Advances in Sewn Product Technology

About this book

The fashion industry continues to contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. It is one of the biggest polluters, one of the most wasteful of all global industries and is under increasing pressure to address unsustainable practice. Emerging out of the pandemic era the fashion industry is also responding to a variety of complex industry challenges such as high return rates, customer demand for better fitting apparel, faster fashion, the drive towards personalisation and greater transparency and sustainability across the value chain. These factors along with increasing labour costs are furthermore exerting force on the industry to embrace nearshoring and reshoring. Based on extensive primary research involving oral histories methodology with leading industry professionals involved in the innovation of technological and digital solutions for the fashion industry, this book presents the latest advances in sewn product technology which offer solutions to many of the fashion industry's current and emerging challenges whilst also informing how these developments are influencing fashion jobs of today and tomorrow. This book is therefore of value to fashion students, academics, researchers, and technicians as well as those working within the fashion industry involved in the design, development, manufacture, buying and retail of fashion apparel.

Features:

  • Provides a comprehensive insight into the latest advances in sewing machine technology including advanced automation and robotics used in the manufacture of fashion apparel
  • Provides a comprehensive insight into the latest industrial sewing threads and needles that can effectively support sustainable design practice
