Exploring the manifesto by LCF

Guerrilla Girls - Social Agenda

csfxfuture — 2018-01-30 16:16:55 UTC

I am drawn to the Guerrilla Girls, a group of anonymous artists who since 1984 have been working to expose sexual and racial discrimination against women in the art world. A lot of their work feature posters with calls to action demanding change. Their work is important to me because they explore why women are not valued financially or culturally in the same way as men.

Anti_Fashion, Li Edelkoort - Cultural Agenda

csfxfuture — 2018-01-30 16:33:09 UTC

Whilst I don't agree that fashion is dead, I find a lot of the ideas in Li Edelkoort's manifesto interesting. Especially around fast fashion, and how we use or maybe even abuse textiles, and the process of making in our culture. The manifesto is pessimistic but does make me think about how I might change my own practice.

COMME des GARÇONS, Rei Kawakubo (2010)

2018-02-14 12:09:54 UTC

These set of powerful images demonstrate the voice of the designer disseminating her core, honest and intimate values in a poetic and visceral way. The collaboration with well know artist Ai Wei Wei offers strong affecting key messages. It is visually striking and makes me think how I could create meaningful messages.

Givenchy manifesto

2018-02-14 13:10:55 UTC

Clare Waight Keller's manifesto for her new role as Artistic Director at Givenchy in 2017. I like this example as it is a traditional personal handwritten letter that conveys emotion, vision and motivations.

Josefinas Portugal / Stella McCartney

MaternelleBousson — 2018-04-09 10:12:48 UTC

** Economical / Savoir Faire /Artisan. I like this Manifesto which I believe since I was in contact with the owner of the brand through work stuff. I believe it is important to value handmade, in good condition - looking for growing without being crazy looking. ** Stella McCartney is obviously a great example of transparency when it comes to Sustainability : catwalks invits and recycled envelop as true elements parts of her manifesto. Growing in a more responsible way. It speaks to me as the team looked for an interesting alternative with technologies which anyone could use. Luxury to awaken
and have people see there is another way.

The brand is committed to ethical values, and believes the company is responsible for the resources it uses and the impact it has on the environment. it is therefore constantly exploring innovative ways to become more sustainable, from designing to store practices and product manufacturing

Minna Palmqvist - Manifesto

2018-04-09 17:27:59 UTC

WE BALANCE ON THE EDGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN

Apply gloss with a perfect touch and cover our faces.
We are ambivalent.
Together we form a mutual core
With our strong, broken hearts beating for change and our feet stuck in the mud.
We sharpen our teeth and bite our tongues.
Mrs. she’s too big now she’s too thin. You didn’t know we had it in us.

WE WALK A THIN LINE BETWEEN STRENGTH AND DECAY;

Tailored jackets bursting at the seams and laced bras dropped below our knees.
Take it to the edge, push it over, make it fall. We sleep soundly in silk pyjamas, dreaming of sisterhood.
We are taught to keep up appearances,to make ourselves smaller.
But it is not becoming to make less of ourselves than we are.

LIGHTNESS AND WEIGHT;

With tshirts covered in stains, we shine bright like diamonds.
Running fast in sharp stiletto heels to keep up, wanting to belong.
Moving slowly in worn-out sneakers with a burning desire to be left alone.
We mold our big hungry bodies like clay and our hips don’t lie.
You offered us harmony if things were done your way.
We decided to take the fight.

FACADE AND REALITY.

We are both fact and fiction.
So tangled up we sometimes don’t know what’s what.
We speak our minds with lipstick smudged on our teeth.
We age and wake up like this.
Flawless.
Sweating crystals and breathing hard.
And we don’t think you can handle this.

OUR BODIES ARE NOT YOURS TO JUDGE. OUR MINDS ARE NO ONE’S TO REPRESS.

WE BREAK DOWN.
WE RISE.
WE DECONSTRUCT.

And if you complain once more you’ll meet an army of me.

ALABAMA CHANIN

amywilliams_studio — 2018-04-10 00:08:45 UTC

The company that has become what Alabama Chanin is today began early in 2000 with the creation of hand-sewn garments made from cotton jersey t-shirts by founder and slow design pioneer Natalie Chanin.

We are a leader in elevated craft due to a strong belief in tradition and dedication to locally sewn garments and goods—both hand and machine-sewn. We maintain responsible, ethical, and sustainable practices holding ourselves to the highest standards for quality. We are makers and educators, working to elevate and merge design, craft, and fashion.

At Alabama Chanin, we preserve traditions of community, design, producing, and living arts by examining work and life through the acts of storytelling, photography, education, and making.

Zero+Maria Cornejo

amywilliams_studio — 2018-04-10 00:18:41 UTC

DESIGNED FOR WOMEN BY WOMEN
At the heart of each garment is a commitment to make desirable fashion for real women that lasts beyond a single season and become cherished items in a woman’s wardrobe. Imbued with warmth, joy and a very particular understated style, we design to make women feel good about themselves.

LOCALLY PRODUCED

Since the beginning, and as a result of the company’s commitment to the local economy, the Zero + Maria Cornejo collection has been largely produced (84%) in the heart of New York City’s Garment District with the exception of a few categories including shoes and knitwear which are made by small, independently owned factories in Italy, Bolivia, Peru and China.

RESPONSIBLE DESIGN

We aim to design and manufacture in the most purposeful and beautiful way and to create a product that is uncompromising in its respect for quality and value. Dedicated to fostering a company ethos that is just as committed to its social impact as its environmental, we use ecological and sustainable fabrics wherever possible. And as a company owned and run by women, the team continuously looks to develop special collaborations with women artisans around the world.

Personal manifesto:

amywilliams_studio — 2018-04-10 00:22:39 UTC

Creating responsibly. Making minimally. Impacting powerfully.

For me, this video manifesto of Ellen MacArthur Foundation is an effective content explaining current problems in the fashion industry and how we can redesign it

zeinep_124 — 2018-04-10 00:24:09 UTC

And as one of my coursemates mentioned here before me, Li Edelkort's Anti Fashion manifesto is fantastic.

zeinep_124 — 2018-04-10 00:32:33 UTC

Franca Sozzani's Water&Oil Vogue issue can be considered as a powerful visual manifesto for showing how fashion can be bravely used for highlighting social, political, ecomonic and environmental issues.

First Things First Manifesto

imluana93 — 2018-04-10 19:51:18 UTC

I have found this manifesto a while ago and it's from 1964. It was built by designers, students and photographers who wanted to make their job meaninful again, considering that advertising was kind of ruining their work. It's funny how a manisfesto published in 1964 still applies in today's lives.

amberpigini — 2018-04-10 19:51:54 UTC

my Agenda is about social and it is clear that fashion have a key role to honor equality for all human beings. This means that fashion should fight against inequality between humans. Emma stone a British actress launched the campaign for gender quality “heforshe”. Fashion industry has a huge voice in equality and gives a message that men and women are equal, there is a natural balance.
Fashion also as a key role in sustainability, just think about Stella Mccartne who fights against enviromental pollution and the respect for people and animals. She believes that it is possible to create luxurious products without causing unnecessary harm to the planet.

Just mission

2018-04-10 20:50:39 UTC

Just is a really interesting company with a mission of equality and sustainability. Their mission to: create a a fair, honest, and just food system is the food system in every community. Their dedication through research to use old resources that have been forgotten in mass production of food really sets them apart from other companies. I find this dedication to the future through searching in the past very powerful and something that can definitely be applied to fashion as well.

Fast Fashion is Fast Food Manifesto

ymarston1 — 2018-04-10 21:26:17 UTC

Call to action for those who live in excess.
*this manifesto speaks to me because we humans truly do live in a world of excess - especially here in the USA. I strive regularly to live with less, but it is truly a constant battle to do so - especially having two children.

Manifeston's such a this truly are compelling. These words hit you right in the gut. These words back you into a corner and don't let you out - until you honest with yourself and come to terms with its reality.

-Less is more and the reasons why are listed below.
- Purchasing quality goods that last is one key to making a difference.
-Transparency thru the entire supply chain matters too.

This short film shows us two realities in the fashion business: the modern slavery and an apparently less important view, the "western size slavery". 38 are the "euros" a woman receives in exchange of more than 12 hours a day of hard labour, and 38 is the size "western women" are expected to fit in order to "be happy".

Ecological manifesto

2018-04-11 12:31:12 UTC

This manifesto from a copenhagen based brand is simple but has an important message many companies could learn from:
#Our biggest goal is to show that fair fashion made in sustainable fabrics do not have to be boring or less fashionable, it can be combined and we do our best to show that it’s possible."

It is inspiring and goes to tell to "do your best" it is still an improvement fr
om the traditional practices and materials.

Cultural Manifesto

issymummery — 2018-04-11 13:22:22 UTC

I am inspired by manifestos that strive to bring about cultural change in fashion and society. In small ways such as encouraging people to repair their clothes as shown in the fashion revolution magazine and in big ways such as advocating a vegan diet.

"When the last tree has been cut down, the last fish caught, the last river poisoned, only then will we realize that one cannot eat money."

Fashion Manifesto

We are a global movement of fashionistas, activists, designers and bloggers united by a belief that beautiful fashion shouldn't cause toxic pollution. Sign the Fashion Manifesto and become a part of this people power movement.

1. We believe that brands and suppliers must act immediately to stop poisoning waterways around the world with hazardous chemicals.

2. We recognise that this will not happen over night, and want brands and suppliers to be transparent about what chemicals they are releasing into the environment on the road toward toxic-free fashion. It is our water, we have a right to know.

3. We believe in rewarding and collaborating with honest and progressive suppliers and brands, and will encourage others to do the same.

“The Greenpeace Detox Manifesto is a concrete step that will engage many important players in the fashion and textile industry. Collaboration is the key. We must all subscribe to life changing solutions to safeguard our environment.” Orsola de Castro

REMADE REDUCED RECYCLED

Alter_ego — 2018-04-11 20:00:35 UTC

The philosophy of Christopher RÆBURN is very much about taking elements and materials from the past [recycling/ upcycling/ remaking], looking to the future e.g. by working with new - more sustainable and environmentally friendly -technologies, while making fashion work for the present. But he does not limit himself to fashion - e.g. he is currently collaborating with London Zoo on aluminium water cans.

OUR SUSTAINABILITY ROADMAP

We have a long track record in sustainability and are proud of our accomplishments, but we will never rest on our laurels. We constantly strive to improve our sustainable performance while acting upon our leadership role and listening to the expectations of our stakeholders and consumers. One example is our extended Sustainability Roadmap, which pushes the limits of our own ambitions further than ever before. A direct outcome of our business strategy ‘Creating the New’, it translates our overall sustainable efforts into tangible goals that have a direct impact on the world of sport we operate in.

As a global sports company, we believe that through sport we have the power to change lives. This is supported by research we have conducted. It shows that our consumers believe that sport makes us healthy and happy, that it creates value and empowers people. An impressive 92% even say that sport has a positive impact on our society. But for sport to change lives, it needs a space to exist, a field to play on, an ocean to surf or a mountain to climb – and these spaces are increasingly endangered due to man-made issues including human rights violations, pollution, growing energy consumption and waste. Based on our love of sport and responsibility as a globally operating company, we want to be the guardians of these spaces. Thus, we have developed a holistic approach that seriously tackles the challenges that endanger the spaces of sport and simultaneously our planet and people.

OUR PRIORITIES FOR 2020

Our Sustainability Roadmap identifies six strategic priorities to address the issues and challenges of the spaces where sport is made (all places where products are created, designed, manufactured and shipped), sold (own retail, wholesale and e-commerce) and played (from the indoor court to the outdoor pitch all over the world). Following the entire lifecycle of sport, our most holistic approach to date supports us in creating responsibly across our entire supply chain, with tangible and measurable goals, and ensures that sport remains a source of happiness for all people.

Economical Manifesto - Everlane...

Everlane offer customers transparent and detailed information about its supply chain and cost breakdowns. They support their workers wages and hours and also offer classic 'slow fashion' alternative pieces to help consumers cherish their purchases for longer.

Fast Fashion....

blessness — 2018-04-12 01:56:02 UTC

As per the diagram below, all fast fashion is driving increased sales and volume, by buying cheaper goods....due to the cheaper quality, it has a shorter life, and eventually ends up in the trash/landfill....

Steal Like An Artist by Austin Kleon

vinifc14 — 2018-04-12 02:51:03 UTC

Steal like an artist.
Don’t wait until you know who you are to get started.
Write the book you want to read.
Use your hands.
Side projects and hobbies are important.
The secret: do good work and share it with people.
Geography is no longer our master.
Be nice. (The world is a small town.)
Be boring. (It’s the only way to get work done.)
Creativity is subtraction.

Permaculture

2018-04-12 05:52:50 UTC

I like what Permaculture stands for as it focuses on reconnecting with nature, everything having a purpose, and improving our environment. It also looks at people and their well-being as a key part of looking after the planet. It allows people to survive without having to be part of the unsustainable growth economy in Western society.

https://permacultureprinciples.com/ethics/

"Central to permaculture are ... three ethics.

The ethics earth care, people care and fair share form the foundation for permaculture design and are also found in most traditional societies.Ethics are culturally evolved mechanisms that regulate self-interest, giving us a better understanding of good and bad outcomes. The greater the power of humans, the more critical ethics become for long-term cultural and biological survival.

Permaculture ethics are distilled from research into community ethics, learning from cultures that have existed in relative balance with their environment for much longer than more recent civilisations. This does not mean that we should ignore the great teachings of modern times, but in the transition to a sustainable future, we need to consider values and concepts outside the current social norm."

The Four Agreements

By Don Miguel Ruiz

I believe if we were all kinder and happier people, the world would be a better place. Living in a capitalist/consumerist society can make us stressed, anxious, competitive, and driven by the dollar. We need to work toward the greater good and lift each other up int he process.

London Fashion Week along with the British Fashion Council, the mayor of London and Vivienne Westwood announced their collaborative campaign "to bring the fashion industry together to lead in ambitious climate action, for a safer and greener future".

grantrobertdavison — 2018-04-12 07:51:38 UTC

Christopher Ræburn’s collections have had sustainability at their core from the beginning. The designer’s collections are made with discarded military fabrics. This forged the brand’s REMADE, REDUCED, RECYCLED ethos.

Thought for life

2018-04-12 18:05:03 UTC

I compel those without monetary means to write, to preach, to post, and to speak up for that unprecedented change with which you seek; to avoid falling back into the eternal abyss of your lifeless, inactive and inconsequential ways. For know your actions are not taken in vain, but taken for prosperity, to ensure and enrich the generations of next for which all men before have fulfilled a similar vain. Allow one’s mind the courage to think freely, to contemplate what ends and aims man should enact. Philosophize always, but let action win the mind, as this is the only possible dictate with which society can prevail. Do not use force, protest, trickery, criminality or vice, but fair and equitable dialectic, conversation, and art to win your fellow man. Relentlessly pursue the moral imperative, to convince those who live lavishly in capitalism’s reward, that they have done so by chance, for the systems construction is but an illusion and idea. Remind them how fortune has looked upon them so, and that all who possess a rational mind, and the opportunity to participate, are capable of the similar feats. Remind them that no class, race, sex, identity or otherwise has any principal power over the virtue of ideas. Let them see that your voice is strong, that your voice is worthy, that your mission is to improve, to educate and to dispel all error from human misunderstanding in order to create a society anew. Become a servant to virtue and act dutifully as all those with whom you admire have done so before, as a martyr for your ideas, for justice, for love, for peace, for fulfillment in the profound journey of all previous generations to improve the lot of the next. For I promise that your altruism will not go unnoticed, both by the public and by yourself. For virtue to exist in the state, it must first exist in the individual, and this journey will transform you as well. Speak up with your truest capital, the only thing that can genuinely and earnestly change the world, namely your ideas, the same ideas with which all men share. Believe in the change you wish to be and never underestimate the power of an Idea.

Thoughtful consumption decisions

sarit5 — 2018-04-13 01:23:09 UTC

We must consider the impact our purchasing decisions have on the world around us- how much waste we generate, whether or not we encourage sustainable/organic/local businesses, etc. Each individual consumer can drive change in their world by voting with their wallet- and has the obligation to do so.

Sustainable farming practices

sarit5 — 2018-04-13 01:24:04 UTC

Key to enabling us to make and consume the food we love today, tomorrow and in the next generation. In sustaniable farming systems, each member of the stakeholder has a share in overall success and can use that to grow their own business- from farmers to brands and retailers.

Business structures that are built on equitable foundations for women and minorities

sarit5 — 2018-04-13 01:34:39 UTC

In order to truly build sustainable prosperity, we must develop business structures that address the historic inequities, injustice and disadvantages that women and people of color still face in our society. This includes working conditions in fields and factories as well as human resources practices in corporate offices.

Zero Waste Daniel is a Brooklyn based designer that used scraps of fabric and end of the roll textiles to create one of a kind looks.

rebeccadecarlo12 — 2018-04-13 02:39:36 UTC

This aligns with the social agenda because the clothes are made sustainably in Brooklyn where working conditions can be monitored and exploitation is taken out of the equation.

A manifesto with 7 demands to the fashion industry presented at the Copenhagen Fashion Summit

tam_reynolds — 2018-04-13 03:04:04 UTC

Students collaborated to create these demands to the fashion industry ..
1. empowerment and education of workers and consumers.
2. that the fashion industry takes drastic and immediate action towards implementing closed-loop water systems to ensure that the industry is not dependent on fresh water as a resource.
3. you all to collaborate as active investors in a fashion industry where capital, profit and success are redefined and measured in more than monetary value
4. that by 2030 fashion is no longer the second largest polluting industry in the world.
5. that designers, brands and governments collaboratively invest in the recycling technology and infrastructure that is needed to secure and enable a circular system.
6. economic consequences in order to reverse standards.
7. we demand a long-term investment on the well-being of the community as a whole, through: - Fair Wages - Improving Infrastructure - Ensuring food security.

Start small. Stay small. Create ONLY 100% sustainable, Fair Trade, Organic, Natural fashion. Make the best clothes you can. Have Fun. Share your success. Live long.

Respect comes in waves.

ludovica_mucci — 2018-04-13 10:53:14 UTC

As one starts being respectful of others, mutual trust and kindness could consequently spread like a wave and could therefore improve the quality of life not only at your workplace but outside also. With the respect for others comes also the respect for what you do and for the materials you work with. Practicing this, means being conscious of the way you produce art and conscious about the message you want to send and that you want others to follow, in order to establish a chain of intelligent consumerism. Moreover, preserving the manufacture process could seriously improve our quality products and investisting in them for terms longer than a season.

Stella McCartney Mission Statement

becca_murray21 — 2018-04-13 14:31:48 UTC

'We are agents of change. We challenge and push boundaries to make luxurious products in a way that is fit for the world we live in today and the future: beautiful and sustainable. No compromises.

Each decision we make is a symbol of our commitment to defining what the future of fashion looks like. From never using leather or fur and pioneering new alternative materials to utilising cutting edge technologies, pushing towards circularity, protecting ancient and endangered forests and measuring our impact with ground-breaking tools.'

Ecological Manifesto

isa_schuschli — 2018-04-13 15:11:15 UTC

The brand Insecta shoes from Brazil has as values: vegan shoes, made in Brazil, recycled materials and sustainable - artisan chain.

For me the closest manifesto is the manifesto of Fashion Revolution "We love fashion, but we don't want our clothes to come at the cost of people or our planet."

This Manifesto of Li Edelkoort is a must see, it appoints many topics of the challenges of today and towards which direction the industry is going. Depressing and hopeful at the same time.

" All of our fabrics go through a rigorous selection process. The truth is, every fibre has an environmental impact. That's why we take our time to study the good and the bad of each one, and work only with the fabrics that we believe can make the most beautiful clothes, with the least harm to Mother Nature."

strictly in terms of fashion, I'm inspired by the manifestos of Stella McCartney & Patagonia. 2 brands that have strong identity and brand recognition, and that put sustainability at their business core.

2018-04-13 16:46:31 UTC

In a more cultural level, I'm very touched by serial entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk's manifesto. He advocates for being honest and hustle in life so strongly and passionately that it hurts. I might not agree with him all the time, but he's one of a kind honest and forward thinking voices in today's overcrowded media scenery.

United colors of Benetton

ac_trouwborst — 2018-04-13 18:07:41 UTC

This campaign was so huge!

..and struck the world by its simplicity, touching taboos.. everybody could identify with it, it seemed..

Its interesting to see how Benetton had such clear values and strong communication in the eighties and nineties, and now seems an all but clearly positioned Brand..

Forward thinking..

danamarie_knetsch — 2018-04-13 22:16:52 UTC

I agree with many of you who chose Li Edelkoort´s manifesto as their favourite. (https://www.businessoffashion.com/articles/voices-video/video-li-edelkoort-reads-her-anti-fashion-manifesto).
But I also found another one: Martijn van Strien´s Open Source Fashion Manifesto which sees future fashion as a long-lasting and communal item, produced close to your home and designed by consumers. Definitely worth to read and consider about: http://www.martijnvanstrien.com/open-source-fashion-manifesto/

I was so inspired by the 'Fixers Manifesto' posted by @YvonneMarston below, and want to share a similar great resource called I_Fixit at https://ifixit.org/right

shahirakamal — 2018-04-14 05:44:47 UTC

Ifixit is committed to helping people learn to repair what they buy. They are also working to create documentation for companies that refuse to include manuals with their products, or who attempt to deter consumers from altering their products.

I especially like their statements:
"Repair is freedom, repair creates jobs, repair is sustainable."

"Repair injects soul and makes things unique."

"Repair requires creativity."

"If you can't fix it, you don't own it."
- repair connects people and devices, creating bonds that transcend consumption
- self-repair is sustainable

Toms y Stella M

crisvanhervel — 2018-04-14 06:26:47 UTC

All this is not new for me, however I am learning too much when dealing with these issues in depth, I was in Vogue forces of fashion last year and Stella M. was very insistent with the theme of sustainability in all our creative, commercial, cultural processes , social, which fully shared their views and concerns about the consequences so severe that our ecosystem has suffered due to our consumption habits in the last 15 years, which made my manifesto quite clear. Another great example that I love for the impact it has for the beneficiaries is the case of the Toms brand, donating a pair of shoes to someone who needs it for each pair sold is something of a great social contribution and above all that is inclusive to any consumer.

They lead the way

2018-04-14 08:53:54 UTC

I have a few manifestos that that have touched me over the years in a variety of ways.

When it comes to the overall direction of Fashion, I think that Stella has had it going in the right direction for years and she gets her message across in simple down to earth messages both verbal and visual. She has been one of the loudest voices for my generation for the sustainable manifesto.

In industry, when it comes to a driving force and end goal that are completely in line with my own, I have chosen to discuss the manifesto of Fashion Futures, who have highlighted the importance of emphasising “the importance of the garment life and use” and also “Give the designer opportunities and tools to utilize their full potential “ This I feel is absolutely crucial and should be taught during all stages of design, from Secondary education, and with a definite focus at any kind of degree level. I will be keen to follow the progress of Fashion Futures and explore their breakthroughs as and when they become public knowledge.

When you look at the design manifesto in relation to culture, I love Vivienne Westwood’s creative performance titled Active resistance to propaganda, that enforces the necessity of self-discipline, “Invention must serve the purpose of art, The aim of art is objectivity - she comes to life when we are objective - when we see her as she is. Without judges there is no art.
Neither is there culture, - for art gives culture” she is addressing “the impostor is self-conscious, demonstrating his idea, projecting his theory, his ego” and saying that we all need to be working together, driving change but to fuel art itself. She is fantastic in her pursuit of the creative.

“Clothes should be made from the heart and soul.” Dries van Noten

cakeymcdoodle — 2018-04-14 08:59:49 UTC

In my case, “heart and soul” includes veganism, feminism, respect for skin colour, gender and sexuality, and careful use of the planet’s resources and its peoples.

“I don’t feel comfortable defending my clothes. But if you’ve got the money to afford them, then buy something from me. Just don’t buy too much.” Vivienne Westwood

cakeymcdoodle — 2018-04-14 09:01:29 UTC

We are all trying to take the higher ground with sustainable, slower fashion. This is a good reminder not to get on a moral high horse! :)

think more, waste less

2018-04-14 09:51:22 UTC

I confess I haven't always thought this way. I feel guilty I have so many clothes I used twice in two years. My mentality is changing and I hope it is not the only one.
This is a serious cenario and it's sad we still buy compulsively.
Let's buy second-hand denim jackets. Let's sell that dress we've bought for a party and we're not gonna wear it anymore. Let's be conscious. Let's transform fashion into a sustainable, slower industry.

HeForShe

2018-04-14 11:34:48 UTC

Emma Watson's speech and manifesto launching the HeForShe campaign at the United Nations stands out for me as an incredibly powerful manifesto. Her vulnerability, passion and conviction on top of the applaudable aims set out in her speech make it memorable, powerful, relatable and a strong call for action.

mvczats — 2018-04-14 12:02:23 UTC

Vêtements had an extremely interesting display at Harrods which consisted of an enormous pile of clothing that would go into a landfill from this year. The brand stressed the difference for them between luxury and fast fashion and the mistakes of the consumer as well as the brands. This was an extremely positive manifesto to me because it promoted the brand and established their stance on fast fashion. A more political manifesto done by Dior would be their ‘We Should All Be Feminists’ screen print t-shirts which echoed those done by Margiela for AIDS in the past. This was a less convincing manifesto because it seemed to be more about economic promise of the millennial demographic that felt strongly about issues of feminism rather than a shift of the brand towards supporting the movement. Vêtements had nothing to gain through their highlight on the world of fast fashion—Dior on the other hand was more concerned about the revenue that the demographic would bring.

Parley for the Oceans: A.I.R. Strategy

2018-04-14 12:04:39 UTC

One of my favourite manifestos about sustainability has to be Parley's. A.I.R. is an acronym for Avoid, Intercept, and Redesign, which is seen throughout all their processes as a sustainable design company. Having worked with fashion brands such as Adidas and Stella McCartney, they are paving the way for sustainability within the Fashion Industry!

Refusing to choose between design and social responsibility

annaefarquharson — 2018-04-14 13:27:12 UTC

Reading Yvon Chounaird’s book ‘Let My People Go Surfing’ introduced me to the whole concept of sustainability in business. Patagonia’s mission to ‘cause no unnecessary harm’ resonates with how I believe we should all aim to live our lives on this planet. http://www.patagonia.com/company-info.html

I really like Veja’s manifesto: ‘standing up with one foot in design and the other in social responsibility’, as it clearly captures their view on how a product should be made. The supply chain for their sneakers is highly transparent and the materials they use are largely organic. Veja also has a number of great social initiatives such as getting ex-offenders back into the workforce through positions at their warehouse in France. https://project.veja-store.com/en/intro

I am also a fan of the circular economy principles that Nudie jeans run their business by. Their manifesto: ‘a high quality product made in a fair way,’ demonstrates their commitment to sustainable, transparent production. The brand also promotes circular economy principles through their denim repair and recycling programme, which makes their products more of an investment than a throw away item. https://www.nudiejeans.com/page/this-is-nudie-jeans#organic

To implement a manifesto that considers sustainability from the start works it into the economic workings and growth of the company. Customers come and spend with them as they buy into the company ethos and the company in turns creates a sure community.

luanne_slingerland — 2018-04-14 15:27:32 UTC

"I have always been inspired by nature's authenticity.
My design and making hope to reflect this same spirit;
every design element is carefully considered and close attention is paid to fine
construction and finish. With Jane Sews I sought out to create uplifted staples and
timeless pieces that are suitable for all seasons. The small run collections are
crafted from high quality, natural fabrics and are both functional and easy to wear.

Each collection is designed in-house by our small team of
makers who are pedantic about fit and finish. We do not outsource or mass produce.
Our limited collections consist of what we believe to be the core essentials.
Our focus is on quality and minimal design translated into key pieces that you can
build your wardrobe around.

We are committed to producing products that are unique,
made from quality materials, designed with great care and
presented in simple and inspiring ways.

This is a story sewn by honest hands speaking to a
simpler way of living. We hope that your Jane Sews

piece finds a treasured place in your wardrobe."

The best Patagonian campaigns have been exposed here. However, this letter from Yvon Chouinard which I find very persuasive and which demonstrates in my opinion all the faith, vitality, energy and exemplary posture that this brand continues to demonstrate in its commitment to Sustainable Development is very inspiring of the virtuous cicle and brand commitment to Sustainable Development.

Finally I pay a small tribute to the personality that at the time I finished my master's thesis and questioned a whole system of fashion absolutely anachronistic! in the face of world problems and the fact that design was so much related to the architecture of the ways of life, anxieties that found encouragement at that time when still few voices within the system had the courage to make themselves heard directly about the unsustainability of Fashion, Kate Fletcher.

This is one of the slogans of the Fashion Revolution organization. For me, it is an excellent example of a manifesto, because it guides (from the questioning) a new way of think about the industry: as a consumer, as an educator or as a brand, and also brings closer a new set of values that can be applied for every role in the industry.

“There's no difference between a pessimist who says, 'It's all over, don't bother trying to do anything, forget about voting, it won't make a difference,' and an optimist who says, 'Relax, everything is going to turn out fine.' Either way the results are the same. Nothing gets done.” Yvon Chouinard

Cultural Agenda

mariannamichael01 — 2018-04-14 23:13:38 UTC

Image 1: ‘First Things First’ by Ken Garland (1964) I would also like to add the other two manifesto's that fit with my thinking. These are: ‘Anti_fashion’ by Li Edelkoort (2015) and ‘Active Resistance’ by Vivienne Westwood (2007).

My reasons for this in short:

The industry has changed greatly, and something that I keep repeating is this idea that fashion is moving too fast and beyond its own means. I fear that fashion is losing a sense of self. Vivienne Westwood's specifically, which can be found here: http://activeresistance.co.uk/getalife/Manifesto_ENGLISH.pdf is perhaps the most important for the way I see the cultural agenda.

NOAH, NYC

2018-04-15 05:00:55 UTC

"As a brand, Noah seeks to take a stand against many of the appalling practices of the fashion industry. Our clothes are made in countries, mills and factories where tradition, expertise and human dignity take precedence over the bottom line. We donate portions of our profits to causes we believe in. We speak out on issues we find important, and try to help give voice to the people and organizations we care about. We do this humbly, but with a firm belief that a responsible brand is a healthy one; that putting our values on the line pushes us to do our best.

The interests and influences that inspire our clothing fall under a large, inclusive, cross-generational umbrella. Our ideas come as much from the possibilities we see in fabrics and designs as our commitment to living active, engaged lifestyles. We believe in doing things our own way, with conviction, according to principles we determine ourselves. That’s the definition of punk rock to us, and we’re interested in the endless ways people from all walks of life manifest this attitude."

I love Brendon Babenzien's vision, ideas and manifesto. He keeps it simple, yet extremely impactful to the world. I believe Brendon's separation
with Supreme NYC was the best decision he made.

Modern slavery: the issue of our time

There are more slaves today than at any other time in history. 45.8 million people in 167 countries are trapped in what is known as “modern slavery,” with seven out of ten of these victims directly related to the private sector. These people, who make the products we buy and harvest the food we eat, are exploited every day for their labor. Despite the best efforts made by governments, the United Nations and NGOs around the world, only 0.2% of the victims around the world are helped each year. We need to enlist the help of the private sector.

I am talking about something way further than the Hollywood-scandal. Not all women/men are treated in a human way and this can depend on the cultural values in the different countries. The attention that it gets also from celebrities makes this manifesto even bigger.

This manifesto is about how much our clothes real cost, who made our clothes, the conditions it was produced and who pays for our clothes be cheaper. The fashion revolution became recognized in world and it made we rethink our form to consume, think about buy clothes when it's necessary, buy clothes wich we need, clothes wich wil be durable, and think what will happen with this clothes when we stop using it.

#fashionandsustainability

«Demasiadas personas en el mundo subsisten en unas condiciones de vida indignas y su número está creciendo cada día. Como representantes del conjunto de profesiones que configuran el entorno construido, es nuestra responsabilidad oponernos a esta situación intolerable.»

Con este párrafo comienza el «Laufen Manifesto for a Humane Design Culture», una declaración de principios que vio la luz en octubre de 2013 y que en estos momentos se está difundiendo entre arquitectos y diseñadores.

Sus autores defienden que diseñadores y arquitectos deben contribuir de una manera más dinámica y relevante a la igualdad mundial y producir espacios que contrarresten la explotación, el control y la alienación. Asimismo, declaran que los diseñadores y arquitectos deben multiplicar sus esfuerzos para mejorar la calidad ecológica, social y estética del entorno.

De entre las ideas del Manifiesto sobre cuáles deberían ser las actitudes y acciones de los diseñadores, nos gustaría destacar las siguientes:

- Comunicar de manera respetuosa.

- Fomentar la colaboración y el diálogo para empoderar a las personas y comunidades. Impulsar el proceso participativo.

- Concebir los proyectos de manera que den lugar a una obra significativa. Promover una forma descentralizada de construcción y producción y usar técnicas y materiales no estandarizados.

- Explorar nuevos modelos de autoconstrucción para poblaciones con pocos recursos económicos.

- Hacer patente la belleza porque puede ser más fuerte que el miedo y, por tanto, ser un catalizador crucial del desarrollo humano. Luchar por una auténtica armonía.

- Identificar lo local. Observar con detenimiento las condiciones geofísicas, la construcción local, las tradiciones y jerarquías espaciales. Un diseño con sensibilidad cultural contribuye a la autosuficiencia y economías locales más sostenibles.

- Educar a los diseñadores pues no están suficientemente capacitados para lograr un cambio positivo en las personas que viven en condiciones difíciles. La educación del diseño tiene que cambiar radicalmente para asegurar que los diseñadores jóvenes estén preparados para cerrar la brecha entre el diseño y la construcción y comunicar mejor con las comunidades locales y las partes implicadas.

- Desarrollar una estrategia de política global. Movilizar recursos humanos y financieros. Encontrar soluciones más amplias y mejores, a un menor coste para un mayor número de personas.

- Comprender el territorio. Los proyectos de diseño han de operar entre lo local, lo regional, lo continental y lo global.

Como otros muchos manifiestos, es muy posible que el Laufen solo se quede en una declaración de intenciones pero, desde nuestro punto de vista, eso no le quita valor pues aporta algo que hace mucha falta: invitar a los diseñadores a pensar en ese 90% para el que, en la mayoría de los casos, no diseñan.

Patagonia's Mission Statement

Our values reflect those of a business started by a band of climbers and surfers, and the minimalist style they promoted. The approach we take towards product design demonstrates a bias for simplicity and utility. Our mission is to build the best product, cause no unnecessary harm, use business to inspire and implement solutions to the environmental crisis.

Ecoalf

Ecoalf symbolizes what I believe the fabrics and products of the new generations should be, a new fashion/lifestyle brand that integrates breakthrough technology to create clothing and accessories made entirely from recycled materials with the same quality, design and technical properties as the best non-recycled products. That way we show that there is no need to use our world´s natural resources in a careless way”.

Gabriela Hearst

caroprevett — 2018-04-16 03:01:13 UTC

Modern Luxury:
By determining her own house codes, Hearst has written a manifesto of how modern luxury should look with honesty, authenticity and accountability woven into the fabric of the brand as tightly as quality and craftsmanship. Her deﬁnition of honest luxury is transparency. “We’re trying to buy the best materials we can with the social component of making them in a beautiful factory by great people who love their jobs, and this is the margin that we need to have to sustain our business, to be able to grow, to employ people and to make a proﬁt.” She concedes, “It’s hard to make something authentic and honest be aspirational, too.”

Fortunately, Hearst doesn’t stand alone, and urges us to use our purchasing power more wisely. “There are others with the same commitment and I feel there are going to be more. There are brands out there that have great craftsmanship. Choose your materials. Pay attention to the tag. Take a little more interest in the product that you’re buying – not just how it looks, but how it feels and how it’s made.”

The Slow Fashion Manifesto

2018-04-16 05:28:41 UTC

I like this manifesto as is outlines how simple it is to shop for sustainable fashion. It's not a difficult switch to make. I also think this is a good summary to remember when shopping. It relates to the Social Agenda, because a big part of slow fashion is shopping local. By shopping local, you support independent makers, who aren't using the same sweatshop factories that big fast fashion brands use.

SUKKHACITTA
We envision a future where artisans can earn a dignified income from their craft, ensuring inclusive development while returning pride to the sector.
We believe that our heritage crafts should not be kept in museums, but has its place in today's modern time. But what not many understand is that the current system in the handcraft sector perpetuates an ugly equilibrium - that is, not all 'handmade' items are made equally. Most perpetuates this situation.

To us, beautiful items is not enough when the reality for those who make it is not beautiful. It's beyond that - and there is an imperative to find a way that supports, rather than exploits, these remarkable artisans. It's time to bring pride back into our culture, it's time to change the conversation.

ANIMANÁ AND HXN
We believe that fashion industry needs a change and that can be transformed as a force of good. We believe in conscious consumption, sustainable production processes and timeless and durable design.

We are working towards shifting the paradigm of fashion industry, uniting all actors on fair and sustainable practices.

We work with producers of natural fibers, cooperatives, social entreprises and craftmens from vulnerable comunities to preserve their artistic traditions and improve their quality of life. We also work with fashion leaders to provide recomendations and guidelines to improve general business practices. animaná unites ancestral techniques with contemporary design using natural fibres, to create sustainable luxury products.

Exploring the manifesto: about men's suits

roel_hendrickx — 2018-04-16 17:44:24 UTC

I chose three manifestoes or (mission) statements which relate to the ecologic agenda and to my topic, which is men's clothing and more specifically suits. Two brands are proposing their way of producing suits in a more sustainable way, which I found inspiring:
https://www.bravegentleman.com/about does this by replacing the woollen suit fabric by a recylced cotton-polyester blend.
http://fashion.telegraph.co.uk/news-features/TMG9340870/Marks-and-Spencer-launch-the-worlds-most-sustainable-suit.html Marks and Spencer works with organic wool and recyled polyester lining.
I have doubts about both options (from the perspective of the properties of the materials), but I think the experiments are very useful.
As a third manifesto, I want to include the Fashion Fast statement by the brand HonestBy, which is confronting and makes you think. It is based on an article published by Bloomberg about the problems of the wool recylcing market.

I chose the social and environmental agenda because I believe that they are the genesis of our industry and where the first engines are located.

I believe that we have a challenge and a responsibility as human beings to think without fear as to improve this reality and collaborate with the improvement of the rest of the agendas.

I have chosen to share Reformation's manifesto/mission as, even though they aren't luxury but high street, they have certainly thought of all 4 agenda's when creating their brand and continuing to think about it in their design process. I like that

they seem to be completely transparent to their consumer too. I think a lot of brands could learn a lot from Reformation! https://www.thereformation.com/pages/our-stuff

I love the Eileen Fisher manifesto. I see the brand as an example to follow. She is so simple and clear, as well as her designs. I respect these 3 manifestos I am linking because the words, ideas the brands share on them, you can clearly see them in the products, and in every visible action of the brands. There is no doubt or sign o incoherence or double intentions.www.eileenfisher.com/vision-2020/?_store=en&_from_store=defaulthttp://docena.net/es/http://textileartscenter.com/blog/textile-arts-center-manifesto/

Mission from Stella McCartney
‘We are committed to operating a modern and responsible business
We are agents of change. We challenge and push boundaries to make luxurious products in a way that is fit for the world we live in today and the future: beautiful and sustainable. No compromises.

We aim to improve the visibility of innovative textiles and materials for fashion with a reduced environmental impact. We support this endeavour with educational resources that consider impacts across the whole supply chain, in order to promote and facilitate more informed material selections.

From Pategonia

The quality of Patagonia depends, to a large degree, on whether we can reduce our impact on the environment. This means auditing the materials and methods we use to make our products, taking responsibility for the entire lifecycle of our products and examining how we use resources at our buildings and fac

1. Border & Fall. This 'incomplete' manifesto was released on Instagram over the period of 12 days. It is meant for India-specific manufacturing, however it's principles are thought-provoking. Makes me think about how I'm presenting my products. http://www.borderandfall.com/karigar/an-incomplete-manifesto-textile-garments-made-in-india
2. Spiber. ''We believe that the most rational way of turning happiness from a goal into a reality is by maximizing things which bring goodness to others, and minimizing those that do not.''' This company has a clear mission to change perceptions of materials. Similar to Bolt Threads who are collaborating with Stella McCartney (seen the Mylo bag?Amazing!).
3. Stella McCartney. https://www.stellamccartney.com/experience/us/sustainability/mission-statement/
''Beautiful and sustainable''. The video is evocative, incredibly modern and relevant. Stella McCartney speaks to the current luxuruy consumer in a language they can understand.
4. Mara Hoffman. https://www.marahoffman.com/world-of/our-approach/
''The aim is to design and manufacture our clothes with greater care and to reduce our impact, generate awareness, and ask you, our lovely customer, to join us in taking action and holding us accountable''.
This brand understands there is much to be done. They aren't 100% sustainable, but they are transparent

Thought Clothing:

veronika_burany — 2018-04-18 09:07:04 UTC

I like how they represent gentle respect for both the clothes they make and every part of the process, considering not only the environmental but also the social impact of their company.

"Creating Thoughtful Clothing alone isn’t enough. We value doing the right thing and want to feel good about everything we touch. That means we work ethically. From the fabrics we use, to how we design and make and deliver our garments. We think about every impact our business has. And it’s with the greater aim of minimising our environmental footprint.

We’re also proud supporters of slow fashion, which is why we design clothing intended to last. We hope the contemporary, easy-to-wear pieces will become your favourites.

The clothes we love wearing most will last longer with good care. Which is why we created our mantra. “Wear me, love me, mend me, pass me on.” It’s a reminder to look after what we own. Feel free to make this motto yours, too."

I feel as though this manifesto is an inspiration as it could help to fuel others into researching into ways to literally build the ecological nature of the garment into its core.

3. NUNO
With sustainability at the heart of Nuno’s production values Nuno uses traditional techniques and recycled materials, re-interpreted with cutting edge technology for contemporary life.

At Nuno, textiles are our language, our inspiration, our aspiration. Textiles tell our story.
When we create our textiles, nature and tradition are woven with technology.
When we see our textiles, a moment of the future is glimpsed.
When we touch our textiles, they breathe and we feel at ease.
When we listen to the language of textiles, the message is beautiful.

Max Ehrmann's Desiderata.... Go placidly amid the noise and haste,and remember what peace there may be in silence.As far as possible without surrenderbe on good terms with all persons.Speak your truth quietly and clearly;and listen to others,even the dull and the ignorant;they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons,they are vexations to the spirit.If you compare yourself with others,you may become vain and bitter;for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble;it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.Exercise caution in your business affairs;for the world is full of trickery.But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;many persons strive for high ideals;and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself.Especially, do not feign affection.Neither be cynical about love;for in the face of all aridity and disenchantmentit is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years,gracefully surrendering the things of youth.Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.Beyond a wholesome discipline,be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe,no less than the trees and the stars;you have a right to be here.And whether or not it is clear to you,no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God,whatever you conceive Him to be,and whatever your labors and aspirations,in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,it is still a beautiful world.Be cheerful.Strive to be happy. Max Ehrmann, Desiderata, Copyright 1952.

We believe that answers to our most vexing problems can be found in nature. Every day we’re inspired by the amazing materials we work with, and driven by the desire to turn these materials into incredible products.

We are a venture backed, idea driven company, led by world-class scientific and engineering talent, as well as experienced executives from the technology and apparel industries.

First, we changed your accessories. Soon, we'll change your whole wardrobe.

https://boltthreads.com/about-us/

Our future runs on diverse and fresh perspectives

cliou1122 — 2018-04-18 20:11:34 UTC

adidas has always been a global village. We’re proud of our German heritage, but the truth is we’ve been an international company from the very start. Our headquarters in Herzogenaurach, Germany, is home to employees of 80 nationalities. When you walk through the halls, you hear voices in German and English, but also Spanish, Hindi and Cantonese. It’s a testament to Adi Dassler’s dedication to sport, and its ability to transcend traditional boundaries like language, skin colour and national borders. True to this spirit, we’ve always assembled a talented workforce from far and wide and rallied them around a common goal: through sport, we have the power to change lives.

Sport strengthens bodies, builds self-confidence, connects people and improves lives in thousands of other very real ways. To harness its remarkable power for good, we need to continue to foster a culture of creativity and innovation that can deliver on sport’s incredible potential.

An absolutely essential piece of the puzzle is the understanding that you simply can’t have innovation without diversity. The level of innovation in any organization is in direct proportion to the diversity of its people. Diversity provides a steady stream of new ideas, fresh perspectives and contrary points of view that are the lifeblood of innovation. As part of adidas since 1997, I’ve seen firsthand the innovation that can happen when you get a diverse group of people into one room to take risks, think creatively and solve a problem together.

At adidas we hold ourselves to a culture defined by collaboration, confidence and creativity. These “three Cs” differentiate us from our competitors and provide a road map to help guide future generations. It’s what makes adidas an amazing place to work, grow and create.

There are many facets to diversity. Parity and equality across them all is essential in creating the ideal culture. As a senior female leader, I am keenly aware of the need to address issues around gender parity within the workplace. It is important that both genders have equal opportunities to contribute and succeed. As you can see in the chart below, adidas has an even ratio of female to male employees. However, as of today less than 30% of senior roles are held by women. That will change. Together with our CEO Kasper Rorsted we are committed to a more gender-balanced leadership.

We also support employees of all ages and life stages. We’re living in a global culture of plurality where all perspectives are valid. There are times when the fresh perspective of a younger employee is vital to the well-being of the organization, and there are times when the wisdom that comes from lived experience proves invaluable as well. It takes a village.

We are intensely proud of the progress we’ve made creating a diverse and inclusive culture at adidas. But there is always more work to be done. Our goal is an adidas where every single person feels welcome. We believe in equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, age, abilities, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity or religion. We hold ourselves to the same high standard for all our workplaces around the world, without exception.

Diversity and inclusion is crucial to innovation within our companies. But it’s also about something greater than advances in sport or business: It’s about giving people the power to be their true selves in all areas of their lives, including their work. Because people who are able to be their true selves are able to share their true gifts with the world.

cliou1122 — 2018-04-18 20:20:15 UTC

LVMH and its Maisons have always viewed preserving the environment not as an obligation, but as an imperative. The design and manufacture of luxury goods require innovation, creativity and flawless execution, and environmental performance is integral to every stage in this process.

25 YEARS OF GREEN HISTORY

LVMH Maisons have grown and thrived thanks to a long-term perspective and patience. Their products, crafted from natural raw materials that are often rare and exceptional, embody our quest for perfection, sustainability and transmission of savoir-faire. This long-term vision dictates respect for nature, which plays an integral role in the success of LVMH. The strong conviction that we must proactively apply our energies led to the creation of the LVMH Environment Department 25 years ago.

The Environmental Charter signed by Bernard Arnault in 2001 defines the Group’s goals and strategy:

Aim for a high level of environmental performance;
Foster a collective commitment;
Control environmental risks;
Design high-quality products by integrating environmental innovation and creativity;
Pursue commitments beyond the company.

Slow Fashion and going Back To Basics!

ellalewis_apparel — 2018-04-18 21:17:45 UTC

I believe the fast fashion industry is getting out of hand. Everyone is trying to keep up with the demand for new on trend collections, which makes the industry and workers in it extremely busy and somewhat stressed.
I believe if the industry and pressures of fashion were slowed down then there for one should be less consumption and therefore less waste.
I also want to 'go back to basics', by using the most natural fabrics and techniques, which would be more ethical and in my opinion more aesthetically timeless, which helps with the slow fashion ideology.

Biome is based in Kolkata India. I very much admire the direction Biome is taking! Biome project is a surrender.We have no goal, mission, vision.We simply love NatureWe realize that Nature is our mother that nourishes usWe value purity of natural resources and waterWe value authentic natural dyeingWe want to find sources from where pure textile flowsWe will share them with everyone who uses/makes/wears clothesWe will document, publish and share what we findWe think that the choice of clothing we wear can expand our senses, Manifest our connections and grow in our consciousnessWe will explore reconnections to aesthetics and beautyWe will bring together motivated designers & artists to use this mediumWe begin in love.How does it continue is never the question to askAnd the end…?Well, that’s where we began.Will you walk for a bit with us? Will you show us the way?Will you host us on our journey? Will you love Nature with us? There was no individual’ ever in the history of life. There was and will be ‘us’ ‘Biome Team’ and ‘Community in the making’ invites you to be a guiding light on our trail to search, document, publish, share, communicate and connect two ends of the spectrum of natural dyes in textiles.The natural dyer to the maker, maker to user, the user to Nature. the dyer, user and nature are three entities that we see as three points of a triangle that we want to form through reconnections. Natural Dyer:Since everything starts at the source, we want to take up the project to travel to places where authentic non polluting natural dyeing is happening and document it, interview the module, workers, test the water, environment, test the dyes, connect to the intentional personality and find out their challenges and gaps. This information would be converted to a module that will be shared with designers and buying houses of fabrics that see natural dyed fabrics as just another fabric. However we know that the language is a unique one and needs to be communicated with ease and clarity.The sources will be chosen on the criteria of their being open to share and make such fabrics available and affordable. This is not a theoretical or intellectual or research exercise. This is finding live wires and connecting them to the light up the minds of anyone and everyone who wants to know. User:The user is of two kinds for us. It can be a designer, a fashion house, a company dedicated to sustainability, an individual, artist who want to use natural colours/dyes in their work and have not been able to do so because of gaps in understanding or finding right sources. We understand that this user is driven by fashion trends, forecasts, market dynamics and consumer demand. However we also realise that this person has freedom to exercise what he /she will use as a medium, and the creativity to turn it into an aesthetic.The other is the user who buys/wears clothing. This is the person that makes a choice to endorse a certain kind of clothing and fashion and drives the designer to a certain extent. However this user also being driven by media, films, fashion, peers, society and knowledge of what he/she understands about clothes. Life is such that basic things like food and clothes are always taken for granted. However what If this user knows that he/she can make an informed choice, that he/she can make a difference in the canvas of pollution and environmental degradation. NatureThis entity is hardly acknowledged amidst our small and big issues and problems. We are getting busier by the day, getting locked in our little screens and individual fragmented lives. However many of us are also re-connecting our umbilical chord connection with Nature, re-imagining our future, unlearning in the present, taking a detour, living a sustainable life and so on. Hence to bring Nature into the forefront, setting up gentle connecting sessions, encounters and initiation for anyone who is willing. We would want to take up awareness sessions/ workshops/ artistic collaborations in cities we cross or come across while documenting the source. The idea is to do this completely with the community help and support. Along with this, we would brainstorm and work out a unique marketing, branding and communication tool book that can be used by any sustainable company or individual to reach out to people. Who will support and nourish the Project?One who is intelligent, understands basic common sense that we must take care of what sustains us. What do we need from you?Your valuable insight, advice, criticism, know-how, people connections, joining the dots to charge our project with life. Once you accept our invitation and comment on the concept note, we will ask you for specific help along the trail. This project work is what it is worth. We have no inclination to register this into an organisation or company. The idea is NOT FOR PROFIT. It must be sustained and nourished with love from people in any way they can. We ask for help as and when we need. We keep making this family stronger. We do not decide how big or small it should be. We do not decide who is ethical, who is not. We find out if we document them. Factual, not emotional. There is no benefit anyone will derive from it's name or resources unless one wants to use the information to use it. There has to be some thought put into this part so that it is not useful beyond it's worth. However the beneficiaries will be natural dyers, companies, organisations, designers and textile houses that are making, selling or using natural dyes or natural dyed yarns, fabrics, garments etc. Do you have questions? Is it a yes? Our eyes are gleaming with excitement at this point!

Anti-Fashion: A Manifesto for the Next Decade | Li Edelkoort

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV3djdXfimI

Being cynical towards the current fashion market, Li second guesses marketing, communication and how external and internal agents work and view the industry are a starting point for change.

Example 2: Patagonia -http://www.patagonia.ca/company-info.html
"Build the best product, cause no unnecessary harm, use business to inspire and implement solutions to the environmental crisis." / "Staying true to our core values during thirty-plus years in business has helped us create a company we're proud to run and work for. And our focus on making the best products possible has brought us success in the marketplace."

I think this sums up a true sustainable culture, focusing in several agendas, but incorporating it in the company culture from the roots.

We, the signatories to this Manifesto, refuse to sit idly by in the face of another failure of governments to provide hope for a sustainable future for all. We announce our responsibility for undertaking actions, inviting and encourage similar actions and commitments by other rightsholders and stakeholders, communicating a vision for healthy communities, sustainable and equitable human well-being and its associated strategies. These would come together in the form of a global citizen’s movement to shepherd the transition to a sustainable, equitable, and democratic future, one in which ethics is both a right and a responsibility—at the level of the individual, the community and the planet.

For the moment, I choose the Manifesto from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation I found on their website from 2012: "In a world with growing pressures on resources and the environment, the EU has no choice but to go for the transition to a resource-efficient and ultimately regenerative circular economy (…) the European Resource Efficiency Platform is calling on business, labour and civil society leaders to support resource efficiency and the transformation to a circular economy and society now because this offers a path out of the current crisis towards a reindustrialisation of the European economy on the basis of resource-efficient growth that will last." The doughnut of social and planetary boundaries is the second manifesto I choose as it can be used by fashion businesses to assure that they fit within the social and planet limits.

Hello, my name is Fashion, Mode, Moda, Mote.

I’m a global presence, but I’m experienced differently by every

single one of you.

I help you express your identity, style, values, culture and mood.

I’ve been around for ages, but I haven’t been the same for two days

in a row. Times change and so do I.

This is me asking you to change your perception of me once again.

However, this time I’d like to ask you to not just think about what I

should be like today, but to keep in mind what you’ll want me to be

tomorrow as well.

Can you help me last a little bit longer?

I want to stay relevant, have a voice.

I want to be worn, and also re-used.

I want to be designed to last, for more than one season.

I want to be enjoyed by everyone without polluting our planet.

I want to be produced by people who are happy and proud of what

they make.

There is a big gap between sustainability and the fast fashion shopping pattern. The more sustainability, the greater the limited availability of products. For this, brands should deepen their marketing campaigns and the consumer become aware of their real purchase pattern.

Looking beautiful does not have to be at someone else's expense. Everyone is valuable.

We are in a society of collaboration. When we see a film we can read the names of everyone that participated on the making of the film. Why doesn’t happen that in fashion? We need to start giving credit to all the people that participated in the process of garment making.

Greenpeace has a manifesto for fashion which is really simple but it does agglomerates three important keys for reaching out in sustainability.

1. We believe that brands and suppliers must act immediately to stop poisoning waterways around the world with hazardous chemicals.

3. We believe in rewarding and collaborating with honest and progressive suppliers and brands, and will encourage others to do the same.

Kuwaii's Manifesto

2018-04-22 12:31:49 UTC

We are passionately opposed to the ‘churn’ model of fast fashion. Our entire approach is setup to be different: smaller, slower and more simple.

Despite having two retail stores, we keep our production runs very, very s
mall.
Volume and quality are intrinsically linked. Fast fashion brands typically produce huge volumes of low-quality garments, and demand unethically low prices from their makers.

Manifesto for slowsustainable designers by Fluad-Luke

Macarena_Barrera — 2018-04-22 21:08:44 UTC

A sustainable slow designer will design to:
1. satisfy real needs rather than transcient fashionable or marketdriven
needs.
2. reduce resource flows and environmental pollution by
minimizing the ecological footprint of products/service products.
3. harness solar income - sun, wind, water or sea power and
renewable materials
4. enable separation of components of products/service products
at the end-of-life in order to encourage recycling, reuse and
remanufacturing.
5. exclude the use of substances toxic or hazardous to human
and other forms of life at all stages of the product life cycle.
6. engender maximum benefits of well-being to the intended
audience
7. educate the client and the user by encouraging sustainable
literacy and graphicacy.
8. exclude innovation lethargy by re-examining original
assumptions behind existing products
9. dematerialise products into service products wherever there is
proven benefit in terms of indivdual, social and/or
environmental well-being
10. ensure physically, culturally, emotionally, mentally and
spiritually durable products
11. maximise products benefits to socio-cultural communities.
12. encourage modularity: to permit sequential purchases, as
needs and funds permit; to faciliate repair/reuse; to improve
functionality.
13. foster debate and challenge the status quo surrounding
existing products.
14. publish sustainable designs in the public domain for everyone’s
benefit, especially those designs which commerce will not
manufacture.
15. promote Design for Sustainability as an opportunity not a threat
to the status quo

Patagonia 1

ryan107 — 2018-04-23 09:38:47 UTC

Patagonia grew out of a small company that made tools for climbers. Alpinism remains at the heart of a worldwide business that still makes clothes for climbing – as well as for skiing, snowboarding, surfing, fly fishing, paddling and trail running. These are all silent sports. None require a motor; none deliver the cheers of a crowd. In each sport, reward comes in the form of hard-won grace and moments of connection between us and nature.

Our values reflect those of a business started by a band of climbers and surfers, and the minimalist style they promoted. The approach we take towards product design demonstrates a bias for simplicity and utility.

For us at Patagonia, a love of wild and beautiful places demands participation in the fight to save them, and to help reverse the steep decline in the overall environmental health of our planet. We donate our time, services and at least 1% of our sales to hundreds of grassroots environmental groups all over the world who work to help reverse the tide.

We know that our business activity – from lighting stores to dyeing shirts – creates pollution as a by-product. So we work steadily to reduce those harms. We use recycled polyester in many of our clothes and only organic, rather than pesticide-intensive, cotton.

Staying true to our core values during thirty-plus years in business has helped us create a company we're proud to run and work for. And our focus on making the best products possible has brought us success in the marketplace.

La Fabbrica Lenta

lapypol — 2018-04-23 19:34:10 UTC

I had the honor of working with this great people for 10 years. It's amazing what they've done to rewrite the history of italian design, of design indeed. This is their manifesto.

La Fabbrica Lenta rappresenta il manifesto contro la standardizzazione industriale e la produzione in serie a basso costo. In Bonotto, tutti i processi sono affidati a macchinari meccanici, non elettronici, privi di automatismi. Vecchi telai scartati e in disuso, appunto perché “lenti”. Si ritorna, dunque, al lusso dell’artigianalità, al lavoro delle mani e del savoir faire, che esprime al meglio l’heritage italiano intrinseco della campagna veneta, luogo di forte densità creativa e progettuale. La qualità di un tessuto torna ad essere sinonimo del tempo che si impiega per produrlo. La fabbrica non è più un luogo geografico di muri prefabbricati, ma rappresenta un territorio con le sue storie e memorie. Una visione moderna del lavoro e dell’impresa, unita ad antiche tecnologie e ad una sempre innovativa progettazione creativa. Tessuti, come quelli di un tempo, duraturi, che nascono da un rapporto uomo-macchina diverso e più naturale. Tessuti interiormente ed esteriormente ricchi e preziosi. Il rimando all’arte è costante e, in Bonotto, talmente forte da stravolgere i canoni convenzionali di organizzazione e processo produttivo. Per decenni la fabbrica ha ospitato innumerevoli artisti che hanno donato o realizzato appositamente alcune loro opere. Il movimento Fluxus, il cui più grande collezionista e mecenate in Italia è proprio Luigi II° Bonotto, impone nell’azienda, quasi involontariamente, logiche operative morbide, flessibili e fluttuanti, rendendo il lavoro prima processo culturale, poi business. Ciò che ne è scaturito, è oggi raccolto e tutelato sotto la Fondazione Bonotto, la cui sede resta saldamente collocata all’interno del grande sito produttivo di Molvena.

Exploring the manifesto

amylwarman — 2018-04-23 20:17:21 UTC

Patagonia and People Tree come to mind immediately but in an attempt to dig a bit deeper I’ve shared some others below. They aren’t so much manifestos in themselves but would definitely help inspire my own manifesto. The things that stood out to me were a commitment to society, community and environment, transparency and the recognition that there is always more to learn and improve when it comes to sustainability.

https://www.notjustalabel.com/designer/antithesis:

"Our multi-functional pieces aim at contributing to a new consumerism philosophy advocating quality over quantity. Antithesis is about choice. We seek to become the chosen brand for women ‘in the know’. Antithesis and the female consumer choose each other as we share a common perspective in believing the cost of consuming fashion should be offset to the benefit of society and the environment"

Not a fashion brand, but a B Corp and I think it’s just as applicable to a fashion manifesto http://www.cookfood.net/info/bcorp/:

"What unites us all is the belief that business success is about more than just profits. It’s about helping to create a society that enjoys shared and durable prosperity. A society with equality of opportunity; a healthy environment; strong communities; and work with dignity and purpose. Yes, it’s lofty and idealistic stuff. And we’re thrilled to be part of it.”

https://www.marahoffman.com/world-of/our-approach/:

“With time, we realized that we are always at the beginning - there is always something new to discover and a challenge to tackle. We will continue to set goals to achieve greater levels of sustainability. The aim is to design and manufacture our clothes with greater care and to reduce our impact, generate awareness, and ask you, our lovely customer, to join us in taking action and holding us accountable.”

+ 10 years ago, I discovered ANDREA CREWS in the WAD magazine. It was the first time I heard about eco-friendly fashion. I found her idea of repurposing existing clothing rather than making all-new stuff, absolutely brilliant. She is the precursor of UPCYCLING: http://www.andreacrews.com/deep/squelettes/about.pdf . Artist at the beginning, it came to her in playing with clothes and found in it an easy way to communicate, “Clothes are an ideal medium”, she said. This optimistic mix of multicultural artists collaborating with ANDREA CREWS reflects how a fashion brand can have an impact on many other fields of expressions and touch many people in this way.

We demand radical change. We are designers, producers, makers, workers and consumers, academics, writers, business leaders, retailers, trade unions and policy makers.

Manifesto One

anjumahbubani — 2018-04-26 11:56:30 UTC

Corporate Responsibility at TOMS® provides focus on the environmental and social impacts of our products and operations, responsible giving and employee life. We know that our customers will look to us for our accomplishments, which currently include:

We offer shoes with sustainable and vegan materials and are working to expand these offerings. These shoes include natural hemp, organic cotton, and/or recycled polyester and these materials are used on the upper, liner and/or the insole cover (instead of our standard suede insole). All of our shoe boxes are made from 80% recycled post-consumer waste and are printed with soy ink.

https://www.toms.co.uk/about-toms#corporateResponsibility

This speaks volumes as TOMS is a brand that is focused on GIVING. Consciously each decision throughout the business is with ethical and sustainable trading in mind.

Manifesto Two Upcycling the Oceans project (UTO) collects the trash that is destroying our oceans and turns it into top quality yarn to produce fabrics and products.ECOALF, through its foundation, has embarked upon its most ambitious project to date: Upcycling the Oceans, an unprecedented worldwide adventure that will help remove waste from the bottom of the oceans thanks to the support of the fishermen.A revolutionary project that aims to be replicated all over the world, whose main objective is to recover the trash that is destroying the sea and transform it into top quality yarn to produce fabrics and tailor clothes and accessories.UTO started in September 2015 in the Mediterranean Coast of Levante (Spain) currently expanding, and now replicating the project in Thailand.

This is the ground-breaking revolutionary work of ECOALF where positive efforts are being carried out to change the past. I heard of this company a year ago and it inspired me greatly that it has led me to take the journey that I am on today.

Nature and fashion

kkovatcheva — 2018-04-26 14:16:03 UTC

The late Alexander McQueen once said - "There is no better designer than nature".
This saying is also a manifesto - fashion needs to respect what nature has created. Fashion need not be detrimental to life, but embrace and if possible - embellish - the complex and beautiful system we all live in.

The meaning of style

kkovatcheva — 2018-04-26 14:25:27 UTC

One of the great revolutionaries in fashion, Gabrielle Chanel, was a woman of strong opinions.
she also gave great advice, and one of her infamous statements has always inspired my thinking about style, fashion, quality, consumerism.
Think before you buy.

Ecological Manifesto

silviaferraricarla — 2018-04-26 14:35:39 UTC

How the use of ecodesign could reduce the environmental
impact of a product – from the production processes and materials used to the end of life, including the potential recycling of the product itself. The question is: "The market is capable of rewarding second life
products?"

ANTI-FASHION: MANIFESTO FOR THE NEXT DECADE by Li Edelkort

leandraosullivan — 2018-04-26 16:52:35 UTC

A strong, well researched & most importantly, powerful manifesto from one of the world’s most respected Trend Forecasters. we must remember that many industry creatives also heard this presentation and since given this as a tool, what have we the industry creatives, down with it? This started my journey to view my role and my responsiibility going forth.. being part of change. http://www.edelkoort.com/2015/09/anti_fashion-manifesto/

Stella McCartney & Steve Jobs

2018-04-26 19:16:43 UTC

I wanted to include both a fashion and non-fashion name to show that the two are not too different. Every business, brand and person that embraces sustainability and growth as a part of their core values which is told through their manifesto all have the inherent meaning of protecting, caring and respecting the world so that we can live in a prosperous and healthy environment.

Stella McCartney- “We are agents of change. We challenge and push boundaries to make luxurious products in a way that is fit for the world we live in today and the future: beautiful and sustainable. No compromises.”

As an ongoing admirer of Stella McCartney I think her mission statement has a clear meaning of what she sets out to do for her brand. The first sentence ‘we are the agents of change’ is so powerful as it can be interpreted in so many ways but fundamentally means that it is up to us, as humans to make the change to start protecting the world.

Steve Jobs’ personal ethos was "To make a contribution to the world by making tools for the mind that advance humankind."

Steve Jobs was a pioneer of technological innovation. His manifesto proposes that he wanted to do his part to make the world a better place with the use of tools to better us as a species so that one day we could be the best versions of ourselves.

To me, both manifestos are so powerful as they build upon the ideas of doing something now to benefit the future.

Economic Agenda

lety_bosisio — 2018-04-26 22:08:56 UTC

Manifesto n.1
Reducing costs in the fashion supply chain is most of the times cause of bad habits by the companies. They cut costs withouts reducing wastes in the production.

Economic Agenda

lety_bosisio — 2018-04-26 22:12:42 UTC

Manifesto n.2
Circular economy can help companies in reducing wastes while cutting costs. They will be able to grow and make profits in a sustainable way.

Economic Agenda

lety_bosisio — 2018-04-26 22:15:56 UTC

Manifesto n.3
Paul Smith once said:" you can find inspiration in everything. If you can't, then you're not looking properly."
I believe that this statement can be applied also to the sustainability issue in fashion. As a matter of fact, companies should and can find alternative ways to grow, make profits and reach their target goals without such a negative impact on their surroundings.

#1 Social Manifesto

juanitazpage — 2018-04-27 05:18:40 UTC

“To me, sustainability is being mindful. First and foremost, it is about making and growing something in an ethical and sustainable manner, or recycling and reusing if not. I also want to make sure that everyone in the production chain is being rewarded fairly for what they do, without being exploited.” — Gosia Piatek, Founder & Creative Director of Kowtow.

The second part of this statement directly relates to the Agenda I had chosen, however, I resonate with the full statement. I am so blessed to live in the country I do and have access to the opportunities available to me here. Because of this, I have come to expect a certain standard when it comes to how I am treated in the workplace, and I don't sit and say nothing when I don't agree with questionable standards. So why wouldn't I expect/facilitate the same for those in the production chain? I have to, I must keep looking for ways to make this happen and be a normal practise in this industry.

#2 Social Manifesto

juanitazpage — 2018-04-27 05:22:01 UTC

"Fair Trade is a clear step forward in bettering the system – because when we know better, we do better" Dave Rastovich, Patagonia employee

How can we know what we do now, and continue to keep doing the same practices? Most people would be like Dave – we find ways to do better, especially when it means it directly affects those who aren't able to 'do better' themselves

Cultural Agenda

rutheshave — 2018-04-27 08:55:19 UTC

1. Fashion Revolution Manifesto - because it sets out an agenda for a restorative fashion industry.
2. The Holstee Manfesto - an iconic statement about what it means to share your passion with others and live life with kindness and drive
3. The Fluxus Manifesto - I find this challenging and revolutionary as a statement about what art is and what it means to connect ideas, so wanted to include it (even through I can't practically apply it to my life and culture has moved on).

Social Agenda

2018-04-27 16:57:52 UTC

I find this very fitting to how Mahatma Gandhi said this way before our time and the impact of fashion industry now has on mankind. How can we be happy wearing finest of clothes or even cheaper one's when people are living in hunger, unsafe environments, poor health conditions, poor education system and most importantly no fair wages. We must dig deeper to bring change and bring it now!!!

Economic agenda

maryfionamcleod — 2018-04-28 08:35:24 UTC

Two companies that spring to mind:
The Kernel. Staff satisfaction. Roles are rotated. Manifesto is based on quality of product not sales growth.

Rigby and Peller. Their belief that it is better to own 2 good quality /fitting bras rather than a drawer full of ok ones.

Ecological Agenda

simrun36 — 2018-04-28 14:36:38 UTC

Forest Manifesto
Oskar Metsavaht's spring 2016 collection reflected a true combination of human and nature collectiveness, along with cultural appreciation and the preservation of natural and raw materials.

The collection showcased a deeper understanding behind the beauty and aesthetics of the Ashaninka tribe and their oneness with nature.

This manifesto fits in with both the social and ecological agenda as it responds to unfair corporate profit within industry and environmental impact of production process and management of natural resources.

Cultural Agenda: 2016 H&M

sabino_capossela80 — 2018-04-30 10:27:17 UTC

The manifesto I chose is the video of the 2016 H&M “Recycle Week” campaign featuring M.I.A. The campaign was set to inspire customers to recycle their old or unwanted clothes. During the Recycle Week H&M aimed to collect unwanted or worn out garments from customers worldwide. The initiative was part of the company to apply the circular economy criteria of closing the loop for textiles: to avoid waste and use unwanted clothes as resources for new products.

The video is extremely impactful, depicting people from different parts of the world, all concerned for the climate change and committed to make something good.

According to me the video and the song lyrics perfectly summarize the cultural agenda: how people should feel they are part of the solution.

The video starts with an interview claiming “We must set the world on a new course, (...) the environmental problem is real”. The interview continues “We are all part of the solution to climate change, We can't wait for someone else to take action. There are things we can all start doing, together we can make a big difference ”.

The involvement and the commitment are the core messages which are emphasized by the lyrics.

M.I.A. continuously repeats “regenerate” and “re-wear”. These two key words support the message and empower the video viewers making them feel part of the solution. M.I.A. goes on singing: “Victory is necessary, (…) So what if I want a world to gleam? Part of the team, you're part of the theme, If you want change, then you gotta go in”.

The manifesto is supported by the images, the dance moves, the colors, the beat, M.I.A. herself. The message is delivered, the manifesto is effective, it is powerful.

END CHILD LABOR

ninnak — 2018-04-30 12:38:54 UTC

Another sector of the fashion industry that deserves more attention and resources is child labor. Child labour affects hundreds of millions of children worldwide and the consumption of fast fashion is one main reason for its existence. While you're reading this, over 218 million children are hard at work — 73 million of those are working in hazardous conditions that "directly endangers their health, safety, and moral development.
We must put more pressure and create awareness especially with the younger generations that are huge consumers of fast fashion. It is often not that people dont care, it is out of circumstance and lack of knowledge that people turn to fast fashion. If the millennials and younger generations are more informed especially through effective social media campaigns and influencer marketing then I believe there can be a whole generation of change makers that require to know that their clothing is not made by children! are sustainable and do not harm any other human rights.

I request a free child free labor certificate on all clothing.

STOP CHILD LABOR I

While you're reading this, over 218 million children are hard at work — 73 million of those are working in hazardous conditions that "directly endangers their health, safety, and moral development.
We must put more pressure and create awareness about Child labor. As a mother it breaks my heart to think that all children in the world are most likely wearing clothing that other children have made. These children have no access and opportunities to go to school, play or surroundings where they can grow safely and free.
We must protect children and put more pressure on fashion companies to stop child labor and modern day slavery!

I request full transparence and a child free labor certificate on all clothing.

Manifestos

alexback — 2018-05-01 11:20:09 UTC

The main manifestos that speak to me are First Things First by Ken Garland (1964) and Manifesto For a Fashion Revolution by Fashion Revolution.
Each targets marketing and consumerism, which links to the cultural agenda that I focused on and the latter expands on these, but also takes into account ecological impacts and the effect that this industry has upon others around the world.
Another important manifesto that again exemplifies the negative consequences of marketing and consumerism, but from a fashion design perspective, is Anti_fashion by Lidewij Edelkoort (2015).
Here, I agree that without innovation in design fashion continues but becomes hollow and 'dead'. If fashion is driven by sales and marketing, the industry and the talents involved in the processes end up being sold as pointless items like Ken Garland describes.
In my opinion, a return to design does need to take place, perhaps even with more fashion being showcased, rather than existing as something we can all 'have'.

Lotto

tessamoroder — 2018-05-03 20:03:46 UTC

When we started our business we wrote the following manifesto for our exhibition space:

Lottozero / textile laboratories is an international center for research, experimentation and networking in textile art, culture and design. It’s based in Prato, Italy.

Lottozero includes laboratories, a shared studio, a design office and a Kunsthalle. Its spaces are an open territory, where sharing techniques and knowledge in the textile field is encouraged on an international level. New collaborative ideas are born every day and individual projects are enabled by using common resources.

Inside Lottozero is the exhibition that marks the opening of Lottozero / textile laboratories’ spaces to the public. This is the beginning of a journey of progress, which is receptive and open to different voices, significant viewpoints related to textiles and aims to encourage multiculturalism and the intersection of disciplines.

The objective of the Kunsthalle Lottozero is to give space to artistic positions driven by an original and acute thought, thus placing itself as an independent entity and vessel for a wide range of visions. The Kunsthalle will periodically present the results of research and experiments developed by the artists and designers who work at Lottozero / textile laboratories.

Lottozero assumes responsibility for its own critical point of view, which is autonomous and independent of the established art, design and fashion system. Uninterested in fitting into commonplace categories and definitions, Lottozero is free to look for and use new words and languages to investigate unexplored territories.

By encouraging open discussion and questioning preset values Lottozero hopes to develop ideas that can project into the future and that have an effective power of transformation and impact on reality.

When I hear/read them I feel inspired and empowered. They make me feel hopeful and that to provoke change is possible. They matter because their main focus is on people's happiness and on beauty and armony. They talk about connection, not profit and loss.

Draft manifesto (economic

annaefarquharson — 2018-05-07 11:06:03 UTC

FACT:
In a world where demand for an unbounded variety of cheap clothes has become the norm, the fashion industry has come to rely on cheap materials, poor production practices and cheap labour. Changing this status quo depends upon the industry beginning to recognise and account for its true social and environmental cost.
VALUES:
What we choose to wear can be seen as an open representation of our values. At the heart of my sustainability manifesto is an objective to enable consumers to make better purchasing decisions that align with the values of transparency, thoughtfulness and respect for nature.
VISION:
For me, living a good life depends on respecting the nature that we so rely on. My vision is to ‘re-make’ the way we do business to make sustainable (environmental) and ethical (social/cultural) practices the norm. A world where businesses can be highly successful without harming the environment or disadvantaging the lives of the people working throughout the supply chain.
COMMITMENT / CHANGE:
In order to make real and lasting changes, companies need to understand the ‘true cost’ of their businesses. The best model I have found for achieving this type of change is the B-Corp movement, which sees companies embed social and environmental goals alongside commercial objectives. These companies commit to meeting “rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency” - using the power of their business for good.

“A choice architect has the responsibility for organizing the context in which people make decisions.” ― Richard H. Thaler, Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness

cy9 — 2018-05-08 02:28:51 UTC

I chose this quote because I believe that my advocacy is to help people make better choices through their fashion purchases. The problem with fashion today is not that people don't want to choose sustainable/ethical, but that it is prohibitively unaffordable . Why is it unaffordable? Because supply chains are optimised for the old way of doing business. So I'm aiming to re engineer how a fashion supply chain looks, and create better choices for consumers so that they can make the right choices that are better for our world and society.

Manifestos

Lafontaine7 — 2018-05-08 05:12:15 UTC

Both of these manifestos touch me particularly because they not only set goals to move towards a more responsible practice but also recognise that, by being a part of the industry and existing within the system, they are part of the problem. This gives their manifestos depth and builds trust between them and consumers, which I feel motivates the general public to support and engage with their missions.

She devotes so much time to sharing ideas and visions of how we can live in a more caring and trash free world! #yayforearth

The latest collection of Croatian brand Price on Request

nives_bosnjak — 2018-05-09 02:21:37 UTC

The latest collection of Croatian brand Price on Request is a project of reshaping and repurposing garments from the 30 year old archive of Croatia’s most successful brand Xenia Design. The result is this powerful collection that is not just sustainable or environmentally friendly but it is a great indicator of how Croatian fashion has changed after its golden period in the 60’s and sends a strong message about how it can still grow and be relevant after its big defeat after the war that we had in the 90’s.

Graduate collection “EX-Vonia” by designer Damir Begović

nives_bosnjak — 2018-05-09 02:48:43 UTC

This powerful collection just brought Damir Begović the iD International Emerging Designer Award. It’s his comment on the current negative climate present in our native Croatia, especially in the region of Slavonia where he comes from, where people are fed up with unemployment and are moving mostly to Ireland and Germany in search of better life. Throughout the collection he uses old techniques and traditional elements borrowed from Slavonian folk costumes and confronts them with Western shapes such as Dior’s New Look. This collection makes me a bit sad because I know people have lost hope that it will ever get better in our country but it also makes me angry and awakens this need to make things better. Designers like Damir Begović and Gala Vrbanić from Price on Request give me hope

because I know that educated creative minds working together can make a change and I’m doing my best to be a part of it too.

Patagonia: Don't buy This Jacket

berezek — 2018-05-15 01:57:03 UTC

I believe this is a massive manifesto which tells people NOT TO BUY a jacket from Patagonia on the most important commercial day for retailers. Nobody expects this kind of message, it’s a genius way to alert that we really don’t need most of the things we are going to buy and start thinking about WHY we make such buying decisions.

Anti Fashion Manifesto

2018-05-15 03:04:58 UTC

https://www.businessoffashion.com/articles/voices/li-edelkoort-anti-fashion-manifesto-fashion-is-old-fashioned
As I focus on the cultural agenda of sustainable fashion, I am further made aware of societies issue with materialism and our shopping habits. Fashion is not immune. People are over buying, and fashion, whether it’s fast or luxury, has a rough impact on the environment. This manifesto discusses the pressure to produce more and more fashion lines and pieces to keep up with consumer desires.

Manifestos

2018-05-15 09:19:59 UTC

I focus on the environmental agenda.
I choose this two manifesto because the fist one, is the manifesto from the italian Ministry of the environment and "Camera della Moda". I think is very important that two political institution underline the importance of sustainability on fashion. I really love point 9 and 10 of Manifesto for the sustainability
in Italian Fashion because they point the importance of the conunication of this thought.
https://www.cameramoda.it/media/pdf/manifesto_sostenibilita_en.pdf

The second poster I've uploaded comes from a phrase by the philosopher Feuerbacch. The idea that guides him is clear. If we want to improve the spiritual conditions of a people, we must first of all improve their material conditions. Given that there exists for the philosopher an inseparable unity between the psyche and the body, it follows that to think better we must nourish ourselves better:
"Food theory is of great ethical and political importance. Food turns into blood, blood into heart and brain; in matters of thoughts and feelings. Human food is the foundation of culture and sentiment. If you want to improve the people, instead of declamations against sin, give them better nutrition. Man is what he eats ".
(The mystery of sacrifice or man is what he eats, 1862)
I believe that applying this phrase to the world of fashion is perfect at this moment in human history.

Sustainable Fashion Manifesto

2018-05-15 19:49:31 UTC

I chose the G Star Raw Manifesto because I think their goal of creating a circular denim brand is interesting and brave. They see sustainability as an exciting problem to be overcome using innovation. It reminds me to not loose hope and to see the failings of the fashion industry as windows of hope for change.

I chose these two Manifestos because they speak deeply to me and what I stand for in fashion, they're both from Fashionrevolution.com. 1. Fashion provides dignified work, from conception to creation to catwalk. It does not enslave, endanger, exploit, overwork, harass, abuse or discriminate against anyone. Fashion liberates worker and wearer and empowers everyone to stand up for their rights. 2. Fashion measures success by more than just sales and profits. Fashion places equal value on financial growth, human wellbeing and environmental sustainability.

The North Face and Innocent smoothies

2018-05-16 17:57:43 UTC

I watched the video for The North Face’s brand manifesto and it made me feel inspired. The tag line was never stop exploring and it was a video filled with adventure. The message to me was to put experience over objects, collecting moments, not things. This comes into conflict with the ideas of consumerism which is good for sustainability. Although you’re buying products, they are things that will last and help you to enjoy your most adventurous moments in life. I then found an image for innocent smoothies’ manifesto titled ‘being sustainable’. There was lots of green imagery to promote being eco-friendly, and a message saying ‘we sure aren’t perfect but we’re trying to do the right thing’ they have a message describing how they are really striving to be sustainable in the production of their smoothies, which is very positive.

MANIFESTO

mohammad_omar_aziz — 2018-05-18 23:32:53 UTC

I wanted to keep an open mind when researching different manifestos, making sure I had a well rounded perspective:

The first manifesto which struck a cord with me was the Communist Manifesto, not in terms of how it was/has been implemented and realized, but in the actual essence of the literature and belief of the original Marx-Engels Manifesto:

"Hitherto, every form of society has been based, as we have already seen, on the antagonism of oppressing and oppressed classes. But in order to oppress a class, certain conditions must be assured to it under which it can, at least, continue its slavish existence. The serf, in the period of serfdom, raised himself to membership in the commune, just as the petty bourgeois, under the yoke of the feudal absolutism, managed to develop into a bourgeois. The modern labourer, on the contrary, instead of rising with the process of industry, sinks deeper and deeper below the conditions of existence of his own class. He becomes a pauper, and pauperism develops more rapidly than population and wealth." - Karl Marx, Freidrich Engels, https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/communist-manifesto/ch01.htm

My second source is The National Garment Worker's Federation of Bangladesh's ission statement and unionization of workers is both awe-inspiring and gives me hope for the future of the labor force: We should never be afraid to come together collectively and voice our opinions for ethical treatment, equal pay, and security

"- Ensuring fair wages for the workers.

- Establish workers’ rights & Human rights.

- Ensure equal wages, equal rights & equal promotion for the women workers.

- Improve working condition & environment in workplace.

- Struggle to establish a democratic, developed & progressive society.

- Eliminate gender discrimination in workplace & society.

- Establish safe workplace in all RMG factories." https://ngwfbd.com/mission-and-vision/

My third and final example is of Edun's mission statement and manifesto. I wholeheartedly believe in their approach towards sustainability in and out of the industry, and their facilitation of empowerment, growth, education and self-sufficiency in the global south as a whole:

"From its inception, EDUN’s mission has been to source sustainable production and encourage trade in Africa by mixing its creative vision with the richness and positivity of this fast-growing continent.

Our Mission.

EDUN is building long-term growth opportunities by working with artisans, manufacturers and community-based initiatives to develop high-end designer products that celebrate and challenge ethical and sustainable fashion.

EDUN’s ready to wear and accessory collections are led by an internal creative collective based in New York. The collective works closely with different partners throughout the African continent and some international mills who are exploring new eco alternatives." https://edun.com/pages/mission

MANIFESTO

In relation to my chosen agenda, Economic, I tried to find manifestos from fashion businesses that expand the way we look at costs and accounting, to include people and environmental costs. I love the brand, The Reformation, for how it is re-shaping the idea of quarterly and annual reports, by sharing a quarterly sustainability report with its customers. Not only does this report consider costs in a different manner using their ‘RefScale’ (which includes costs in terms of Carbon Dioxide emissions, gallons of water used and pounds of waste generated), but it has adopted a transparent approach by communicating this information regularly to its customers. I was unable to find a traditional manifesto outlining overarching core values, however I feel this section of the website, detailing how their values are reflected in so many areas of the business but communicated in a concise way, is also very impactful. https://www.thereformation.com/pages/sustainable-practices Adidas are one sports brand that has really committed to becoming a sustainable business. This 2016 Sustainability Report outlines the brand’s sustainability manifesto for now until 2020 in the first few pages of the report, generally split between ‘People’ and ‘Product’, then broken down by 3 statements for each, with tangible actions underneath each statement. I like the bold design that reflects the targets and ambitions, along with the hefty inclusion of percentage stats and mention of how each target is relevant to Adidas, the world and its people. https://www.adidas-group.com/media/filer_public/08/7b/087bf055-d8d1-43e3-8adc-7672f2760d9b/2016_adidas_sustainability_progress_report.pdf Finally I wanted to include Maiyet’s ‘Our Story’, which communicates the company’s ‘Philosophy’ and approach to ‘Sustainable Luxury’. The company’s focus on empowering skilled craftspeople across the globe is hugely relevant to the future economic system that businesses need to adhere to. They are committed to “protect out planet’s resources whilst taking pride in craftsmanship, service and design.” This reminded me a lot of John Ruskin’s ‘The Nature of Gothic’ and Kent Klitgaard’s ‘The Struggle for Meaningful Work’- “In a sustainable society, work should be as meaningful as well as steady and productive. Meaningful work allows people to unite their heads, their hands, and their hearts. People should have a say in the design of what they make or do, a variety of challenging tasks, and the opportunity for self-direction. Unfortunately, the logic of capital accumulation has created work that is much the opposite—routine, without mental exercise, let alone purpose or joy—all in the name of producing more goods and services at ever-lower cost.”https://maiyet.com/pages/our-story

I chose the ecological agenda. I believe that preserving the environment through sustainable practices involves activities such as the use of sustainable and local materials, activities such as valuing the workforce as a quality of life, an activity such as communicating the sustainable idea through final product. Because of this I chose as manifesto, a brand of Brazilian luxury fashion: Ronaldo Fraga; a Brazilian organization: Instituto E; and an input supplier: Aquafil.

Instituto E is an OSCIP - Civil Society Organization of Public Interest, which uses an alternative and multimedia language to channel the energy of society and direct it to the defense of our biodiversity, the right to information and education and heritage historical and cultural history of Brazil. The e-Institute has emerged from the e-brigade, a movement of environmental activism that transforms concepts into attitudes. His work focuses on the areas that make up the ideas of the six "and" s: earth, environment, energy, education, empowerment and economics.

http://institutoe.org.br/

Ronaldo Fraga, is a great Brazilian designer who tells stories in his collections, which end up as manifestos, because it involves stories of social inclusion, local memory, culture, environmental disasters. And in this storytelling he develops innovative pieces that involve the valuation of local labor and fashion as communication and transformation tool.

https://www.instagram.com/fragaronaldo/?hl=pt-br

Aquafil is a synthetic fibers industry and a pioneer in quality, innovation and sustainability. It holds the Regeneration System. ECONYL® is the most efficient industrial system in the world for the production of Nylon 6 from 100% regenerated waste materials such as fishing nets, scrap nets and other Nylon 6 production.

The Ecorealist Manifesto

sarah_holbrook2 — 2018-05-28 21:20:38 UTC

https://www.theatlantic.com/past/docs/unbound/prauth/easter/manifest.htm
desucoF

A bold approach to life.

| Gregg Easterbrook
From A Moment on the Earth
(Penguin Books, 1995)

Chapter Thirty-Four:
The Ecorealist Manifesto

IN the first section of this book the goal was to consider environmental problems from the perspective of nature: a long-term, almost mythic purview of existence, yet one with relevance to daily ecological challenges that confront humanity.The second section considered environmental problems from the perspective of women and men alive today: a short-term perspective, yet one that can be adjusted to incorporate the wisdom embodied in eons of natural transitions.The final section will suggest how the long-term purview of nature might be combined with the short-term insights of genus Homo in ways that allow people, machines, and nature to learn to work together for each other's mutual benefit.Before broaching that final topic let's summarize the principles of a new view of ecological thought, the new view called ecorealism. The founding concept of ecorealism is this: Logic, not sentiment, best serves the interests of nature.If the worthy inclinations of environmentalism are to be transformed from an ephemeral late-twentieth-century political fashion to a lasting component of human thought, the ecological impulse must become grounded in rationality. The straightforward, rational case for the environment will prove more durable than the fiercest doomsday emotion. Love nature? Learn science and speak logic. Many lesser creatures will thank you.And now some principles of ecorealism:
RATIONALISM
If ecological rationalism sometimes shows that environmental problems are not as bad as expected, that means warnings will be all the more persuasive when genuine problems are found.Graduation from overstatement will make the environmental movement stronger, not weaker.The worst thing the environmental movement could become is another absentminded interest group stumbling along toward preconceived ends regardless of what the evidence suggests.Skeptical debate is good for the environmental movement. The public need not to be brainwashed into believing in ecological protection, since a clean environment is in everyone's interest. Thus the environmental movement must learn to entertain skeptical debate in a reasoned manner or will discredit itself, as all close-minded political movements eventually discredit themselves.Market forces and cost-benefit thinking aren't perfect but generally will be good for the environment. This is so if only because society may be able to afford several cost-effective conservation initiatives for the price of one poorly conceived program.Optimism not only flows from a reasoned reading of natural history, it will be an effective political tool.
POLLUTION
In the Western world the Age of Pollution is nearly over. Almost every pollution issue will be solved within the lifetimes of readers of this book.In the West many forms of pollution have begun to decline in the very period that environmental doctrine has declared them growing worse.Most recoveries from pollution will happen faster than even optimists project.Weapons aside, technology is not growing more dangerous and wasteful. It grows cleaner and more resource-efficient.Clean technology will be the successor to high technology. Most brute-force systems of material production will be supplanted by production based mainly on knowledge. Nature's creatures make extremely sophisticated "products" with hardly any input of energy or resources. People will learn to do the same.Sometimes approximated environmental rules are good ideas even if the result is a less than perfect cleanup. Better to realize 90 percent of an ecological restoration fast than to spend decades conducting lawsuits on how to achieve 100 percent.As positive as trends are in the First World, they are negative in the Third. One reason the West must shake off instant doomsday thinking about the United States and Western Europe is so that resources can be diverted to ecological protection in the developing world.
CHANGE
It is pointless for men and women to debate what the "correct" reality for nature might have been before people arrived on the scene. There has never been and can never be any fixed, correct environmental reality. There are only moments on the Earth, moments that may be good or bad.Every environment and habitat comes into existence fated to end. This is not sad. It should inspire women and men to seek to prolong moments on the Earth, through conservation.All environmental errors are reversible save one: extinction. Therefore the prevention of extinctions is a priority.Though humanity may today be a cause of species extinction, in a very short time by nature's standards it can become an agent for species preservation.
PEOPLE
People may not sit above animals and plants in any metaphysical sense, but clearly are superior in their placement in the natural order. Decent material conditions must be provided for all of the former before there can be long-term assurance of protection for the latter.Either humanity was created by a higher power, in which case it is absurd for environmental dogma to consider the human role in nature to be bad; or humanity rose to its position through purely natural processes, in which case it is absurd for environmental dogma to consider the human role in nature to be bad.However the deed was done, once genus Homo was called forth into being, the wholly spontaneous ordering of the environment ended. And unless there is an extinction of intellect, wholly spontaneous nature will never return. Nature is not diminished by this. A fairly straightforward reading of natural history suggests that evolution spent 3.8 billion years working assiduously to bring about the demise of the wholly spontaneous order, via the creation of intellect.In principle the human population is no enemy of nature. Someday that population may be many times larger than at present, without ecological harm. But the world of the present knows more people than current social institutions and technical knowledge can support at an adequate material standard. Thus short-term global population stabilization is desperately required, though the prospect of dramatic long-term expansion of the human population should not be discounted.
NATURE
Nature is not ending, nor is human damage to the environment "unprecedented." Nature has repelled forces of a magnitude many times greater than the worst human malfeasance.Nature is not ponderously slow. It's just old. Old and slow are quite different concepts. That the living world can adjust with surprising alacrity is the reason nature has been able to get old. Most natural recoveries from ecological duress happen with amazing speed.Significant human tampering with the environment has been in progress for at least ten millennia and perhaps longer. If nature has been interacting with genus Homo for thousands of years, then the living things that made it to the present day may be ones whose genetic treasury renders them best suited to resist human mischief. This does not insure any creature will continue to survive any clash with humankind. It does make survival more likely than doomsday orthodoxy asserts.If nature's adjustment to the human presence began thousands of years ago, perhaps it will soon be complete. Far from reeling helplessly before a human onslaught, nature may be on the verge of reasserting itself.Nature still rules much more of the Earth than does genus Homo. To the statistical majority of nature's creatures the arrival of men and women goes unnoticed.To people the distinction between artificial and natural means a great deal. To nature it means nothing at all.The fundamental force of nature is not amoral struggle between hunter and hunted. Most living things center their existence on cooperation and coexistence, the sort of behavior women and men should emulate. This is one reason nature will soon be viewed again in the way it was by the thinkers of the eighteenth-century Enlightenment -- as a trove of wisdom and an exemplar for society.
WHERE D0 WE FIT IN?
Nature, limited by spontaneous interactions among elements randomly disturbed, may have an upper-bound limit on its potential to foster life and to evolve. Yet nature appears to enjoy fostering life and evolving. So perhaps nature hoped to acquire new sets of abilities, such as action by design.Therefore maybe nature needs us.

I like how strong this statement is ‘we demand radical revolutionary change’ every brand should be this strong with their statements. It then goes on to say ‘this is our dream’ and writes it in 10 steps which is easy to read and gets the point across.

Vivienne Westwood’s active resistance manifesto

They is great how it demonstrates how there is a problem and then gives a solution. It is written as a scene from a play which is great to read and shows others opinions.

Big picture manifestos

libchis — 2018-05-29 17:32:00 UTC

There are three manifestos that come to mind that really resonate with me and the cultural agenda:

The Quantum Redesign of Fashion

https://vimeo.com/213509002

Li Edelkoort’s Anti-Fashion Manifesto

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV3djdXfimI

Childish Gambino’s video for “This is America”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYOjWnS4cMY

The first video really captures positivity and interconnection within our industry. If we lift one piece of the web, everything attached to it is improved.

The second video is a speech given by a trend expert. She is acknowledging our flawed industry and the needs to slow down.

The Childish Gambino song is an excellent reflection on racism, police brutality and inequality underpinning our culture which certain people and groups try to brush aside or divert our attention.

What we are using?

ches290 — 2018-05-29 23:53:24 UTC

Design this image because you ask me what we are using?
and what are the consequences of what we buy.

I think it is part of our job to improve all environmental and labor aspects because as consumers we have to take responsibility for what we are buying and know that what we are buying is damaging our planet in all aspects both in climate change and humanitarian equality that's why NOW OR NEVER

NOT EVERYTHING GOES

In the world of fashion for many years they have had to find ways of more profitable business, due to the emergence of more competitors and "parasites" living in the renowned brands with fakes. These circumstances, together with other economic factors, led to the opening of new markets in countries with cheap labour. All strategies of costs were and have been a good tool for luxury companies and factories in these countries, but they did not see the consequences that these business decisions would have an impact on all areas of the human being.

From being related in the world, have influence, stand out over others by bear certain signatures, into ways of living, generating clear segmentation of social classes.

The emergence of imitations of major firms has been an element that fired its popularity, but at the same time, the "mark" was losing value. These forgeries, most perfect, generated "other" shadow industry that competed fiercely cheapest prices, giving the possibility to any citizen of a particular brand, clothing was in fashion, fashion accessories, watches, perfumes...

Everything led us to neglect the most valuable thing we have human beings; Nature, the desire to generate quantities at lower cost introduced, without a stringent control, the chemical industry which has been a great advance, badly used has prejudices in our environment, in our environment, in our workers.

The laws were adapting to the realities and finally the environmental and socio-cultural conflicts that were emerging.

Increasingly it looks bad to a brand that uses factories that have case workers in State of exploitation, using minors in its preparation or manufacturing, to use certain chemicals that pollute...

There is a change of culture that gives value to the sustainability, processes, and luxury brands were which better have embedded this speech since they reaffirm their brand value and position themselves socially in the minds of consumers as references.

I have attached different pages where reveals itself to summarize the above and the consequences.

Manifestos examples

macalgorta — 2018-06-01 15:37:35 UTC

My three examples of manifestos according to the agenda I choose (cultural) will be:
1) https://vimeo.com/213509002
2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaGp5_Sfbss
3) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV3djdXfimI
I think a good way to make a manifesto is making a clip, a film, a documentary, making it visual as this way will have more impact, engagement with your audience and I think will be more enjoyable.
I think this three examples match cultural agenda vision as they talk about our planetary boundaries, equal rights, sweatshops and changing habits.

c_i_m — 2018-06-02 14:18:11 UTC

I chose these three videos and this image because they represent the idea that I have of sustainability, and how the cultural agenda involves other agendas.
We must question ourselves if we really need more things, or that things have more value. In this sense, I believe that technology is fundamental for scaling up good ideas and researching materials and techniques. Change the way you consume, to change the way you produce and vice versa. Fall in love and make people fall in love with the positive impact of sustainable products.
For society to change its consumerist mentality, it must know. Information and transparency are essential to understand and choose textile sustainability.

My three examples of cultural manifestos are:
1) The true cost https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaGp5_Sfbss
2)Talk by Gema Gomez, director of Slow Fashion Next https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krUMjxKV5nc
3) GCU The Quantum Redesign of Fashion https://vimeo.com/213509002

4) 53% of buyers in the United Kingdom and 78% of those in the United States say they feel better when they buy products that are produced sustainably. Source: Unilever.

Natalia Kratsmar-Smogrovicova, Manifesto examples

natalia_kratsmar_smogrovicova — 2018-06-08 19:59:20 UTC

I chose those examples for my cultural agenda, because it shoes how it involves the other agendas and especially reflects the western world. We can change the way we consume, buy things and influence those around us, any change in our life can inspire others, education and positivity is way more effective than preaching "our truth", which reflects that transparency and information on a larger scale and within the fashion industry can create great impact in our social environment.

i chose above three examples for social agenda. They are quite inspiring and motivating.

For the cultural agenda:

Some examples which are very inspiring for me in case of the cultural agenda. This projects are not really related to fashion but I guess if it is about inspiration or fighting for common values , it doesn't matter at all.

1-https://www.thereformation.com/pages/sustainable-practices
The reformation has been an inspiration for me since i've known them, they have built a bridge between sustainable and conscious fashion and todays style needs.
2-http://trashisfortossers.com/about-lauren/

I love lauren for basically the same reasons as the latter, she has found a way of normalizing the new found attitude of being a conscious consumer while adapting to contemporary lifestyles.

Examples of manifestos - S. Hime

2018-06-18 14:55:19 UTC

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation was established in 2010 with the aim of accelerating the transition to the circular economy. The system diagram is from the website https://www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/circular-economy/interactive-diagram

I particularly like the focus on one main agenda for the foundation.

IEMA also has really good campaign on plastic that I would also consider a good example of a manifesto

Ecological agenda

sannedollen — 2018-06-28 14:00:44 UTC

1. Common Objective
Common Objective is a network of fashion industry professional thriving to build businesses that achieve both financial, environmental and social success. Common Objective deploys matching technology to connect members with the skills and resources they need to fulfil their sustainability goals.

https://www.commonobjective.co/

2. Enschede Textielstad

Enschede Textielstad is an industrial weaving mill in Enschede. We produce fashion and interior fabrics with recycled and locally sourced yarns.

https://en.enschedetextielstad.nl/

3. Patagonia Worn Wear
One of the most responsible things we can do as a company is to make high-quality stuff that lasts for years and can be repaired, so you don’t have to buy more of it.

The Worn Wear program celebrates the stories we wear, keeps your gear in action longer and provides an easy way to recycle Patagonia garments when they’re beyond repair.

Sustainability manifesto

2018-08-30 17:06:17 UTC

Stella's Manifesto is here is one of her core values in the company - a perfect example of sustainable luxury fashion.

Social Manifesto

2018-09-16 01:27:05 UTC

I chose this manifesto because it questions the production models of the textile sector, currently one of the most polluting. Also, become aware of the real cost of creating a garment. They also talk about extending the life of a garment or recycling. And finally, independent professionals who work in an artisan way, thus avoiding mass production.

Exploring the manifesto - ECOLOGICAL AGENDA

fashionwriter — 2018-09-20 15:09:45 UTC

In relation to my chosen agenda y found these 3 example interesting:

1.- Active Resistance, because Vivienne Westwood has beed always coherent with her proposal, and she has inspired me since long time ago:

http://activeresistance.co.uk/getalife/Manifesto_ENGLISH.pdf

2.- The Green Manifesto: For the many not the few* For the planet not for profit

By David Shoebridge Greens MP, because it shows many facets of the stone:

https://www.greensmanifesto.org/s/180316-Manifesto.pdf
3.- The Leap Manifesto, this manifesto is a request from Canada, and for me its a good example to follow even though it has a lot of criticisms because it is supposed to have little information detailing how to transition to a green economy:

Exploring the Manifesto

2018-11-15 09:36:05 UTC

The only Manifesto with which I feel connected is this one: The Fashion Revolution Manifesto. I particularly like this manifesto because it includes all the stakeholders of the fashion industry and its system as a whole. https://www.fashionrevolution.org/manifesto/

by Luna Mazzolini

I am more interested in the environmental side of the ethical and sustainable fashion and strongly believe that we have to make changes to the industry supply chain practices. However, I must admit that the most powerful manifesto these years is the WHO MADE YOUR CLOTHES campaign from Fashion Revolution. All of us working in Fashion now by now the importance and the urgency of making the industry more sustainable, but with targeting the consumers, a whole new perception and awareness has been raised. Lately, people seem to understand better the issues that fast fashion is causing to the workers and the planet and seem to be shopping less and more responsibly, or at least are curious to know where the items they are buying come from/what they are made of. Hopefully this will help making the necessary changes.

Exploring a cultural manifesto

alicedate01 — 2019-01-08 04:33:49 UTC

The Fashion Revolution manifesto embodies the cultural agenda as it addresses that everyone is in fact part of the revolution. It uses the ‘we’ subject to speak inclusively to everyone at once; ‘we are designers, producers, consumers’, ‘we are the industry and the public’, ‘we are global citizens’, ‘we are you’. The fashion industry can sometimes feel like a closed circle to outsiders. It is important that all people understand they have the power to impact the industry in their own way. This manifesto implores everyone reading it that they are included in the Fashion Revolution community and therefore the things it stands for. It is bold, simple and powerful. There are 10 ‘dreams’ outlined, the one which speaks to me is ‘fashion measures success by more than just sales and profits’. The industry at the moment is far too focused on growth and shaming the companies that do not experience it. It is absurd to need billion dollar companies to exponentially increase in order to be ‘successful’. All the statements are strong and resonate with me.
https://www.fashionrevolution.org/manifesto/

Li

2019-01-15 18:30:40 UTC

It covers various aspects of fashion industry , but what really resonates with with my thoughts is that she talks about social impact of garment manufacturing we dont pay the real value for the garments this way underpaying for labour and resources. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV3djdXfimI

MANIFESTO

bmaccormik — 2019-02-18 13:27:10 UTC

In relation to the Cultural Agenda, Eileen Fisher and The Phluid Project manifestos are examples that speak to me. Both companies emphasize integrity, empowerment and change within the fashion industry. Both are redefining fashion expectations and responsibilities.

2019-09-21 00:12:19 UTC

My three favourite manifestos

f_nenna0320161 — 2019-10-10 13:33:27 UTC

1. Li Edelkoort, Anti Fashion Manifesto.
I find this manifesto especially inspiring because she not only made a beautiful statement which is progressive and sustainable. She also used her current powerful position as a trend forecaster to shuffle the fashion industry from the inside out.
It could have been a risk for her to accuse the very people that pays her salary but the quality and timely fashion she delivered has produced one of the most influencing manifesto of contemporary fashion.

https://www.businessoffashion.com/articles/voices/video-li-edelkoort-reads-her-anti-fashion-manifesto

2. Fashion Revolution.
This cleverly and strikingly designed manifesto takes inspiration non the less than the most famous of all manifestos; the ten commandments from the Christian religion.
It covers a wide range of fashion issues and it is very concise.

https://www.fashionrevolution.org/manifesto/

3. Walter Gropius, Manifesto of the Staatliches Bauhaus.
His vision of a necessity to a come back to craft and the closed relationship with designed was first conceived in 1919 HUNDRED YEARS AGO!!! if only we would have listened and developed his ideas, design wouldn't have been so detached from the materiality of things neither from the elements of nature that provide us the resources to make the object we today consume. The quality of objects would have stayed higher and the general public understanding of "consuming" different.

A manifesto on the ecological Agenda

2019-12-14 18:58:35 UTC

1) Extinction Rebellion's demands: https://rebellion.earth/the-truth/demands/. I believe this to be a very very powerful manifesto as it really calls out for action and draws attention to a very pertinent issue - the climate emergency and loss of biodiversity, which we are facing today.

https://responsibility.pvh.com/

2020-03-16 15:19:08 UTC

This video from PVH is, as I see it, moving a lot closer to where the industry should be. It's a real reflection on the industry as a whole. The voiceover talks about the progression the brand wants to take tackling the real issues of the international workforce and how to ensure the people who they source from are treated justly; the environmental impacts of the industry and understood and mitigated; the urgent need for a more circular lifecycle for products although it doesn't talk about that being at the design stage, and all from a an easy to understand rhetoric. To me, this feels progressive and sounds like a brand who is thinking about the problems and how they can tackle them to become a future-fit business. The Kering video in comparison just looks pretty.

2020-03-31 16:58:29 UTC

2020-03-31 17:01:30 UTC

to/

I have chosen Ecological manifestos of Inditex Group and H&M Group. I feel that if these powerful companies compromise to work towards sustainability will have a great impact in the industry, and also will help small companies to get on board. https://www.inditex.com/en/our-commitment-to-the-environment/closing-the-loop Inditex commits to not send anything to landfills by 2020, with the program 'Closing the Loop' the close you bring back to the stores is giving a second life in non-profit organizations stores or sent to recycling plants. https://about.hm.com/en/sustainability/vision-and-strategy/sustainability-strategy.html H&M commits to change to a fully circular and sustainable fashion, with its 'Sustainability strategy' will by 2030 use all 100% recycled.

ECONOMIC AGENDA - MANIFESTO

caarangox — 2020-06-03 15:26:26 UTC

I choose to explore the economic agenda because economy is the reason many companies, regardless of their size and reach, don't want to transition to more sustainable practices.

These are the manifestos I found and felt more attracted to:

1. THE COPEHNHAGEN MANIFESTO ON SUSTANABLE GROWTH

https://www.oecd.org/cfe/leed/49040773.pdf

This is a very short version of it. Very powerful and large scaled.

2. The Alliance for the Circular Economy
for an innovative and sustainable development

Includes different industries such as fashion, biochemicals, energy and others.

CULTURUL AGENDA -

2020-06-30 12:05:04 UTC

I have chosen three manifestos from different organisations that are all striving for a better world.

1) GLASTONBURY GREEN PLEDGE -
https://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/information/green-glastonbury/

Whilst this is not specific to fashion, Glastonbury is such an influential festival and I think it's great that they're setting the bar high for other festivals. So many people with different views & experiences will visit Glastonbury so it's an opportunity to educate a wide audience to create a more eco-friendly mindset.

2) MIH JEANS MANIFESTO -
https://www.mih-jeans.com/sustainability-manifesto

Denim causes a big strain on our environment and the way that we shop for jeans needs to change. MIH is a relatively small company and I think it's impressive that they're not shying away from the big issues the fashion industry faces.

3) EXTINCTION REBELLION'S 3 DEMANDS -
https://rebellion.earth/the-truth/demands/

This is a great example of how keeping something short & simple can be effective. Extinction Rebellion tackle so many of the problems humans have created and they work hard to create simple, easy to understood material that can be used to educate.
