Crafting Kuweni’s Legacy
Folklore, originating from the past, holds immense social and cultural significance, forging profound connections with communities’ roots. This study examines into the folklore of Kuweni in Sri Lanka, revealing its historical and geographical significance intertwined with myth. The story of Kuweni, a young native woman from diverse local communities, has spawned various place legends, with Thambappanni being particularly noteworthy in this folklo…
Taking responsibility for clothing circularity
This article examines how product stewardship (PS) and extended producer responsibility (EPR) schemes are being deployed around the world to promote a circular economy transition for fashion and textiles. A desktop analysis of initiatives in twelve jurisdictions across four continents was undertaken, and the lens of regulatory theory was used to categorize initiatives. The majority of PS initiatives are voluntary in nature and have a general bias…
The Native Princess of Sri Lanka
A cherished Sri Lankan tradition comprising tales from different regions, stories about Kuweni recount how Prince Vijaya from North India took power in Sri Lanka with the help of Kuweni, a native young woman. This study introduces a qualitative thematic metaphorical approach to analyze Kuweni's legend. The findings presented in "Kuweni's Folklore Characteristics Onion" offer a layered analysis that demonstrates the significance of symbols and met…
‘D’oh Brother Where Art Thou’
In the Odyssey, Homer’s Penelope and Circe have fundamentally important roles in ensuring the progression and success of the hero’s, Odysseus, journey home. Their actions in the Odyssey invite complex readings of the two women. Despite this, onscreen Penelope is often depicted as the “good, faithful” wife, and Circe as the “temptress”. Whilst these interpretations are not wrong, they are limited, cultivating a diminutive cultural understanding ab…
State of play in Australian sustainable fashion research
Australian fashion is emblematic of Global North countries with high levels of consumption and waste, dominated by high street fast fashion brands. It also has some unique characteristics as it is located in the Asia-Pacific region – the central production hub of garments – and is a leading producer of quality natural fibres such as cotton and wool. Despite this, Australia has a hollowed-out manufacturing sector that can provide minimal value add…
Assessing the self-regulation strategies and reflexive capacity of fashion companies’ anti-slavery tools
The Australian Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) is a disclosure regulation that seeks to encourage corporate self-reflection and subsequent self-regulation on the issue of modern slavery. However, fashion companies have an established history of self-regulating on labour exploitation, and critics argue that company actions often fail to acknowledge power asymmetries between themselves and their suppliers, or how business practices might foster labou…
Political investorism
This article establishes a new basis for examining the participation, mobilisation and impact of investors at a time when market-based activism for social change is rising in prominence. Existing terminology describing the expression of political values through investment decisions lacks conceptual clarity. Political participation by shareholders and other investors is variously described as shareholder activism or socially responsible investment…
Making sense of downstream labour risk in global value chains
While the efforts by actors on the buyer-side of value chains – such as brands and retailers – to address upstream labour abuses are well documented, there is a lack of research into how actors on the production-side of value chains – such as raw material producers – can identify and address downstream labour risks. This research presents the findings of an action research project that focused on the Australian cotton industry. By applying a sens…
Conceptualizing the Transnational Regulation of Plastics
This article categorizes and evaluates how regulatory regimes conceptualize plastics, and how such conceptualizations affect the production, consumption, and disposal of plastics. Taking a doctrinal and policy-oriented approach, it identifies four 'frames' - that is, four distinct and coherent sets of meanings attributed to plastics within transnational regulation - namely, plastics as waste to be managed; a material to be prevented; a good (or w…
Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man Discussing Narratives of Domestic Abuse and Gaslighting through the Cassandra Myth
Renowned for its hard-hitting exploration of gaslighting and domestic abuse, Leigh Whannell’s 2020 film The Invisible Man has inevitably been linked to the #MeToo movement. Despite the film’s contemporary premise, however, its narrative of male violence and female silencing is fundamentally rooted within classical literature and can be seen as an appropriation of the Cassandra myth. This article will be reviewing the continued relevance of the Ca…
Future fashion, biotechnology and the living world
As the urgency around the environmental impact of fashion production grows, biotechnologies that engineer microbes and other biological organisms such as plants offer cleaner, greener processes and entirely new products. Bacteria and yeasts may be engineered to colour fabric, generate synthetic fibre precursors, and produce enzymes used to break down and convert waste. Biotechnology can also present as a continuation of humanity’s mastery over th…
Independent fashion designers in the elusive fashion city
This article examines the cultural geography of fashion cities, focusing on independent fashion designers’ relationships with their city. Through discussing the Australian city of Brisbane and its place within the hierarchy of fashion cities, we examine the position of modern yet peripheral locations that have what we term an ‘elusive’ fashion identity. The discussion highlights the complexities that make a city a fashion city, specifically the i…

Illustrated throughout with infographics, photographs and diagrams of creative works, eighteen essays focus on six regions, examining sustainable fashion in the context of local, cultural and environmental concerns. Also included are 18 regional ‘Spotlight’ sections highlight…
The Fashion Designer’s Evolving Role in the Apparel Value Chain
In the South Asian Region, the Sri Lankan apparel industry is transitioning from apparel assembly to providing higher value-added product and services. Fashion designers are key actors in this transition. The purpose of this article is to examine the evolving role of the fashion designer in the Sri Lankan apparel industry. The study adopts a qualitative approach through semi-structured interviews conducted with twenty-eight fashion and product de…
The Poetics of Waste
This article traces several interwoven traditions of considering waste and its materiality within fashion practice. Waste in fashion is commonly considered a problem to be solved, whether through reduced consumption, improved production processes, or recycling and upcycling practices. While the pragmatic and effective “waste management” approaches are key to developing a sustainable fashion industry they can also distance and obscure the material…
Fashion Futuring in the Anthropocene
The Anthropocene describes our current geological era, in which human activity has grown to become a planetary force. Interest in “sustainable fashion” reflects the necessity to address the social and environmental ills of fashion. Yet thinking on sustainable fashion remains chiefly industry and user-focused, examining narrow questions regarding how industry may shift practices, or how users may engage with fashion differently—hence only tacitly …
The hard work of leisure
Since the 2000s activewear has grown as a fashion category, and the tropes of gym wear – leggings, leotards and block colours – have become fashionable attire for both men and women outside the gym. This article examines the rise of activewear in the context of an on-going dialogue between fashion and sport since the beginning of the twentieth century. Through an analysis of the Australian activewear label, Lorna Jane, we consider the fashionable…
Spinning a sustainable yarn
In the Australian fashion industry, few fashion brands have intervened in the design of their products or the systems around their product to tackle environmental pollution and waste. Instead, support of charities (whether social or environmental) has become conflated with sustainability in the eyes of the public. Thus it is difficult to assess with any accuracy fashion brands’ response to sustainability. This article aims to address this through…
The Life-cycle of the Fashion Garment and the Role of Australian Mass Market Designers
This paper uses the lens of life-cycle thinking to discuss recent developments in the Australian mass market fashion industry, and to explore the opportunities and barriers to implementing lifecycle thinking within mass market design processes. Life-cycle analysis is a quantitative tool used to assess the environmental impact of a material or product. However the underlying thinking of life-cycle analysis can also be employed more generally, enab…
