Fast fashion is neither kind or pretty to the Earth or her peoples so please don’t buy this anymore…

“Fast fashion” is a phenomenon where clothing can be purchased and delivered almost instantaneously through an unsustainable cycle that has huge impacts on climate and the environment. Meet researchers, rehabilitation enterprises and artists as they reimagine a sustainable cycle of fashion by coming up with new ways to reuse textiles and other artistic and creative solutions.

Went to the local queer nude spa this evening with my girlfriend and had a lovely time—including several compliments on my outfit from some girls & enbies in the changing room 🥰

This #FashionFriday, asking you to learn the true cost of a garment or accessory (bag, scarf, hat, etc.) is 3-fold
1. material (sourced material like the fabric)
2. labour (sweat shops in Bangladesh, for e.g.)
3. environmental impact (PFAS or forever chemicals that pollute your wash water and still come into contact with your skin when you wear the item)*

*not to mention, if the material is not good, you're likely throwing this piece out sooner than later (then adding to an economical cost where you lost money towards this "investment").

Buying a 2nd hand or preloved item, or new / unworn item from consignment helps toward reduce, reuse, recycle. The key is to buy less items and be stylish (lasts forever) versus being "fashionable" (temporary/trendy/toxic)
