{"product_id":"craft-of-use-kate-fletcher-9781138021006","title":"Craft of Use: Post-Growth Fashion","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book explores the 'craft of use', the cultivated, ordinary and ingenious ideas and practices that promote satisfying and resourceful use of garments, presenting them as an alternative, dynamic, experiential frame with which to articulate and foster sustainability in the fashion sector. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere Kate Fletcher provides a broad imagining of sustainability in fashion that gives attention to tending and wearing garments, and favours their use as much as their creation. She offers a diversified view of fashion beyond the market and the market's purpose and reveals fashion provision and expression in a world not dependent on continuous consumption. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFraming design and use as a single whole, the book uncovers a more contingent and time-dependent role for design in sustainability, recognising that garments, while sold as a product, are lived as a process. Drawing from stories and portrait photography that document the ways in which members of the public from across three continents use their clothes, and the work of seven international design teams seeking to amplify these use practices, \u003ci\u003eCraft of Use\u003c\/i\u003e presents a changed social narrative for fashion, borne out of ideas of satisfaction and interdependence, of action, knowledge and human agency, that glimpses fashion post-growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kate Fletcher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138021008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138021006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/08\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Kate Fletcher","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48484286562559,"sku":"9781138021006","price":255.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d5dcce26-044d-4b55-9cb9-ec8465767c5e.jpg?v=1778043385","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/craft-of-use-kate-fletcher-9781138021006","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
