Nature-Inspired Fashion: materials, techniques and creative processes

The environmental impacts attributable to the fashion industry drive towards a change of the current production and consumption model. Nature can no longer be regarded as a resource that can be exploited without restriction. It is necessary to move towards a fashion that respects nature and draws inspiration from it, adopting regenerative production models, biodegradable materials and circular models. In this direction, the contribution addresses the inspiration to nature in the fashion industry, through the analysis of experiments and case studies concerning both the use of bio-inspired materials and techniques, and aesthetic practices and creative processes.
