Ideas for design briefs, Fashioning an Ethical Industry and Abbie Price

In Ideas for Design Briefs we bring you five short ideas for design briefs from Fashioning an Ethical Industry and Abbie Price from R. A.J. E, UK. The assignment ideas are based on designing for fair trade producers, designing a collection for a brand that promotes itself as ethical, and designing for different lead times. A range of ideas for approaching sustainability are also included, such as design for leasing, design for multiple-use and design based on producers' skills and capabilities.

This teaching activity has been taken from Parker, L. and Dickson, M.A. (2009) Sustainable Fashion: A Handbook for Educators, Bristol: Labour Behind the Label. Download the whole publication here.
