Perspectives: Earth Rising

Publications: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearchpeer-review

Abstract

This short commentary argues for approaching fashion sustainability as a whole systems issue and outlines some of the systems insights already uncovered. It also calls out the logic of economic growth as a key factor that limits the prospects for whole sector change. The piece argues for an alternative logic – Earth Logic – which priorities Earth and all its species, including humans as a way to diversify and vivify fashion activity within planetary limits. The fashion territory cultivated by this changed logic is unfolding already today and will continue to do so, with roles for existing and entirely new actors, garments and ways of organising clothing, albeit configured differently with altered priorities.
