The 21st Century so far has seen a rise and multiplicity of big and small initiatives with proposals to address the problematics of the globally working fashion and textile industries, which for a long time neglected all awareness acting in a very linear way from product to waste with mostly taking on little responsibility. The focus on new textile and fashion thinking, researching and making is internationally working its way out from increasingly local starting points to question, influence and change industry.
