There are other books out there but they all focus on specific aspects of sustainability in fashion. I am looking for a wider, more theoretical approach and I feel this book will fill those needs. * Brenda Brandley, Lethbridge College, US *
The unique value lies in its combination of design and merchandising concepts. This integration of topics fills a gap in the teaching literature. The integrated discussion of topics is well done and aligns with my course because of the topics I cover, which include sustainable design, sourcing and social responsibility, and fair trade/trade policy. * Tasha Lewis, Cornell University, US *
The comprehensive view of sustainability covers more topics than previous books I have used. * Lori A. Faulkner, Ferris State University, US *
