Service Design for the Future of Textile Artisans' Communities: An Enabling E...Loughborough University
Overview of my PhD at Loughborough Design School (UK), within the AHRC Design Star CDT. The overall aim is to explore how service design can contribute to encourage textile artisans' communities towards a sustainable future.
Can Fashion really be eco-friendly? Or does it signify that somewhere there needs to be a compromise on design and style? Is being ethical only about: reduce, reuse, and recycle?
The answer is it that today, thanks to all the technological advances, it is possible to create a 'green' product that has sustainable, organic properties, is produced in an ethical way and still exhibits refined form of fashion and design elements. Starting from different kinds of organic fibres and raw-materials to using alternate methods of production to recycling or upcycling an existing or waste product - everything today can be done on a sustainable and affordable scale. https://fashionbi.com/insights/marketing-research/eco-friendly-fashion
Falmouth University Lecture: How to make a difference in fashion?Nicola Millson
A 4-5 hour workshop designed for 3rd year fashion students at Falmouth Univesity to introduce them to sustainability concepts and their application in fashion and business.
A very interactive session. Students were asked to bring examples of product heros – products, companies or designers that are doing something ‘sustainable’.
Everyone knows the fashion industry’s impact on our planet is immense. Many rolled up sleeves, late night discussions, and steely determination later, Palison was born.
Our mission is to bring sustainable fashion to everyone. As a business, we are working to do our part by promoting ethical practices that create high-quality, low-impact, long-lasting products. We carefully consider our fabrics and materials and work towards eco friendly clothing which results in reducing waste, chemicals, and plastics that jeopardise the planet's ecosystems. We are a work in progress.

Synopsis
| Climate change is no longer a conspiracy, ice sheets are melting, temperatures are rising and
species are disappearing. Each year, human consumption is increasing and we are losing touch
with the natural pace of the planet. Our level of consumption has now led us to the
anthropocene age in which human activity has been been the dominant influence on climate
and the environment. Our demand for faster and more frequent, low-price product has bought
us all to an undeniably scary, daunting and important milestone at which every human being
must change their lifestyle and demand change from the companies that fund them.
A clarity in what we deplete is needed, with upfront labelling, honest selling points, visible
corporate responsibility and a genuine durability promise. Consumers need a peaceful,
slower, cleaner and resourceful approach to products to make them feel less culpability for
the ever lasting damage to our home. Functional, organic garments made from renewable and
biodegradable fabrics will phase in the idea of slower, anti-consumption lifestyles, revitalising
the consumers idea of what sustainable really means. Low impact will no longer be viewed as
boring or uninspiring. Being individual while solicitous in purchaisng items will become
normal and brands will have to accommodate.
Gentle and earthy colour pallets will prove a grateful approach towards natural resources and
encourage a return to basics. Facilitating loose silhouettes with large pockets, quick
fastenings and the ability to layer up for any season fosters a feeling of consistency,
productivity and resourcefulness. Detoxing our life must now go beyond the way we travel
and eat, we must pursue clean living in everything we buy, use and wear; not only to save the
planet, but to save ourselves from the stress, anxiety and low self worth extreme consumerism
inflicts on us.
Preserving our one and only home planet now requires a fresh, elementary approach, utilising
our technological advances, reducing our fear of desertification, climate change and extinction.

|TZOA is a wearable device that monitors environmental data including air quality, humidity,
temperature, light levels and UV radiation, and presents the metrics via an app. It is small, clips
on to backpack’s, jackets or wallets and has interchangeable metallic triangular caps.
The collected data is used to build crowdsourced city-wide maps so users can track worst-
affected areas on the app and steer clear if they wish. Users can have a direct impact on their
environment and help build a powerful tool to influence environmental policy.
The app uses a minimal layout and bold graphics to illustrate the data, making it
understandable for all audiences.

Algaemy by Blond Bieber is a project investigating the potential of micro-algae for dyeing fabric
by developing an analogue textile printer that produces its own pigment.This would be a less toxic
option for dyeing clothing.
Teams from MIT Media Lab and the Royal College of Art have used bacteria to design a “bio-skin”
fabric that peels back in reaction to sweat and humidity.The fabric relies on bacteria reportedly
discovered 1,000 years ago .“We’re starting to build up an automatic printing system in which fresh
cells can be assembled on a thin fabric,” said MIT Media Lab’s Jifei Ou.The team is reportedly
working with sports brand New Balance on ways to incorporate the fabric into sportswear.This
fabric could make everyday items more functional and transitional into sportswear.Also, it uses
natural, non toxic bacteria which is planet friendly.

Researchers at Michigan State University (MSU), have developed a completely transparent solar panel
that could mean entire buildings and panes of glass could generate solar energy.
The solar panel is still in its prototype stage and the researchers hope to refine their creation for uses in
the industrial industry and manageable gadgets like handheld devices.
The solar material could be used on accessories and combined with existing wearable technology, making
items much more efficient and sustainable.

London designer Benjamin Hubert has partnered with the environmental consultancy‘CarbonTrust’ to
produce a concept wristband that could track individual carbon footprints.The‘WorldBeing’ wristband
will link to a smartphone or tablet app and could measure and report on everything from items
purchased, to modes of transport taken and energy used in the wearers’ home.
Instant visual feedback could be provided to wearers of the wristband throughout the day, using
cloud-shaped graphics that would change colour and size to indicate carbon consumption.An inbuilt
electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor could also measure the wearer’s heartbeat, and use it as a unique
signature for secure contactless payments.
An accompanying app would offer rewards – including discounts at local businesses – and competition
with other users would be used to encourage wearers to better their individual carbon “scores”.
“There has never been a better time to use design as a tool to create meaningful conversation around our
personal responsibility to make changes to our lifestyles to stop global warming,” said Hubert.
Hubert has designed the wristband to be injection-moulded from recycled discarded devices, to take
advantage of the 20 to 50 million tonnes of electronic waste generated around the world each year.
While some of the proposed functions aren’t achievable yet, Hubert and the Carbon Fund are currently
raising awareness of the project and plan to invite a round of investors to help bring the project to reality
in the future.
