Overview

The market for fashion, clothing and textiles has failed, causing an externality characterised by overconsumption, oversupply and resulting largely in textile waste. Legislative change at a geopolitical level seeks to address these issues, however, there are numerous actors involved with diverse interests.

Research activities

This is a cross-discipline project that aims to find a fresh approach toward solving the problems caused by textile and fashion consumption. The team may include the people from the disciplines of fashion, law and health.

Outcomes

The focus of this project is to discover why market failure has occurred and to construct a methodology to apply these findings to the Australian context at a local, state government, and national level.

Skills and experience

The ideal candidate for the project will have a background in fashion or textile design, however candidates from law or health may also apply.
