?

The garment industry changes as fast as the fashion it produces. Today’s consumer is well-drilled in the throw-away culture that the industry encourages as it brings out up to twelve collections per year. But the environmental damage is widespread and its social impacts run deep, including modern-day slavery. However, the industry changes rapidly and these recent resources show that despite the problems, there is reason to be optimistic. The industry is filled with designers, activists and manufacturers who are committed to finding innovative ways to make it more sustainable. The fashion industry is an engaging way in for students when studying globalisation and transnational corporations (TNCs), and these resources support them in identifying impacts and solutions.
