Book Description
Bursting with vibrant imagery captured in unique virtual world environments, and the simple beauty of conventional photography and graphic artistry, WORLD INSIDE DESIGNER JEANS opens a whole new dimension--uninhibited insight--into the "real-world" American Literary Arts scene. It submerges audiences into a world of flirtatious fun...deeply intimate and overwhelmingly intense moments of emotional detachment, personal bondage (...yeah, that kind of bondage!) and spiritual enlightenment. It is a mystical and therapeutically thought-provoking combination of human experiences, coupled with the liberating sensation that comes from sharing those experiences out loud! (...poetry slam, anyone?) Exposing the bare-naked details found at the core of her own psyche and Inner-child spirit, PACO-MICHELLE's "Electronic-Poetry" entices readers to dig in and "Follow The Widow" on a virtual journey--a creative-spiritual path--to penetrating (...and clearing!) underlying ego constraints... overcoming traumatic experiences... rejuvenating creative energies...enjoying LIFE! Readers are able to reach to universal principals and lessons found at the core of Buddhism, the Tarot, Native American culture, and so many other practical belief systems (both ancient and contemporary) that acknowledge and embrace the eternal Cycle of Life; the essential connectedness between mind, body, spirit, and the journeys we embark upon during our time here in this world.

Book Description
Longlisted for the FT/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award A groundbreaking chronicle of the birth--and death--of a pair of jeans, that exposes the fractures in our global supply chains, and our relationships to each other, ourselves, and the planet Take a look at your favorite pair of jeans. Maybe you bought them on Amazon or the Gap; maybe the tag says "Made in Bangladesh" or "Made in Sri Lanka." But do you know where they really came from, how many thousands of miles they crossed, or the number of hands who picked, spun, wove, dyed, packaged, shipped, and sold them to get to you? The fashion industry operates with radical opacity, and it's only getting worse to disguise countless environmental and labor abuses. It epitomizes the ravages inherent in the global economy, and all in the name of ensuring that we keep buying more while thinking less about its real cost. In Unraveled, entrepreneur, researcher, and advocate Maxine Bédat follows the life of an American icon--a pair of jeans--to reveal what really happens to give us our clothes. We visit a Texas cotton farm figuring out how to thrive without relying on fertilizers that poison the earth. Inside dyeing and weaving factories in China, where chemicals that are banned in the West slosh on factory floors and drain into waterways used to irrigate local family farms. Sewing floors in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are crammed with women working for illegally low wages to produce garments as efficiently as machines. Back in America, our jeans get stowed, picked, and shipped out by Amazon warehouse workers pressed to be as quick as the robots primed to replace them. Finally, those jeans we had to have get sent to landfills--or, if they've been "donated," shipped back around the world to Africa, where they're sold for pennies in secondhand markets or buried and burned in mountains of garbage. A sprawling, deeply researched, and provocative tour-de-force, Unraveled is not just the story of a pair of pants, but also the story of our global economy and our role in it. Told with piercing insight and unprecedented reporting, Unraveled challenges us to use our relationship with our jeans--and all that we wear--to reclaim our central role as citizens to refashion a society in which all people can thrive and preserve the planet for generations to come.

Category : Clothing trade
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
At heart, this book aims to inspire fearless innovators committed to spearheading the future of fashion. It is for all of us looking to make a positive impact in an industry that we love and care about. It is increasingly acknowledged that the practice of design is not exclusive to designers, nor is it found only in studios. The materials, garments, services, shows, supply chains and stores that make up the fashion industry all work the way they do because of innumerable design decisions, made by creatives all over the world. Circular design goes far beyond rethinking single products or services, it has the potential to redefine how the entire fashion system operates. It's a chance for anyone in the fashion industry - regardless of job title - to support the shift to a circular economy where, by design, waste and pollution are eliminated, products and materials are circulated, and nature is regenerated. Circular design is a pioneering practice of design. It is the creative opportunity of the coming decade for the creatives, innovators, and pioneers who seek to reshape the fashion industry.
