Abstract Could the future of fashion be found in the past? As a result of the cumulative negative effects of over-consumption of fashion globally and the commensurate resource depletion this requires, as well as the sometimes catastrophic impacts on the laborers who make them, the accelerated pace of current fast fashion systems are now fundamentally unsustainable. There are however fashion producers who are putting sustainability at the forefront of their entrepreneurial ambitions and are focusing their formidable creative energies and expertise into incorporating re-use principles deeply into their design ethos, and developing no-harm, no-waste production models. Eileen Fisher and friends of light are both New York based garment manufacturers who are pioneering techniques that are in fact grounded within historical traditions: re-making garments and weaving to form respectively. This essay includes a description of the processes of these innovative design practitioners that was derived from site visits, and interviews with principles in both organizations and also includes a contextualization of the historical and philosophical antecedents of their respective operations. It also looks at the communication encoded in alternative paradigms of fashion production.

Lux Perpetua：利用历史先例作为时尚设计创新的未来先锋

摘要 时尚的未来能否在过去找到？由于全球时尚过度消费的累积负面影响和相应的资源枯竭，以及有时对制造它们的劳动者的灾难性影响，当前快速时尚系统的加速发展现在从根本上是不可持续的。然而，有些时尚生产商将可持续发展置于其创业抱负的最前沿，并将其强大的创造力和专业知识集中在将再利用原则深入融入其设计理念中，并开发无伤害、无浪费的生产模式。艾琳·费舍尔 (Eileen Fisher) 和光之友 (friend of light) 都是总部位于纽约的服装制造商，他们开创的技术实际上植根于历史传统：重新制作服装和编织分别形成。本文包括对这些创新设计从业者的流程的描述，这些流程源自实地考察和对两个组织的原则的采访，还包括他们各自运营的历史和哲学前因的背景化。它还着眼于在时尚生产的替代范式中编码的通信。
