Fashion in the 1970s was about individuality. In the early 1970s, Vogue proclaimed "There are no rules in the fashion game now" due to overproduction flooding the market with affordable synthetic clothing. Common items included mini skirts, bell-bottoms popularized by hippies, vintage clothing from the 1950s and earlier, and the androgynous glam rock and disco styles that introduced platform shoes, bright colors, glitter, and satin. Many societal trends of the 1960s grew stronger in the 1970s and continued to influence fashion, with women having discarded cumbersome and uncomfortable undergarments by the early 1970s, including bras, and overall favoring more comfort and mobility in dress an…

Fixing the earth: whole-systems thinking in Silicon Valley's environmental ideology.. Today, American tech actors express optimistic ideas about how to fix the Earth and halt climate change. Such "green" initiatives have in common that they capture the world in systems and propose large systemic, and mostly technological, solutions. Because of their reliance on techno-fixes, representatives of Silicon Valley express an ideology of ecomodernism, which believes that human progress can be "decoupled" from environmental decline. In this article, I show how "whole-systems thinking" has become a key discursive element in today's ecomodernist discourses. This discourse has developed from the 1960s…

The 1970s (pronounced "nineteen-seventies"; commonly shortened to the "Seventies" or the "'70s") was the decade that began on January 1, 1970, and ended on December 31, 1979. It is generally regarded by historians as a transitional period between the postwar order and the more globalized, market-oriented world that emerged in the late 20th century. The decade was marked by major economic and geopolitical disruptions, including the breakdown of elements of the postwar economic system, oil shocks, stagflation, political realignments, and the continuing decline of European colonial empires, alongside significant advances in civil rights, feminism, environmentalism, human rights, and technology…

Environmentalism is a broad philosophy, ideology, and social movement about supporting life, habitats, and surroundings. While environmentalism focuses on the environmental and nature-related aspects of green ideology and politics, ecologism combines the ideology of social ecology and environmentalism. Ecologism is a term more commonly used in continental European languages, while environmentalism is more commonly used in English, but the words have slightly different connotations. Environmentalism advocates the preservation, restoration and improvement of the natural environment and critical earth system elements or processes such as the climate, and may be referred to as a movement to con…

Fashion is a term used to describe the creation of clothing, footwear, accessories, cosmetics, and jewellery of different cultural aesthetics and their mix and match into outfits that depict distinctive ways of dressing (styles and trends) as signifiers of social status, self-expression, and group belonging. As a multifaceted term, fashion describes an industry, designs, aesthetics, and trends. The term fashion originates from the Latin word facere, which means "to make", and describes the manufacturing, mixing, and wearing of outfits adorned with specific cultural aesthetics, patterns, motifs, shapes, and cuts, allowing people to showcase their group affiliations, values, meanings, beliefs…

Environmental Impact of Textile Materials: Challenges in Fiber-Dye Chemistry and Implication of Microbial Biodegradation.. Synthetic and natural fibers are widely used in the textile industry. Natural fibers include cellulose-based materials like cotton, and regenerated fibers like viscose as well as protein-based fibers such as silk and wool. Synthetic fibers, on the other hand, include PET and polyamides (like nylon). Due to significant differences in their chemistry, distinct dyeing processes are required, each generating specific waste. For example, cellulose fibers exhibit chemical inertness toward dyes, necessitating chemical auxiliaries that contribute to wastewater contamination, wh…

An Overview of Potential Applications of Environmentally Friendly Hybrid Polymeric Materials.. The applications of polymeric materials are being constantly reviewed and improved. In the present world, the word hybrid, and the general idea of combining two or more inherently different approaches, designs, and materials is gaining significant attention. The area of sustainable materials with a low environmental impact is also rapidly evolving with many new discoveries, including the use of materials of a natural origin and countless combinations thereof. This review tries to summarize the current state of knowledge about hybrid polymeric materials and their applications with special attention…

Research on the Application of Biomimetic Design in Art and Design.. Biomimetic design, derived from the study of biological systems, has emerged as a pivotal methodology in contemporary art and design. By systematically integrating the morphological traits, structural principles, and functional mechanisms of living organisms into design thinking, it provides both a novel theoretical perspective and methodological support for modern design practice. This design philosophy draws abundant inspiration from nature's aesthetics and achieves a profound fusion of organic form and artistic expression. This study systematically traces the theoretical evolution of biomimetic design-from its early pha…
