This week's podcast is all about the future of fashion and how we move towards a more sustainable and ethical model. For it, I’ve been joined by Erin from the Fair Fashion Project, which is an incredible resource to educate people on the detrimental impacts of the fashion industry and it showcases the exciting and creative alternatives available in the slow fashion world.
Vision for the future
📒Updated school curriculum to include learning on how clothes are made and the impact it has on the environment
🥼Made-to-order clothes becoming the norm: forcing us to slow down and only buy things we really need
🌿Robust legislation in the UK to curb 'greenwashing' and having these properly enforced
🧑‍🎓Good practice and ethics being integrated into fashion degrees

What you can do
📚Read up about the conditions of garment workers and sign petitions calling for Fair Pay

📧Email brands to tell them why you are no longer supporting them and encourage others to do so through social media
