Earlier this month, Two Pedals Publishing releases their book and other related materials titled “Guide to Green Fabrics, Eco-Friendly Textiles for Fashion and Interior Design.” The book is aimed to provide information and reference on eco-fiber for textiles professionals, design teachers and students, fashion and interior designers, product manufacturers and even hobbyists who are interested in green textiles. The book which has 178 pages in full color is priced at $40.
Isobel Davies, one of the featured designers in Guide to Green Fabrics and owner of Izzy Lane Ltd., says, “Fashion dictates, it is high-profile and it talks to the next generation- our future. We cannot continue to pollute the earth, our seas, destroy wildlife habitats, use up our finite natural resources and imagine there will be no consequences. The fashion industry need an internal revolution to adopt a philosophy of respect and sustainability. It shouldn’t be a reflection of the ills of today but a reflection of how things should be tomorrow.”
Aside from being a reference guide to eco-fabric development, guide to Green Fabrics also contain information on how green fabrics impact the environment, its contribution to global sustainability, recycling efforts made to green fabrics and its impact to our health. It also provides materials on the characteristics of organic, sustainable and recycled fibers, care methods for different types of organic textiles such as bamboo, organic cotton, hemp and many others, as well as their design application for apparel, medical, home decor, automotive and technical industries. It contains comprehensive data that are still not available on other reference guides for ecological fabrics and textiles for designers.
The book also comes with products that can be accessed through guidetogreenfabrics.com including Teaching Companion, Presentation Series, Student Workbook and Chapter Reports.
This comprehensive guide is available in softcover and e-book format.
