In The Responsible Fashion Company, Rinaldi and Testa argue that the fashion industry is at a crossroads: the need for a global shift to a sustainable model has never been more urgent. Yet, they demonstrate that we are witnessing a revolution led by conscious consumers and enlightened companies, who are redefining the rules of the fashion market. The question is: when will the rest of the industry catch up? Rinaldi and Testa raise a fundamental but often neglected issue in the fashion sustainability debate: long-term equilibrium can only be achieved by integrating economic goals with environmental, social and ethical values. "The Responsible Fashion Company" provides a clear overview of the theory, challenges and opportunities of sustainability in the industry and demonstrates how fashion companies can achieve competitive advantage through sustainable innovation. The authors show how leading fashion companies are challenging traditional thinking and present inspiring examples from pioneers such as Gucci, Levi's, Timberland and Brunello Cucinelli, who create quality products without leaving a negative impact behind.Refreshing and timely, The Responsible Fashion Company is essential reading for the socially conscious consumer and anyone with a professional or personal interest in the fashion, design and luxury industries.

When we talk about circularity, we often focus only on environmental impact issues. Circular Fashion Management adds social and governance (ESG) to this approach, providing insight and helping to create a culture of circularity specific to the fashion industry. The ‘E’ of environmental is presented through the fight for textile waste resources and the focus on the path to net-zero fashion. The ‘S’ of social is described as the need to integrate social sustainability into circular fashion supply chains. The ‘G’ of governance for circularity is also presented in detail. The book’s holistic approach is complemented by chapters on traceability, regulations and policies for circular fashion, the need for better market surveillance of textile products and the dangerous role of greenwashing. Among the opportunities and challenges discussed, the need to include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), a key part of the industry, in this discussion becomes clear. Building on the work of the Monitor for Circular Fashion research observatory at SDA Bocconi, the book brings together 27 experts on traceability, sustainability and circularity in fashion to share their ideas, perspectives and tools with the aim of catalyzing change for a more sustainable future.

The book examines the indispensable factors for the launch and management of a new creative process: the authors provide truly effective tools between research & edutainment. The results of recent studies have in fact acknowledged the existence in people, institutions, and businesses of every size and sector, of a noticeable tendency towards changes in processes (of products and services). This publication aims to group together around a single concept, change for growth, the interests and goals of all those in Italy and in the world who have recognized that the adoption of new strategies is an incontrovertible need. This volume thus seeks to meet a challenge, that of rethinking and redesigning behavior, models, and attitudes; in a nutshell, the market approach of the sector and the Fashion System.
