Design Critical Texts Volume 3: Slow Fashion

by Anne Theresia Wanders

The concept of Slow Food has revolutionized cooking and agriculture over the last few years; now, this award-winning essay by emerging German fashion designer Anne Theresia Wanders proposes Slow Fashion, the concept of sustainability for the fashion industry. Here we have something very close to a fundamental reflection on the future of sustainable design as an alternative to the ethically untenable ideology of global marketing, writes critic Ruedi Baur. Without moralizing, the author discusses the possibilities for environmentally friendly design, open source concepts and networking, as well as the most direct possible production methods. This is our third book in the series of winners of the Wilhelm Braun-Feldweg Prize, recognizing innovative thinking in design and industrial design.
