Produktbeschreibung

Exploring the intersection between traditional textile crafts and modern fashion practices, this book brings together leading scholars and practitioners to delve into how ancient techniques, designs and cultural heritage can inform and inspire sustainable innovation in the contemporary fashion industry. From revitalising unprotected crafts to integrating cultural symbols into modern apparel, the book provides a comprehensive look at how fashion can serve as a tool for preservation and progress.

Each chapter presents case studies and practical examples from India and the Middle East, ranging from using eco-friendly materials and zero-waste practices to empowering marginalised communities through craft.
