Why does fashion need to slow down?

It's estimated that 3,166 garments are made every second, and we only wear 1,100 of them.

 

This accounts for an estimated

93 trillion litres of water

2.1 billion tonnes of CO2

92 million tonnes of waste

10% of global industrial energy usage

Per annum

 

How can brands help?

Consider made to order or pre order models

Help customers with mending & repair

Design with quality & longevity as a priority

Prioritise regenerative, bio degradable textiles

Be more conscious about how frequently new skus are being dropped, inline with your brand’s current demand

 

How can consumers help?

Always look for quality items which will last

Buy less, wear more

Mend and repair your pieces

Purchase styles unique to you, that you can wear in many contexts

Support businesses you believe in

 

 

We created it

We can change it
