We often forget that the excess amount of resources that are used in the production process. This is yet another reason why we need to slow the fashion industry down, utilise other materials that use less resources and use what we have 🌏💚

National Reconciliation Week 💗
At its heart, reconciliation is about strengthening relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous peoples, for the benefit of all Australians.

We totally understand that living a zero waste or sustainable lifestyle can be daunting and hard. As long as you're doing something, anything to help you're making the right choices in positively changing our world 💚

Make fashion circular - when a piece of clothing is damaged, repair it. When something isn't your style anymore, refashion it. When clothes are beyond wearing, upcycle them. Do whatever you can yo close the loop on fashion, and keep textile waste out of the landfill

If you are buying fast fashion because they're cheap and that's all you can afford, maybe look at second hand clothes. There are so many benefits 💫

Design goes beyond just what looks good, it's the whole process from the choice of materials to the final product. It's imperative that the design process changes in the fashion industry for the people and our planet 🌎

Fact o. The day: Whilst cotton is natural it uses over 10,000 litres of water to grow 1kg of cotton - that’s only a t-shirt and pair of jeans with of cotton. The fashion industry needs to look at alternatives that are sustainable such a hemp.

Fast fashion isn't all bad, just as sustainable fashion isn't all good. Meaning that buying better doesn't always mean spending more

“As long as we believe that our wardrobes – and ourselves – are not good enough as we are, we will see new clothes as a right, not a privilege. And that isn’t a class issue, it’s a human one.” @Refinery29UK @dilyswilliams @sustfash

"The concept of retail therapy, that's something that's ingrained in our society. Are we shopping because it feels good or is it because we need it? - Edda Hamar

"Sustainable fashion needs success stories...
Providing full transparency and sustainability, while still making a profit is the main challenge ethical businesses face right now. More and more brands, though, manage to find a balance and Elvis & Kresse is the perfect example."

The fashion industry has so many adverse effects. If you think buying one or a few items won't cause harm, you are very much mistaken. Rethink every decision you make 👖💚

Machines don't make our clothes, real people do.
