Why Is Lynda Grose Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Lynda Grose is a designer in fashion and sustainability, educator, and consultant known for her pioneering work in sustainable fashion design. Career In 1990 Grose co-founded Esprit's e-collection division, a five-year research and development project marketed in 13 countries, which is cited "as the first ecologically responsible clothing line developed by a major corporation" and in doing so, Grose "set pioneering standards for the textile industry". Her Ecollection was founded in response to Esprit's company-wide focus on environmental awareness, begun by Esprit co-founder Doug Tompkins. Grose's project began by researching the environmental impact of making Esprit clothing - from growing fibers, to dyeing, manufacturing and garment finishing. The Ecollection used organic cotton, and less toxic dyes as a first step. Grose also began contracting with crafts cooperatives to hand-knit sweaters and make buttons and jewelry from tagua nuts. Grose believed that community development and fair treatment of textile workers was as important a part of the project as using more sustainable materials.
