After reading Li yizhuo’s post about “thinking about the Relationship between Fashion and Nature”, I reached a consensus with some of her arguments, which are all from Nature lecture with kate Fletcher. I totally agree with her that “Nature is the facilitator of fashion, because nothing happens without nature.” This has to make us think about the environmental problems in society. People use resources provided by nature to find inspiration and carry out Creation, if there is no natural resources, the design and development will stop. However, in order to meet the personal needs and consumer needs of human beings, mass-produced design products, some products that are not needed become garbage, such as some chain clothing brands, zara HM , They can produce 300 pieces of clothing per second, and different sizes are also mass-produced. While gaining wealth, they also create a lot of waste (fabric treatment wastewater; after-production but not purchased clothing …), when producing clothing The resulting fibers and wastewater are eventually discharged directly into rivers and oceans. Even if they are treated, they will eventually pollute natural resources. The waste of textile products is also a big problem. A large proportion of textile products are eventually sent to landfill Buried in the factory will eventually increase pollution and affect the ecosystem
A large number of brands are now promoting the concept of sustainable development, such as Stella McCartney. Since the birth of the brand, Stella McCartney’s brand philosophy is to firmly use animal fur, has been committed to scientific innovation and environmental protection of raw material cultivation, for As far as luxury goods are concerned, maintaining the existing brand image should be above all else. In recent years, many luxury brands have joined the furless environmental protection army, and Prada is one of them.
In the “What We Carry” short film taken by Prada and “National Geographic”, we were also pleasantly surprised to find that one of the raw materials used to make ECONYL®-the remaining scraps of clothing production, from Kanazawa garments in Ganzhou, Jiangxi. Nowadays, many designs begin to adopt the eco-friendly concept of recycling and reuse of waste materials to achieve a harmonious relationship between design and nature. Green design is based on the concept of environmental protection, with the goal of saving energy and reducing environmental pollution, using environmentally friendly green materials Product design creates a clean and healthy living environment for people. With the development of society, people’s awareness of environmental protection is getting stronger and stronger. Environmental protection and low carbon are the future development trend of clothing design. The application of environmentally friendly materials to clothing design is the concept of fashion design. The use of environmentally friendly materials to show the texture and style of clothing fabrics has become a matter of great concern to clothing designers. Without buying and selling, there is no harm. Before criticizing the apparel industry or any other industry, we should reflect on our own shopping and lifestyle habits. Whether every item we buy can be used to the best of our ability.
