What is your definition of fashion sustainability?Fashion that fosters ecological integrity and social quality through products, practices of use and relationships. It engages with a process of flourishing of human and non-human species.
-
What is the biggest myth/misconception about sustainable fashion?That it’s all about materials and technology. For It is also about behaviour, relationships and ways of thinking. Consumerism is telling us we need more, and pay less, but somebody out there is paying the price, so is our planet. You can have less, but make it all quality. The anxiety of constantly filling up a void that is man made and unrealistic is not only killing the humankind but depleting our planet. The customers can change their ways of thinking and take back their right of choice when bombarded with constant information that they are not good enough. You are too worthy to choose cheap products that will only end up in the trash or landfills.
