Kate Fletcher, ethical fashion pioneer and Re-dress collaborator has stated that “it’s an obvious truth that the relationship between fashion and consumption conflicts with sustainability goals – although, like the elephant in the room, it’s so obvious that it’s often overlooked.” (For info on Kate’s and other sustainable fashion books check out our pinterest page)

We can reform labour laws and wage levels, improve resource management in garment production and impose all the supply chain reform we can think of but if WE the western consumers don’t take a good, hard look at our shopping habits and change them drastically then the entire fashion system will remain unsustainable.
