ABOUT THE BOOK
Luxury fashion has made a significant contribution to sustainability by integrating somatic principles with ecological imperatives and ethical sourcing protocols. This research reveals the complex interplay between human flourishing and ecological health, highlighting the importance of body-centered interventions for trauma resolution. Luxury fashion’s role in sustainable consumption and collective well-being is re-conceptualized, transforming conventional views of luxury. This work offers a theoretically robust framework for examining embodied experiences and fostering reflection on the role of luxury fashion in cultivating a more sustainable and ethically conscious future.
This rigorously researched composition holds considerable significance for scholars, researchers, and practitioners across diverse disciplines, including fashion studies, somatic studies, movement studies, environmental philosophy, fashion theory, critical psychology, and sustainability science. It provides a framework for examining embodied experiences within the complex interplay of personal well-being, environmental stewardship, and the evolution of cultural values. By addressing these interconnected themes, the work not only enriches the academic discourse surrounding these critical issues but also fosters reflection on the role of luxury fashion in cultivating a more sustainable and ethically conscious future.
