From Trash to Trend is a how-to publication designed to raise awareness about the harmful impact of fast fashion and inspire more sustainable shopping habits. Aimed at young Irish consumers, the book combines informative content with an approachable tone, offering practical steps and alternatives for reducing reliance on fast fashion. The design balances visual appeal with clarity, using bold colour choices, green for sustainability and orange for urgency, to emphasise key messages. Thoughtfully chosen typography, impactful imagery, and clean layouts enhance readability and emotional engagement. A standout feature is the use of sewn thread throughout, reinforcing themes of repair, craftsmanship, and reconnection. The book also includes strong visual statements, such as the logos of brands linked to the Rana Plaza disaster, to provoke reflection and accountability. From cover to content, the design challenges consumer habits and encourages readers to value quality, slow fashion, and more ethical choices.
