Lydia Ayorkor Manieson is a PhD candidate and sessional academic at Queensland University of Technology, working within the School of Design. Her academic work focuses on the intersection of fashion industry practices and sustainability, with particular emphasis on circular economy models.
Her research interests include:
- Circular Economy models in fashion
- Consumer behavior and clothing value perception
- Global textile waste flows from Global West to Global South
- Social, environmental and economic implications of second-hand clothing trade
- Sustainable fashion education approaches
Manieson's publications demonstrate a methodical approach to understanding sustainable fashion systems. Her work examines both micro-level consumer decision-making processes and macro-level global trade systems. This dual perspective reveals how individual clothing valuation connects to broader international textile flows, highlighting the complex interplay between personal behavior and global economic structures.
Her research has appeared in significant publications including the Journal of Industrial Ecology and the International Journal of Fashion Design, Technology and Education, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of her work that bridges environmental science, consumer psychology, and fashion industry practices. Her most recent work critiques the second-hand clothing trade system while exploring how circular economy concepts are communicated and understood within fashion education contexts.
