The report “A New Textiles Economy: Redesigning Fashion’s Future” presents a vision for transforming the textile sector: shifting from the current disposable model to a circular one that eliminates waste, keeps garments useful for longer, regenerates the environment, and is focused on design and collaboration across the entire industry, in order to generate lasting economic, social, and natural benefits.

This book, by a Chilean author, encourages you to see fashion from a different angle, one that is much more real and personal, leaving behind glitz and impulse buying. Through questions, interesting facts, and relatable stories, the author provokes reflection on how we relate to our clothes on a daily basis, inviting us to discover the “treasures” we already have in our closets. It is ideal for those who want to reconnect with their identity and history through what they wear, and who feel like being part of the change from the local level, step by step, with small everyday gestures.

This book is a classic on sustainable fashion. It discusses how fashion and textiles can be designed to protect the environment and improve people's lives. It explains everything from materials and how they are produced to design, consumption, recycling, and reuse. It introduces ideas such as “slow fashion” (slow, high-quality, durable fashion, as opposed to fast fashion), and shows examples of how brands and designers can do things differently, thinking about the entire life cycle of clothing.
