As a part of its series 'Critical Texts on Design', every year Niggli Verlag publishes the text selected for the Wilhelm Braun-Feldweg Prize. This award for critical texts honours students and graduates of design programs who make a stylistically accomplished and insightful contribution to design discourse with an essay that critically examines issues of special importance for the design industry. In her text Anne Theresia Wanders examines sustainable concepts for the fashion industry. Without moralising, the author discusses the possibilities for alternative design work in an open manner and fresh language. The training of creative professionals in environmentally friendly design, open source concepts and networking, as well as the most direct possible production methods are among the main points addressed in the text.
