| Summary: | The growing need for a more sustainable fashion industry, in combination with technological developments in textiles and production, is causing radical alterations in contemporary fashion.

What possibilities lie within new technologies, and how do public initiatives like reuse and recycling impact progress? Finally, how do new values and ways of producing fashion result in better business models? Includes work by fashion designers Iris van Herpen, Issey Miyake, Holly McQuillan and many others. |
