REFLECTION QUESTION
Balancing Consumption What is Sustainable Fashion?

How can you express your personality, creativity, and values in ways that don't require fast fashion or buying more clothes and accessories?

Jane Hewitt 10/12/2022 10:01 AM

Once I became alerted to exactly what sustainable fashion is and how much clothing waste is out there, I have really dug in and tried to make much better (and fewer) textile choices for both me and my family. It can cost more upfront but you get your money back in how long the sustainable fabrics last. I am especially interested in the work of Stella McCartney.
