    If you wish to understand everything about sustainable, eco-friendly fashion in order to be able to make the best informed choices when buying: our book is made for you! It aims to bring a clear and factual reflection about the way we consume fashion nowadays, beginning with a brief historical background on the emergence of fashion as a sociological phenomenon and its progressive spread towards the general public. The following chapters will shed light on the different steps of textile production in order to encourage a fuller understanding of all the processes involved in the industry. The Guide also offers advice on how to better choose our clothes and fashion accessories in shops or online, some personal reflections on shopping as well as practical advice on creating and maintaining your own eco-responsible wardrobe. Throughout your reading you will discover testimonies from fashion and textile industry stakeholders that will illustrate our research through their experience in the field, their anecdotes and their actions to make the fashion industry more ecological, responsible and virtuous.

    Alice Lehoux and Natacha Ruiz met at ISTA, the fashion business school dedicated to fashion, textiles and leather, at the Alsace campus in 2008. After having spent two years at the ISTA each took a different path, one went to Asia whilst the other explored the United States. Along the course of their careers, something clicked making them both drastically change their way of consuming fashion. By the end of 2016 they met in Paris and shared their experiences from the exciting universe of sustainable and ethical fashion. From that exchange a new wish was born: to create this guide, the result of their complementary experiences that they have decided to share to encourage their readers to become actors for better fashion.

    A long time textile enthusiast, Alice’s great-grandparents worked in the linen industry in France and Belgium. She studied textile product management and after getting some experience as a social auditor she now works as a social conformity manager. Over the last 10 years, she has worked in the ready-to-wear industry as a product manager and a production manager, but also as a university teacher and has created her own ready-to-wear menswear brand in Asia. During her expat experience in Vietnam, she felt the need to go back to France in order to assist brands to find more sustainable methods that are entirely respectful of human beings and of the environment. In light of her experiences of the production conditions in the field she decided that it is time to act and that a radical change of business model in the textile industry is possible.
