When most people think about eco-friendly fashion, their first thought is probably organic cotton or hemp. This book broadens the definition of eco-friendly fashion beyond materials into our relationships with clothing through use, care, and intimate connections. This study’s main objective was to re-think, or “re-fashion,” consumer interactions with clothing in order to cause less environmental harm while also meeting or exceeding consumer wants and needs. To achieve this objective, a list of eco-friendly apparel design goals was developed based on extensive research in clothing life cycle analysis, green consumer behavior, and innovative eco-friendly design approaches coupled with insight from interviews with eco-friendly design experts. As a result, five diverse eco-friendly apparel design collections were created and then evaluated by consumers based on appeal and ability to influence behavior. In addition, the design process inspired a new eco-design framework: the ERRor-Friendly Framework. This book’s review of research, collection of design goals, and new design framework could be adapted and expanded upon by eco-friendly minded designers and professionals in any field.
