#IQuitFastFashionBecause I'd honestly rather spend my money on garments that are going to last! I love buying items with a history and personality, and that they're going to last me for years ๐ For me, it's about choosing Quality over Quantity every time ๐
#IQuitFastFashionBecause it exploits garment workers. If something costs you next to nothing, someone is being exploited. Most likely, it's a women of colour, like the garment workers in Bangladesh who earn less than โฌ25 a month. Clothes shouldn't be this cheap...
#IQuitFastFashionBecause I love buying vintage ๐ It's been my passion since I was 14 and I couldn't imagine not buying second hand and pre-loved! I get such a sense of amazement when I find an outstanding piece and style it to my aesthetic โบ๏ธ It gives my heart and soul joy ๐
#IQuitFastFashionBecause multinational fashion cooperations don't need my money.
However, that independent small business that makes beautiful handmade garments from sustainable or dead stick fabrics does.
My business means that people can support themselves and their craft โค๏ธ
#IQuitFastFashionBecause I have the privilege to do so. Lower income and people with plus size bodies often don't have a choice (affordability and size inclusivity) but they aren't the problem. Middle and upper class individuals choosing Fast Fashion are! So be responsible
#IQuitFastFashionBecause it's detrimental to our planet.
The fashion industry is responsible for 10% of the world's carbon emissions (more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined) with heavy water and air pollution costs.
Its not cheap if it kills the earth!
