The Fashion System Through a Lens of Zero-waste Fashion Design
2014
Introduction
Since 2008, ‘zero-waste fashion design’ (ZWFD) has received considerable attention and
interest from fashion media, industry and education. In the broad context of fashion and sustainability, at times the attention has been disproportionate relative to the issue it addresses. Often,
that larger context is understood poorly, or is overlooked or avoided. Unless we exam ine the
interrelatedness of the different stakeholders within this complex system, any proposed solution
risks not having significant long-term impact. Nonetheless, ZWFD provides a useful lens through
which we can examine the fashion system and the relationships between and within the fashion
industry and fashion users. ZWFD was the topic of my PhD, which I completed in 2013. Since
2010, I have taught an undergraduate elective course on ZWFD at Parsons in New York, as
well as supporting students who approach their final collections through ZWFD.
