Kate Fletcher's Sustainable Fashion and Textiles: Design Journeys, published by Routledge in its fully revised second edition, stands as a landmark academic text that systematically maps the lifecycle sustainability challenges of fashion and textiles — and charts credible, design-led paths forward. Structured across eight chapters divided into product- and systems-level thinking, it draws on lifecycle analysis, slow fashion theory, localism, and participatory design to offer fashion and textiles professionals and students a rigorous, pluralistic framework. Endorsed by educators, designers, and publications including Nature and Treehugger, it remains the go-to reference for those serious about embedding sustainability into the practice of fashion.
