Introduction
In 2023 the importance of purpose-driven design and de-growth will become ever-more apparent Make informed decisions to de-risk items and reduce costs byeliminating waste and excess production Balance function versatile end-usecomfort and durability with aesthetic value and longevity to create products thatperform and inspire
Play your part as an ambassador for change within social sustainability Educateyourself on cultural pattern references and regional cras to avoid culturalappropriation Decolonise the design process by working with artisan communitiesdesigners and local export houses resulting in meaningful partnerships wherecultural intellectual property is respected labour is equitable and support isreceived at individual and community level
Keep circularity front of mind Reintegrate waste materials via recycled yarns andsolid material developments or use cutting waste and deadstock fabrics for fibre-based details
Transparency will be a key pillar within sustainable development ndash imperative foreverything from sourcing to consumer perception Ahead of communicatingprogress with consumers ensure third-party verified certifications and evidence-based information is in place to maintain consumer trust
