This article critically examines the indicators used to measure the economic development of thefashion industry and discusses the role of fashion designers in questioning the values associated with theseindicators. Research suggests that technical improvements and new design methodologies such as circularity, zero-waste, and clothing recycling are not sufficient to achieve sustainable development, and that the inequality, labour exploitation, and natural resource depletion that are evident throughout the fashion industry need to beaddressed on a systemic basis (Costanza, 2020; Dixon-Declève et al., 2020). By examining the values manifest inthe artisanal practices of hemp producer communities in Iwashima, Tochigi, and Tsukigase in Japan, thisarticle shows that concepts such as decentralised production, resilience, and cultural memory can providealternative models for developing sustainable fashion practices (Fletcher, 2014; Williams, 2018). Furthermore,knowledge exchange between fashion designers and artisans can help to change the economic paradigm thatis preventing us from achieving sustainable development. Fashion designers can also play a fundamental rolein realising these goals by focusing on the intangible values manifest in the relations between producers, products, consumers, and the environment., 研究論文, Research Paper}, pages = {46--58}, title = {持続可能なファッションに向けたデザイン実践 : 日本のヘンプ物質文化の再発見}, volume = {52}, year = {2021} }
