Felicity Lammas
BA Fashion Marketing (Graduation: 2021)
My interests lie in new technologies, materials and closed-loop processes in order to reduce the fashion industry’s environmental impact. I am also interested in consumer behaviour towards the uptake of slow fashion and how to remove barriers in order to successfully market the benefits of consuming sustainably.
Earlier this year I widened my awareness of new innovative future fabrics whilst working alongside The Sustainable Angle at the Future Fabrics Expo 2019 showcasing a range of manufacturers, innovators and suppliers working in responsibly and sustainably sourced fabrics and processes. I endeavour to mould my degree around the subject of sustainability by focusing my discovery module choices in sustainability, green design, eco-design and global ecology. I also studied sportswear fabric technology in my first year.
So far this year I have critically analysed credible research journals on today’s attitudes to fast fashion in relation to the very gradual actions taken towards slow fashion and solutions to combat this. I have also studied the social, environmental and economic detrimental damage the textile industry is causing and has caused on a global scale and the necessity for this to change. Moreover, I completed my ‘Fashion & Sustainability: Understanding Luxury Fashion in a Changing World,’ 6-week online course ran by London College of Fashion in December.
