Description

In an era of heightened environmental awareness, the fashion industry faces a pivotal moment. 'Sourcing Sustainability: Dead Stock Fabrics and Zero Waste Fashion' examines two promising strategies for reducing the industry's ecological impact. Dead Stock fabrics, surplus materials with potential, offer a unique opportunity to cut waste and preserve resources. This paper explores their economic, environmental, and ethical aspects, as well as their potential to stimulate creativity, support local economies, and promote circular fashion. Additionally, the study delves into zero waste fashion principles, including design practices, environmental benefits, and potential challenges in mainstream adoption
