Beschreibung

A rare and stunning behind-the-scenes glimpse into the beautiful world of ethical manufacturing that explores the art of the craft while promoting sustainable, responsible and ethical practices within the industry. Modern-day fashion and society tell us that cheaper is better. But what if the narrative could be told differently? Would you cherish the clothes and accessories that you wear with a greater respect if you knew the makers behind those products by name? Ethical fashion is not just kind, fair and functional, but it is alive, mystic, creative and it lives through the hands that contribute to every detail of each piece. Dive into this visually captivating and inspiring conversation piece that sheds light on the calloused and trained hands, the creative minds, and the diverse craftsmanship abilities behind the consciously made products you proudly wear and love every day. Get ready to feel something. This coffee table book will leave you feeling changed for the better and encouraged to take action toward curating a slower, more conscious plus empowering shopping lifestyle and wardrobe in your own life. It features thought-provoking and educational context surrounding sustainable manufacturing practices, interviews with a few of the most experienced, interesting makers in the industry and breathtaking photography that intimately studies a world so rarely captured and revealed. Welcome to the artful world of ethical fashion manufacturing.

Hayley Besheer Santell lives and works in the heart of America - Kansas City, Missouri - with her husband, red doberman and a cat named kitten. She has been a practicing artist - specializing in watercolor, acrylic, oil, graphic design and fashion design - for over fifteen years, with dual degrees in Fine Arts and Journalism from the University of Missouri and continuing education from Florence University of the Arts. In 2013, she launched MADI Apparel - an ethical basics brand focused on making a difference in every element by paying living wages, sourcing eco-conscious fabrics and donating a pair of biodegradable underwear to women for every item sold. Her work as a conscious designer and MADI Apparel's ethical production processes have been featured in Forbes, Huff Post, BBC News, Nylon, Men's Journal, Brides, The Knot, Washington Post, Causeartist, Imagine5 and more. Today, Santell continues to marry her passions for sustainable art and fashion. She recently launched Slow Motion Goods - a shop for conscious consumers - where all products are either used, reclaimed and slowly given a second life or ethically-made and produced by MADI Apparel. Santell leads sustainable (re)painting workshops and offers consulting programming plus soon a series of "how to" books for entrepreneurs wanting to launch or evolve their own line of ethical fashion or art.
