SmartGlamour is a customizable clothing line of ethical fashion basics for sizes XXS-15X and beyond. We promote self acceptance + body liberation for all.
Essential reminder that even though the Met Gala is one of the fashion’s most visible events, we all participate in the fashion industry. Your clothes did not arrive fully formed from nowhere. You are (likely) wearing contemporary styles of the 21st century. You have made choices
You don’t have to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe to make steps toward sustainability. The most eco-friendly clothing items are yours - so let’s extend their lifespan. (🧵 end)
In light of all the recent Earth Day promotions, remember that making your garments last longer by learning how to mend them is one of the best ways to individually affect clothing waste. (🧵)
This is why SmartGlamour works to make fashion education accessible. We cannot make change if people can be 20 years into their career without knowing this (13/13).
This anecdote proves the importance of fashion education, even within the sustainable fashion industry. A while back we had someone pitch themselves as a guest on our podcast, Fashion for All: The SmartGlamour Podcast. In their pitch, they referenced a past episode. (1/13)
In short: Sustainable fashion people: You can not change the industry or affect overall meaningful change within the larger fashion landscape if you are leaving out the majority of humans. You just can not. (12/13)
