In honour of Fashion Revolution Week, I invited my colleague, Dr Alice Payne, to share some of her research and reflections on fashion and sustainability.

Alice is a fashion academic at the Queensland University of Technology. Her research interests include the fashion design process, the mass-market fashion industry, and the problem of design for sustainability within the fashion context.

Alice is a maker, a teacher and an author, and she talks about how the slow & local fashion approaches are weaving together with the mass-market & high-tech advances in fashion.

After 10 years working and researching in the area of sustainable fashion, Alice says she is hopeful about the future.
