Well Dressed
Well Dressed (Allwood et al. 2006) is a provocative report whose main conclusion is that the impacts of the fashion sector are largely driven by the volume of material passing through it – so the greatest beneficial change would occur if we purchased less clothing and kept it for longer.
Further, the report supports the understanding that any change that will result in environmental and social benefits for the textile industry will be driven by consumers, and if consumers change their behaviour, companies will follow quickly, and politicians may follow also. More information
