Design and Responsible Consumption

Sustainable Clothing: clothing designed as a cycle

Questioning
How to reduce consumption and thus production of new textiles in clothing while satisfying the usual needs and desires related to this consumption?
Can we combine need for renewal, appropriation of clothing and non-consumerist attitude?
Which tools propose to these people who wants to consume clothing in a responsible way?


Objectives
Creation of a system (produced and service) socially responsible and economically viable allowing the people having chosen to consume in a way conscious and responsible of getting dressed according to their desires while respecting their convictions.
To contribute thus, by proposing alternative solutions with the existing models, to reduce pollution related to the overproduction of clothing.

Voluntary simplicity ??

Voluntary Simplicity is a lifestyle consisting in voluntarily reducing our dependence to the tangible properties. More precisely, it is a social movement, at base more individual than institutional, which proposes to each one to reduce its dependence to the money and the speed, to release from time for the community rather than to use it to earn more money, and to support the ecological and respectful behaviors of the company (...).
I chose to work with these persons because I think that this philosophy is a big step to responsible consumption (what I want to promote with my social design approach).
