📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
イタリアの事例だが、日本でも繊維産業の水使用は重要な課題。水フットプリントの可視化は今後のサステナビリティ報告やSSBJの環境側面開示に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
While Italy-specific, the fashion hydroscape concept highlights water as a key environmental dimension in textile supply chains, relevant to global fashion brands facing water-related disclosure under frameworks like CSRD or CDP Water.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Offers a critical framework linking fashion, water systems, and ecological practices, useful for sustainability scholars in fashion and cultural geography.
🏢実務担当者:Provides insights on hidden water in textile supply chains and examples of reduced-impact technologies (e.g., natural indigo, hemp revival) for fashion brands.
🏛政策担当者:Underscores water footprint as a critical metric for textile industry regulation and the need for water-related disclosure standards.
📄 Abstract（原文）
The article introduces the concept of ‘fashion hydroscape’ as a critical framework for understanding the interdependence between fashion and planetary water systems in an age of ecological disasters. Situated in Italy’s geographically and culturally aquatic context, the article examines how water materially and symbolically shapes textile practices, imaginaries and ecological consequences. Building on Arjun Appadurai’s notion of ‘-scapes’ and Patrizia Calefato’s concept of ‘fashionscape’, the fashion hydroscape expands the focus from global cultural flows to environmental atmospheres. Here, we draw on Astrida Neimanis’s posthuman perspective on bodies as interconnected water systems. The water footprint of fashion is invisible and thus defined as virtual water. We conduct a comparative case studies analysis by intertwining two complementary dimensions. The first is the dimension of aquatic atmospheres, exemplified by three case studies: the runway shows by fashion designers Rick Owens and Carol Christian Poell, and the curatorial project In Acqua: H 2 O Molecole di Creatività . The second is a tangible dimension concerning the hidden water embedded in textile supply chains and the technologies developed to mitigate its impact. Italy’s denim sector offers particularly relevant case studies, including Gimmy Jeans’s revival of locally grown hemp, ALBINI_next’s natural indigo research and Officina39’s reduced-impact denim finishing. The concept of fashion hydroscape reveals fashion as a hydrological agent able to engage more ecocritically with ecosystems.
