Decades ago, this family-run business began with a single mission: to craft the finest cotton fabric for people across India and beyond. Word spread quickly as Sri Sakthi Textiles earned a reputation for quality and reliability, becoming the go-to source for cotton fabric in Erode.
As the business grew, so did their collection. The team introduced modal fabric, a soft and sustainable choice that quickly became a favorite among fashion designers looking for that unique blend of comfort and elegance. Soon after, they added linen fabric, perfect for those seeking a breathable, natural look that’s as stylish as it is timeless.

Fixed Signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius): A strong Fixed modality suggests an aesthetic that's stable and consistent. These individuals might lean towards classic pieces, enduring styles, and clothing that reflects their personal taste without necessarily following current trends.
Mutable Signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces): A dominant Mutable modality can result in a versatile and adaptable aesthetic. These individuals might enjoy mixing and matching styles, experimenting with various looks, and being open to a wide range of fashion influences.

A Lesson on Sympathetic Magic
{My post is cross-posted from The Cobalt Athenaeum aka my original post. You can find the server at the bottom of my pinned post.}
Always take my words with a grain of salt and do your own cross-referencing and research on a subject. Never take my words at face value. Self-study is important.
What is Sympathetic Magic?
“Sympathetic magic, also known as imitative magic, is a type of magic based on imitation or correspondence." - Wikipedia
Another example is
“Sympathetic magic is a magical modality that involves symbolically imitating the desired outcome. It may involve acting on a physical representation of a target or creating a physical representation of the outcome or recreating the desired outcome through motion and art. In this way, the practitioner might cause change at a distance in time or space.” - magickalspot.com
Sympathetic Magic Broken Down
Sympathetic Magic might sound difficult but I promise it is not. Let’s have a bit of a history lesson. Sir James George Frasier first outlined the underlying principles of sympathetic magic in his (1890-1915) book The Golden Bough (Ch 3). He explained that it was based on two basic principles which we now call the Law of Similarity and the Law of Contagion or Contact. There was also a book written by Richard Andree called Sympathy-Enchantment which was written in 1882. The idea of some form of sympathetic magic has existed since prehistory.
There has been talk of Ancient Egyptians using sympathetic magic within their rituals, from use of charms and amulets. We can see examples of sympathetic magic in Kemetic practices, some history is never forgotten.
It goes like this:
Principle - Explanation: Examples
Law of Similarity - “Like produces like”: Uses of a poppet to create a direct link to a target for healing, baneful work and other means
Law of Contagion - Objects or beings/things in contact retain a connection: Using a taglock (hair, nails, body fluids) in a spell to influence the target or as a representation of yourself
Law of Correspondence - Symbolic associations create connections: using for example a pink candle for self-love or a black candle for protection or baneful work. This would follow colour magic for theory
Law of Association - Linking two entities establishes a connection: Placing a photo of an ancestor on an ancestor altar or using a photo as a Taglock for a spell
Sympathetic Magic is the correspondence itself within witchcraft practice. It’s the main driving point behind a spell that uses materials. Without mastering sympathetic magic, your spells may not work as intended and may not have the power behind them that you so wish. Even materials in magic sometimes need a taglock of sorts for a spell to be as effective.
Law of Similarity
The Law of Similarity states that things that resemble each other have a connection on a metaphysical level. Examples include a poppet being used to represent an individual, either yourself or someone else. Its similarity to the target. This is what would drive the spellwork, as it would influence the target as intended. This is the basics of the law, the very base of representations in spellwork.
The Law of Contagion or Contact
The Law of Contagion states that things that were once in contact remain connected after separation and that whatever affects one can still affect the other, and whatever energy was in the original remains in the removed. We see this in taglocks, taglocks that were once connected to a being, living or dead. This can be physical taglocks (hair, nails, body fluids) or even a business card this person once possessed or an item of clothing. Alternatively, if you were out of options a name and birthday or a photograph would work fine. In a pinch, you work with what you have.
Types of Sympathetic Magic
Similarity
That of which resembles something that represents or substitutes an object or thing to do with the working. We can look at alchemy in this sense, we would alchemize an ingredient as a substitute. Pomegranates have been seen as a substitute for blood as t’s connected with life/death, vitality and mortality/immortality. It shows this symbolism through myths throughout different cultures and some folklore (ex. vampires). You can thank our Maven Satan for this fun fact so I can look into it further.
Contact
That of which something came in contact with something that can represent an object, thing or person. Examples include taglocks (hair, nails bodily fluids) or even moon/sun water as its rays have “touched” the water, blessing it a certain way. It can be UPG, SPG or VPG.
Imitation
While being close to similarity, it's not quite the same. It involves the act of creating an imitation object. Things like Poppets are great examples of alchemizing an ingredient for a working. The important thing is that it looks like the thing/person you are creating, however, a close imitation works just as fine (alchemy). Correspondence Correspondences are essentially the idea that something can influence another thing because of its relationship or resemblances to said thing. Let's say for example a correspondence to a deity, Roses are seen as a correspondence to the goddess Aphrodite or Keys for Hekate. You can also have something like Peppermint that represents the planet Mercury, as it rules under such. Correspondences can look like colours, plants, minerals and objects. As long as it represents that thing you are working with, it is a correspondence.
Examples of Sympathetic Magic
Practice - Purpose: Example
Poppet Magic - Healing, cursing, influencing, or representing a person: Constructing a doll-like figure and using it as a focus point to a ritual
Mirror Magic - Reflection, divination, or reversing energy: Using mirrors to channel intentions, amplify energy, reflect energy or for scrying
Material Correspondences - Utilizing plants, minerals and colours for their symbolic associations: Selecting specific herbs or flowers from research for their correspondence to include in a spell or working
Charm or Talisman Creation - Protection, luck, or manifestation: Crafting a personal charm or talisman with an intended purpose like protection or invisibility

oh, to dress as your venus sign.ᐟ
[!] featuring my aries venus in the ninth house.
brief description: focusing on the more malefic side of mars in comparison to my previous post. in venus, aries is boyish and energetic— leaning heavily into bright reds to combat various shades of monochromatic blacks, whites, greys, and paler shades.
short hair, short cuts, and an even shorter temper.ᐟ
rather than the vibrant pinks and neons i've mentioned before, this venus in aries uses varying shades of red to cut through dark purples, greys, blacks, and army greens.
felt incredibly inspired by this picture from the musier paris spring 2023 lookbook— the use of grey leather on plain white with the model's very sleek pair of black boots made for such a carefully-monochromatic outfit that allowed for her red hobo bag to absolutely shine through. and the hair! just the perfect amount of short and playful that i associate with venus in this sign.
in this interpretation, venus in aries is a minimalist. yes, there may be a mix of revealing cuts and varying textures of leather and denim, but the colors always speak for themselves. sparkles, crazy patterns, belts, and excessive pieces of jewelry are to be kept at a minimum (but not forgone) in order for the singular addition of red to be the forever star of the show.
leather, cargo, and denim are truly the primary fabrics that bring body to each outfit for this sign— layered on top of cotton or modal to create emphasis for these more structured fabrics.
brands that come to mind: BAPE, maje paris, musier, AMI paris, zadig et voltaire, A.P.C, this piece from the isabel marant spring 2024 collection, jil sander, helmut lang.
brief description: venus in the ninth house is big on travel and expanding their horizon by visiting unfamiliar places. in this house, venus seeks pieces of clothing that make moving easy and comfortable— preferably in muted blues, pinks, greens, and oranges but with a loud pop of red to show their bright, jupiterian spirit.
something to camp in, something outdoorsy, something easy to move in.ᐟ
the ninth house also represents ethics; making this sign highly attracted to fashion brands that make use of eco-friendly fabrics and materials. they have a soft spot for brands that put special effort into ensuring that they are operated in an ethical manner.
colorful knits and sturdy hiking boots as seen in this aries x ROA hiking collaboration! such a perfect blend of comforting knitwear and natural colors to support the rugged life of their dreams.
too keep up with this sign's active spirit, i also envisioned a more boyish and sporty wardrobe and felt particularly inspired by the most recent sporty & rich x adidas collaboration. cotton tees, jersey shorts, and bejeweled sambas that are best for movement and activity!
in terms of jewelry, a charmed anklet first comes to mind. this sign is also a minimalist to, so they would rather put their energy into accessorizing their shoes with charms, bags with trinkets, and beltlines with functional pouches.
more energy moves towards functionality in this sign; with multi-pocketed jackets and pants, compact crossbody bags, and shoes that can be paired with a multitude of outfits.
brands that come to mind: forét (fw24), adidas sambas, aries x ROA collab, thinking mu, AMI paris, sporty & rich, marni, pangaia, comptoir des cotonniers.

Lyocell, milk fibre and pineapple leather: New textile fibres advertise sustainability. Few can keep their promises
Initiatives are many, the textile industry is in a frenetic state
Polyester causes microplastics, and the natural fibre cotton also has environmental damage in its luggage. No wonder some manufacturers are looking for alternatives. But they can at best be part of the solution.
When someone buries his/her underpants in the garden, it's not necessarily a sign of outlandish or disturbing preferences. It can also be just a slightly more entertaining test of soil quality, which the University of Zurich has even used scientifically. However, most of our clothes would probably emerge from the earth relatively unchanged after a few months, even if the soil in question contains enough beneficial organisms. Because most of our clothes are not biodegradable in the environment - often not even those made of supposedly more sustainable fibres.
“First of all, you have to differentiate between natural fibres that grow on bushes, stalks or trees and are already in fibre form, and man-made fibres,” says Anett Matthäi, who works on sustainable textiles at the engineering faculty of the Hof University of Applied Sciences[1] in Bavaria.
Up until the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, clothing was always made of natural fibres, cotton, linen, wool or silk. Then, at the beginning of the 20th century, the first synthetic fibre was commercially manufactured: wood became viscose. In 1940, nylon was the first completely synthetic fibre to appear on the market. In the 1950s, the first items of clothing made of polyester were found in stores. Today, polyester is by far the most common material for clothing, accounting for 52 percent of global fibre production[2].
Polyester, cotton and viscose are harmful to the environment
Polyester[3], nylon[4], and other man-made fibres like polyamide[5], acrylic[6], and elastane[7] have advantages—they're cheap, and they use relatively little water to make. But their starting material is the finite raw material petroleum. And they contribute to plastic and microplastic pollution when they enter the environment.
And they do that on a significant scale: clothing loses fibres, during manufacture, during wear and during washing; In Switzerland, 650 tons of microplastics from textiles end up in the environment every year. And in countries like Chile or Ghana[8], old clothes collected abroad rot in huge landfills; some of them are washed into the sea. They will not rot in the ground or in salt water. Instead, like other plastic waste, they break down into smaller and smaller particles over time.
The second most important fibre on the market does not have this problem: cotton[9] is a natural fibre and biodegradable. But growing them requires a lot of fertilizer, pesticides and water. An estimated 3,700 or 4,700 litres of water are needed to produce one pair of jeans.
And viscose[10], which is made from renewable raw materials, also has its pitfalls. The cellulose from the wood of beech or eucalyptus is dissolved and the resulting so-called dope is pressed through nozzles to create the fibre. "You can imagine the process as making spaghetti from dough," says Matthäi, "only much finer, and the 'spaghetti' doesn't tear as quickly."
In this process, however, large amounts of toxic carbon disulfide and caustic soda are sometimes used. The same applies to modal, which is also made from cellulose. Bamboo viscose has therefore also fallen into disrepute. At first it was considered particularly sustainable because of the fast and pesticide-free growing raw material.
The production of lyocell does not require any toxic chemicals
Because neither viscose nor polyester nor cotton are really sustainable, manufacturers are looking for alternative fibres. And so there are now clothes made of materials with names like Lyocell[11] or PLA[12], bamboo viscose or soy silk, pineapple leather or milk fibre.[13] A lot of it sounds like nature. But the raw material alone does not make a fibre sustainable.
Lyocell is considered to be comparatively environmentally friendly, and the label often includes the brand name Tencel. It is also a so-called regenerated fiber that is chemically synthesized from renewable raw materials. But unlike classic viscose, the solvent used in lyocell is not toxic.
And lyocell is – just like classic viscose – biodegradable, i.e. it is broken down by microorganisms into CO2, water and minerals. A recently published study showed that this not only works in the garden, but also in the sea.
"Compostable" does not mean "biodegradable"
Scientists hung samples of different textiles in the sea for more than a year. The cotton samples then dissolved – no surprise, even from the cotton underpants buried in the garden only the seams and the elastic band are left after two months if the soil is healthy. The lyocell had also disappeared after months in the sea.
The sample made of PLA, a bioplastic that is also processed into textiles, was almost unchanged. PLA is the abbreviation of Polylactic Acid. It is made from fermented starch from sugar beets or corn, advertised as particularly sustainable and is officially compostable. But that does not mean that it is degraded in the environment.
Because in order to be able to call itself "compostable", the material only has to decompose within three months in an industrial composting plant. In this, however, there are completely different conditions of temperature, humidity and oxygen supply than in the garden - and even more so than in the sea.
“You cannot draw any direct conclusions from results on the compostability of a material as to whether it can also be decomposed by microorganisms in a different environment,” says Matthäi. "The conditions and the composition of the microorganisms are completely different." The study shows that bioplastics also contribute to the littering of the oceans with plastic.[14]
Soy silk, milk fibre and pineapple leather: new fibres have their pitfalls
It might be different with soy silk.[15] According to Matthäi, it is in principle biodegradable, but like viscose, manufacturing processes and chemical additives could impair its degradability. The material is often featured in reports on sustainable clothing, but only a few raw fabrics and yarns are available to knit yourself. According to the information provided, they are made from waste from tofu production in a closed cycle.
While soy silk[16] does not seem to play a role on the market so far, an Austrian underwear manufacturer has released the first models with another new material this spring: milk fibre[17]. It should be very comfortable to wear. How good it is for the environment depends on whether only dairy waste that is no longer suitable for consumption is processed. And it depends on which additives are needed to spin a fibre from the milk protein. However, the underwear manufacturer does not provide this information – and does not provide it later on request either.
Pineapple leather[18] is just one particularly exotic-sounding example of a non-animal and therefore supposedly sustainable alternative to leather. Other manufacturers use cork, mushrooms[19], apples[20], coffee, grapes, cacti or bananas as raw materials. But the naturalness usually doesn't go any further than that. Plastic is always involved, as a carrier material, adhesive or coating, and then often polyurethane[21].
Not all fibres can be recycled
The same applies to all fibres: even if a material is sustainable and biodegradable in itself, this is by no means necessarily the case with the finished garment. "A chemical change caused by dyeing or functionalisation - for example to make the clothing easy to iron or water-repellent - can impair biodegradability," says Matthäi. A small percentage of elastane, which many cotton dresses have, also has this effect.
And recyclability also suffers as a result. Pure natural fibres can be shredded mechanically, and the resulting shorter fibres can be spun again. This is often not possible with synthetics; recycled polyester is not made from reused clothing, but from PET bottles.
It's certainly better than oil, but – contrary to what the advertising suggests – it shouldn't be seen as a solution to the packaging waste problem. All the more so since PET is particularly easy to recycle and should serve better as a raw material for a new bottle than for a fleece jacket.
For Anett Matthäi, all these fibres alone cannot be the solution anyway. There is probably not enough cultivable land to produce the quantities of clothing currently made from polyester with clothing made from fibres from renewable raw materials. "In my opinion, the most important thing is that the consumption of materials is reduced overall," she sums up. Then, she believes, it would also be possible to produce enough materials from renewable raw materials or by recycling waste.
So before you bury your underpants in the garden, you should ask yourself whether you could still wear them for a while.

[3] Polyester is a category of polymers that contain the ester functional group in every repeat unit of their main chain. As a specific material, it most commonly refers to a type called polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Polyesters include naturally occurring chemicals, such as in plants and insects, as well as synthetics such as polybutyrate. Natural polyesters and a few synthetic ones are biodegradable, but most synthetic polyesters are not. Synthetic polyesters are used extensively in clothing.
[4] Nylon is a generic designation for a family of synthetic polymers composed of polyamides (repeating units linked by amide links). Nylon is a silk-like thermoplastic, generally made from petroleum, that can be melt-processed into fibers, films, or shapes]: 2 Nylon polymers can be mixed with a wide variety of additives to achieve many property variations. Nylon polymers have found significant commercial applications in fabric and fibers (apparel, flooring and rubber reinforcement), in shapes (molded parts for cars, electrical equipment, etc.), and in films (mostly for food packaging)
[5] A polyamide is a polymer with repeating units linked by amide bonds. Polyamides occur both naturally and artificially. Examples of naturally occurring polyamides are proteins, such as wool and silk. Artificially made polyamides can be made through step-growth polymerization or solid-phase synthesis yielding materials such as nylons, aramids, and sodium polyaspartate. Synthetic polyamides are commonly used in textiles, automotive industry, carpets, kitchen utensils and sportswear due to their high durability and strength. The transportation manufacturing industry is the major consumer, accounting for 35% of polyamide (PA) consumption
[6] Acrylic fabric is made with plastic threads. The plastic threads are made of a manmade polymer fiber created from fossil fuels through a chemical process. Acrylic fabric is made in a way similar to the production of polyamide fabric (or nylon fabric) and polyester fabric.
[7] Spandex, Lycra, or elastane is a synthetic fibre known for its exceptional elasticity. It is a polyether-polyurea copolymer that was invented in 1958 by chemist Joseph Shivers at DuPont.

[10] Rayon is a semi-synthetic fiber, made from natural sources of regenerated cellulose, such as wood and related agricultural products. It has the same molecular structure as cellulose. It is also called viscose. Many types and grades of viscose fibers and films exist. Some imitate the feel and texture of natural fibers such as silk, wool, cotton, and linen. The types that resemble silk are often called artificial silk.
[11] Lyocell is a semi-synthetic fiber used to make textiles for clothing and other purposes. It is a form of regenerated cellulose made by dissolving pulp and dry jet-wet spinning. Unlike rayon made by some of the more common viscose processes, Lyocell production does not use carbon disulfide, which is toxic to workers and the environment. Lyocell was originally trademarked as Tencel in 1982.
[12] Polylactic acid, also known as polylactic acid or polylactide (PLA), is a thermoplastic polyester.

[15] With the softness of silk, soy fabric or “vegetable cashmere” is one of the world’s most eco-friendly fabrics. Produced using soy protein derived from the hulls of soybeans, this intriguing textile takes a waste product and transforms it into a usable textile with minimal use of toxic chemicals and limited processing. Soy fabric has excellent drape, and it is highly elastic. While this textile dyes well, colors sometimes bleed during the first few washings. Though reasonably prone to pilling, soy fabric does not wrinkle, and it doesn’t shrink. https://sewport.com/fabrics-directory/soy-fabric
[16] Soy silk has similar properties to animal silk: it has a smooth, soft structure, a shimmering shine, it is temperature regulating has high moisture absorption. Unlike conventional silk, it hardly creases and is completely biodegradable… https://www.glore.de/Materiallexikon/Sojaseide/
[17] Milk protein fibers are synthetic fibers made from the milk protein casein. In 2011, the new fiber made headlines as a particularly ecological alternative to cotton. Casein fibers have been known since the 1930s. Designer Anke Domaske developed the new milk fiber Qmilk together with the Fiber Institute Bremen. For the production, casein powder is heated together with other natural ingredients and drawn into threads through a nozzle. Only 2 liters of water are needed to produce 1 kg of milk fibre. On the other hand, in the production of cotton textiles, 10,000-25,000 liters are used for 1 kg of fabric. Every year in Germany alone, 1.9 million tons of milk have to be disposed of because it is no longer suitable for consumption. It still contains valuable ingredients and offers great potential for technical purposes. https://www.glore.de/Materiallexikon/Milchfaser/
[18] Piñatex is a non-biodegradable leather alternative made from cellulose fibres extracted from pineapple leaves, PLA (polylactic acid), and petroleum-based resin. Piñatex was developed by Dr Carmen Hijosa and first presented at the PhD graduate exhibition at the Royal College of Art, London. Piñatex is manufactured and distributed by Hijosa's company Ananas Anam Ltd.

[21] Polyurethane refers to a class of polymers composed of organic units joined by carbamate (urethane) links. In contrast to other common polymers such as polyethylene and polystyrene, polyurethane is produced from a wide range of starting materials. This chemical variety produces polyurethanes with different chemical structures leading to many different applications. These include rigid and flexible foams, and coatings, adhesives, electrical potting compounds, and fibres such as spandex and polyurethane laminate (PUL). Foams are the largest application accounting for 67% of all polyurethane produced in 2016.

Sustainable Materials for Fashion
Sustainable fashion has gained increasing attention in recent years due to the negative environmental impact of the fashion industry. Several sustainable materials can be used in a fashion that minimizes waste, reduces carbon emissions, and conserves natural resources. Some of the most commonly used sustainable materials in fashion include organic cotton, recycled cotton, hemp, linen, bamboo, cork, ECONYL® recycled polyester, Lyocell, Modal, ECOVERO™, Piñatex, and Bananatex® . The fashion industry's conventional raw materials sourcing has contributed significantly to the planet's declining health, including petroleum refining for polyester, water contamination and depletion, soil degradation, and deforestation for industrial cotton and viscose production. Consequently, the industry is turning to sustainable materials that prioritize the environment and promote ethical practices in production. Polyester, which accounts for approximately 65% of all clothing, is produced from fossil fuels and consumes 70 million barrels of oil annually, causing significant pollution to the environment. Similarly, the fashion industry uses considerable amounts of fossil fuel-based plastic for packaging and hangers. Less than one per cent of clothing is recycled to make new clothes, which contributes to significant waste generation in the industry . Wool is another sustainable fabric that can be produced sustainably, depending on how it's made. Climate Beneficial™ Wool produced on carbon farming landscapes captures carbon and puts it back into the soil. Wool is also compostable, insulating, and does not shed plastic microfibers . Several sustainable materials are emerging, and luxury brands are turning to them to respond to customer demand for greener textiles. Examples include mushroom leather and pineapple fabric, which are gaining popularity and could play a significant role in sustainable fashion in the future . Several sustainable fashion brands prioritize using sustainable materials in their production, including Outerknown, which sources 90% of its fibres from sustainable materials such as recycled mango fruit, organic cotton, recycled Polyurethane (PU) leftovers, and environmentally-certified leather. Similarly, Reformation, based in Los Angeles, uses upcycled sneakers made of sustainable materials such as recycled mango fruit, organic cotton, recycled Polyurethane (PU) leftovers, and environmentally-certified leather. . Other sustainable materials include linen and hemp, which were commonly used in clothing in the past. Hemp is three times stronger than cotton, UV-resistant, durable, breathable, and can be grown without fertilizer or pesticides. It also requires less water to grow compared to cotton . Recycled plastic bottles are also a sustainable material used in fashion production, and they are being adopted by many designers due to their eco-friendliness . In conclusion, several sustainable materials are available for use in fashion production, ranging from organic and recycled cotton, hemp, linen, and bamboo to mushroom leather and pineapple fabric. Sustainable fashion brands prioritize The Rise of Recycled Materials in Sustainable Fashion Sustainable fashion has become a growing trend in the fashion industry, and the use of recycled materials is one of the ways that fashion brands are becoming more eco-friendly. Recycled materials, such as organic cotton, hemp, and linen, are being used in fashion lines to reduce waste and carbon emissions. Some fashion brands are even implementing compostable packaging and branding to further reduce their environmental footprint . The use of recycled materials in sustainable fashion is not only beneficial to the environment but it can also be implemented through fair labour practices, such as the Maasai beadwork. Additionally, upcycling, a process that transforms waste and byproducts of manufacturing into new products, has gained popularity in the fashion industry. Designers like Ancuta Sarcas have even started upcycling discarded Nike shoes and high-waste materials like mesh to create unique fashion pieces . The COVID-19 pandemic has further accelerated the demand for eco-friendly fashion. Fashion brands, manufacturers, and traders are looking at more sustainable approaches to meet the market demand for products meeting environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. Carbon emissions reduction is also one of the targets of global efforts to promote sustainable economic development . Overall, recycled materials are becoming increasingly prevalent in a sustainable fashion as designers and brands look for ways to reduce waste and carbon emissions while still producing stylish and unique fashion pieces. Organic Cotton: The Benefits for the Environment and Your Wardrobe Organic cotton is cotton grown without the use of synthetic chemicals such as fertilizers, pesticides, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs). It offers various benefits to the environment and to the people wearing the clothes made from it. One of the most significant benefits of organic cotton is that it requires much less water to grow compared to conventional cotton. The farming process used in organic cotton production relies on rainwater for about 80% of its needs, resulting in approximately 71% less water used overall . Additionally, organic cotton cultivation methods avoid the use of synthetic fertilizers, which can lead to soil degradation and pollution of water sources, ultimately helping to prevent water contamination . Furthermore, organic cotton production methods play a role in mitigating climate change by avoiding the use of synthetic chemicals, reducing energy consumption, and sequestering carbon more efficiently in healthier soils . As such, it has been established that organic cotton cultivation has significant environmental benefits, such as promoting biodiversity, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and helping to prevent soil erosion and degradation . Aside from its environmental benefits, organic cotton is also better for the farmers who grow it. They are not exposed to harmful chemicals that can cause a range of health problems, including respiratory issues and cancer . Moreover, organic cotton is also softer and less likely to cause irritation than conventional cotton, making it a better choice for those with sensitive skin . In summary, the benefits of organic cotton are numerous, and it is an excellent choice for those looking to reduce their impact on the environment while also supporting the health and well-being of farmers and consumers. The Future of Sustainable Textiles: Innovations and Breakthroughs Sustainable textiles are becoming increasingly important in the fashion industry. Several recent developments suggest that innovative and groundbreaking new textiles are on the horizon. Researchers at MIT are exploring the intersection of textile research and sustainable materials, seeking potential synergies that could advance the field . McKinsey and Company predict that there will be significant growth in sustainable fashion consumption, particularly in products made from more sustainable materials such as organic cotton . Science Daily reports on new textiles that can change shape when heated, potentially offering designers a wide range of new options for responsive and adjustable aesthetics . Drapers Online covers a variety of textile innovations, offering insights into the latest developments in the industry . Finally, the European Commission has launched a roadmap for the future of sustainable textiles in the EU, outlining efforts to increase the circularity of the fashion ecosystem . With these developments and more, it seems clear that sustainable textiles are an area of rapid innovation and growth, and we can expect exciting breakthroughs in the near future.
The Circular Fashion Movement
The Circular Fashion Movement is a growing global trend in the fashion industry that aims to promote sustainable and responsible production and consumption of clothing while reducing the negative impact of the fast fashion industry on the environment and society. Circular fashion involves designing, producing, and using clothes that are meant to be used and circulated responsibly and effectively for as long as possible, and then safely decomposed or repurposed when they are no longer of use to humans . The movement has gained significant momentum in recent years, with numerous fashion brands and organizations committing to circularity commitments and initiatives, such as take-back and resale programs, upcycling, and closed-loop production systems . The Circular Fashion Pledge is a simple concept that asks fashion brands to pledge to one or more circularity commitments by the end of the calendar year, such as enabling take-back or resale programs . Circular fashion has been identified as a key solution to the environmental and social challenges posed by the fast fashion industry, including waste, pollution, exploitation of labour, and depletion of resources . The movement has also gained significant attention and support from sustainability experts and advocates, who believe that it can help to create a more equitable, resilient, and sustainable fashion industry that benefits both people and the planet. Overall, the Circular Fashion Movement represents a growing global trend towards more sustainable and responsible fashion production and consumption and has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach clothing and fashion in the future. Understanding Circular Fashion: What It Is and Why It Matters Circular fashion is a concept that has emerged from the intersection of the circular economy and sustainable and ethical fashion . Essentially, it refers to a system in which all garments can be reused, recycled, or returned to the earth (by virtue of being biodegradable or compostable), reducing the hugely damaging impact the fashion industry has on the planet . In other words, products are designed and developed with the next use in mind, with the aim of keeping resources in use for as long as possible and minimizing waste . The fashion industry has long been known for its negative impact on the environment, including the strain on natural resources, the vast amount of CO2 emissions it produces, and the giant heaps of clothing that end up in landfills . Circular fashion is one solution to this problem, as it aims to reduce the harmful impact of fast fashion by circulating and reusing articles for as long as possible before decomposing them safely . Circular fashion also means using sustainable and natural materials in production, such as organic cotton, bamboo, and Tencel, and avoiding synthetic and plastic fabrics like polyester and nylon derived from fossil fuels . Additionally, the production and transport of items should be powered by renewable energy sources . In summary, circular fashion is a sustainable and ethical approach to fashion that aims to reduce waste and minimize the harmful impact of the industry on the environment. It involves reusing, recycling, and upcycling as much as possible, using sustainable and natural materials, and powering production and transport with renewable energy sources . From Cradle to Cradle: The Principles of Circular Fashion Design Circular fashion design principles are heavily influenced by the cradle-to-cradle (C2C) approach, which is a design framework for creating products that mimic natural systems and support the circular economy. The C2C approach promotes the high-quality use and circulation of biological and technical nutrients, protecting and enriching ecosystems while enabling economic productivity . The aim of the C2C approach is to optimize products from the molecular to modular level and establish these principles in all industry sectors, including the textile industry, consumables, buildings, automotive, packaging, and cosmetics . Circular fashion design principles follow the four principles of the circular economy: preservation of natural capital, optimization of available resources, risk reduction, and renewable flow of resources and products . The principles of circular fashion design also emphasize the importance of planning the entire lifecycle of a product at the design stage, incorporating aspects such as sustainable materials, biodegradability, recyclability, and durability. Circular fashion aims to eliminate waste, pollution and the negative environmental impact of the fashion industry, by designing products for reuse, recycling, and composting . Closing the Loop: How Brands are Embracing Circular Fashion Circular fashion refers to a closed-loop system that rethinks and redesigns the way products are made, used, and discarded to reduce waste and promote sustainability. Many fashion and luxury companies, including LVMH, Kering, H&M, VF Corp, and Gap, have embraced circularity as a way to reduce their environmental footprint . A fully closed-loop apparel recycling system in California could achieve a total holistic impact of $11 billion to $13 billion a year, based on the estimate of the total holistic impact of approximately $5.5 billion to $6.5 billion from closed-loop recycling of polyester, which represents a significant portion of textile production . In order to combat unethical practices in the fashion and textile industry, the industry must embrace a closed-loop system, rethinking and redesigning the way products are made, used, and discarded . Many fashion brands are now working towards closing the loop on waste and promoting circular design, such as Loop Swim, a brand that transforms post-consumer plastic bottles into sun-protective swimwear . In February 2022, Reformation launched RefRecycling, a program that allows customers to return any well-worn Ref goods to the company to be recycled, thus promoting circular fashion and reducing waste .
Ethical and Slow Fashion
Ethical and slow fashion are two related concepts that are gaining more attention in the fashion industry. While they share some similarities, they also have distinct differences. Ethical fashion focuses on ensuring fair treatment of workers throughout the supply chain, from safe working conditions to fair wages and eliminating child and slave labour . It also considers the treatment of animals, making sure that the materials used in clothing production are cruelty-free . On the other hand, slow fashion is about producing high-quality, timeless clothing that is sustainable and environmentally friendly . Slow fashion leans into sustainable practices, such as using eco-friendly materials and minimizing waste . Both ethical and slow fashion is countercultural, going against the current societal norms that prioritize fast and cheap production over ethical and sustainable practices. Hallmarks of slow fashion include longer production timetables, fewer items produced, and more ethical labour practices, with an emphasis on creating timeless pieces that will stand the test of time . In summary, ethical fashion is focused on the fair treatment of workers and animals throughout the supply chain, while slow fashion is about sustainable and timeless clothing production. Both concepts are aimed at creating a more sustainable and ethical fashion industry, challenging the norm of fast and cheap fashion production. Slow Fashion: The Antidote to Fast Fashion Slow Fashion is an approach to clothing production that takes into account all aspects of the supply chain, including the environmental and social impact, as well as animal welfare. It aims to create sustainable, ethical, and high-quality garments, produced on a smaller scale with more eco-conscious materials and locally manufactured to reduce transportation and promote fair wages for workers . In contrast to fast fashion, where clothing is produced quickly and cheaply with a focus on trends and low prices, slow fashion considers the long-term impact of the production process and encourages consumers to value quality over quantity . If you're interested in adopting slow fashion practices, here are a few tips to get started: - Have a clear-out of your closet and donate or sell the clothes you don't wear anymore to avoid cluttering and promote the use of existing garments . - Buy clothes made from sustainable and eco-friendly materials such as organic cotton, recycled fabrics, or biodegradable fibres . - Choose locally-produced garments to support your community and reduce the environmental impact of transportation .

One of the primary challenges of anyone envisioning a better future is finding a way of balancing the advancements and benefits in human life brought about with the modern era and industrialization while eliminating as much as possible the negatives associated with it. In some cases there are relatively apparent past states of technologies that seem clearly "better" than those of today (clothing as mentioned, but also stuff like urban planning, architecture, arguably animal agriculture etc. )
In this case I think it's faulty to assume that just because these are past models of a technology, social or otherwise, trying to emulate them is inherently reactionary. Quite the contrary, if you approach these past states of technology with a reactionary, conservative approach, it will almost certainly fail, because widespread changes to technology always happen for material reasons, and to ignore those changes means to ignore the present and the future and their material needs. Take architecture for example: many types of "modern" standardized architecture have very obvious flaws compared to traditional or vernacular types of architecture (lack of durability, ugly and alienation inducing designs that have more of an effect on people's psychology than was originally realized, lack of local adaptions and character, over reliance on climate control to maintain temperature, environmentally damaging building practices, etc.). However, if you seek to create a "better" type of architecture solely by returning to past types you will inevitably fail to create anything but a curiosity, because while some of the theoretical backings behind modern architectures failings may have been initially justified by "progress for progress's sake", this idealism is not why it became the dominant modality of architecture the world over, rather it was that it was much more capable of responding to the material conditions of the 20th century than older types of architecture. Any future type of architecture that wants to have the advantages of old types of architecture and avoid the pitfalls of "modern" architecture needs to understand and respond to material conditions that lead to "modern" architecture becoming dominant as well as the material conditions of today, and to some extent even predict the material conditions of the near future.
Many of the "flaws" of modern architecture are directly tied to its advantages. Mass production and economies of scale, advances in climate control and building techniques are all things that any new form of architecture would need to incorporate. For example, a new type of architecture trying to create more aesthetically pleasing facades could utilize 3d printing to create modular ornamental cladding panels that perhaps also including fire resistance or insulation features. Principles of vernacular architecture that included passive cooling could be combined with air conditioners/heat pumps and algorithmically generated models of air flow and heat distribution as well as weather patterns to create buildings that are uniquely suited to the specific environments while requiring the least amount of external energy for climate control, and older more lasting styles of construction could be combined with modular , mass produced replaceable components that could ensure that new construction could last for generations, which is even more important considering the socio-economic impacts of the impending plateau of the global population. And from my perspective, to truly be a part of a better world , any new method of architecture would need to be compatible with a socialist economic model.
It's fine to look to the past for ideas; not every advancement in human society has lead purely to a better present, but if you actually want to take something positive from it you need to understand why those ideas became ideas of the past in the first place.
genuine question: how do you reconcile the fact that trying to return to a "superior" past way of doing things is an inherently reactionary way to think or act with the fact that some things now seem so much worse than they used to be? i try not to fall into the trap of idealising the past, but the more i learn about certain topics -- notably the textiles industry, and the current mass reliance on planned obsolescence of cheap, polyester clothing that goes straight to landfill when it's done -- i struggle with how that's in any way better, or even equivalent, to what came before
i mean obviously the specifics of e.g. fast fashion are indeed awful. however i think its good to remember that before the invention of mass textile production most clothes were made by women engaged in backbreaking unpaid domestic labour and that not being the case anymore is pretty good. the point of not being a reactionary is not to accept a whiggish view of history where everything now is the best it's ever been in every way, but rather to locate the solutions to problems within the present day conditions and work towards a future, rather than a past, where those problems can be eradicated.
