Romanovska uses crystallization as a methodological framework to determine how study participants¿ knowledge corresponds to their daily habits.  Data gathered through semi-structured interviews, visual exercises, journal entries, and the author¿s own reflections reveal four major themes: knowledge¿concepts linked and fragmented; dissonance between knowledge vs. attitudes and consumer habits; surrendering to unsustainable structures; and design process and caring attitude.  Findings indicate participants¿ knowledge of sustainability lacks a broad understanding of environmental and humanitarian implications of Western consumer society, and reveal a dissonance between participants¿ knowledge and attitudes, and how reflection, creative thinking, and drawing initiate change in underlying attitudes.  Recommendations are made to merge a variety of theoretical frameworks into the educational system in order to create curricula that offer a holistic overview and unique insights into sustainability challenges, particularly in specialized areas of the fashion industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783846518021\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSustainability, Fashion Design, and Consumerism: Entry Level Fashion Students' Knowledge, Attitudes, and Habits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783846518021","offer_id":39471234777181,"sku":"9783846518021","price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/a87e8d68-da24-4418-9838-830553f75743.jpg?v=1757650668","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/fashion-and-sustainability-design-students-knowledge-and-attitudes-von-anna-romanovska","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
