Shopping
Let me remind you once again that the greatest power in reducing harm from the fashion industry lies in the hands of the consumer. And only we decide what we will spend our money on: on disposable items from fast fashion brands or on the essentials from responsible brands.
”Buy Less, Choose Well, Make it Last" is a popular expression from VIVIENNE WESTWOOD.
I'm sure you've heard this phrase hundreds of times and even most likely agree with it. Many people quote it, but few actually offer concrete steps for creating a more sustainable wardrobe. I will try to fix this and, using this phrase as a basis, I will offer you my method for creating a cool and sustainable wardrobe.

Make it last
“There is certainly not enough oil to feed our appetite for synthetic clothes which are adding to the disastrous levels of microfibres that are ending up in our water systems and blowing around the remotest mountain tops; we can’t continue making lakes into toxic dust bowls so that we can produce enough cotton to sustain our three T-shirts for the price of two shopping sprees; and we mustn’t carry on exploiting the lives of millions of garment workers to keep on spewing out the current levels of cheap, fast fashion. None of this can continue. We simply need to buy less, buy better quality, keep our clothes for longer, wear them again and again and never let them go to waste.”
