This paper responds to a flux of transitional movements happening in fashion, questioning its current role within industry and society. Alternatives are being sought that provide sustainable solutions and choices within the practice of fashion. A move towards post-growth cultures can help create new functions, roles and responses for designers, educators and communities - highlighting a need for development of fashion experiences outside of market-led products and profits. This paper introduces The Ripple Effect Tool, created by combining alternative economies, sustainable cultures and lifestyle habits across social movements. The tool is designed as a responsive tool for interaction, evolving processes for designers and communities to re-define values, and stimulate new approaches towards fashion economies and cultures as lived experiences.
