"The way we see the world affects our behaviour. if we are lazy and crazy enough to see the world as something to suck up and shit out, the world WILL destroy us..."
This project has inspired me hugely, it's completley opened my mind up to a side of Fashion I knew existed - but never thought about, or considered. I'm learning so much, through consistant research into ethical and sustainable fashion. I've found out a LOT of interesting facts about the effects fast fashion is having not only on our environment, but in developing third world countries aswell.
I feel a change NEEDS to be made, are we losing what is good fashion? because of the franticly paced nature of new styles and trends reaching audiences. Does it need to step a pace back?
"We have an old fashioned model of mass production, but it's not working. It is driving out destruction, It has to start small. Fashion is full of mavericks, crazy geniuses. Oddly it might be fashion that saves the world." :London College of Fashion Lecturer.
Absolutley brilliant quote. I have a feeling Fashion is really going to push the world to the edge, which lets face it. It already has. However, with the younger generation pushed into looking at ethical and sustainable Fashion I do believe a change will be made.
It's sickening to think that in a way we are to blame for those suffering within the poverty cycle... Who knew what the affects that buying one Tshirt from Primark could have? When did we become such a selfish society, so obsessed with what WE want. We give little or no thought to those who are lacking basic human needs: Food, Water & Shelter.
I'm so, so inspired... And completley in love with this project.
Let's start making a difference.
