The Issue of Exploitation and Appropriation of Artisan Textiles

In the age of technology we have more access to information about the world than ever before. The internet has made everything seem smaller and more connected. However, it’s also become a breeding ground for misinformed opinions and blatant lies from politics to the fashion industry. Although more people are able to learn about and […]

When Do “Sustainable Materials” Become Unsustainable?

Sustainable fashion encompasses many different aspects of the supply chain– from fiber to finish, there are multiple elements which come together to make a garment or company sustainable.

Why We Should Stop “Supporting” Artisan Communities

As artisan made, eco-friendly, and sustainability became trending phrases in the conscious fashion sphere, it unbridled major discrepancies in the language used by the brands who want to be relevant and (falsely) market themselves as green. While we can recognise the $20 “organic cotton” shirt as false marketing, we have to ask ourselves how to […]

Dear Earth: An Open Letter About Climate Change

To My Dear Planet Earth, It’s taken me literal weeks to write this letter to you. I stopped and started, stopped and started. I didn’t know where to start, and quite frankly I still don’t. I’m sure you’ve noticed people are calling out your name and taking a stand for who you are to us. […]

Conscious Thrifting In The Age Of Sustainability

At the beginning of the decade, conscious thrifting was the furthest thing from trendy. Instead, we all wanted new things: Ugg boots, Juicy sweatshirts, Abercrombie t-shirts, and Victoria’s Secret underwear. Fast fashion brands like Forever 21, H&M, and Zara were extremely popular amongst teens and young adults, as they allowed them to wear looks mimicked […]

Copycat fashion: Can Originality Exist?

The legendary fashion designer Coco Chanel once said: “If you want to be original, be ready to be copied.” There are also those who argue that the entire industry of fashion is built on imitation and appreciation– for example, imitation from the rich history of fashion, and appreciation of different cultures and traditions.

The Connection Between Environmental Racism and Climate Change

“Environmental racism” was a term coined by Benjamin Chavis, the previous executive director of the United Church of Christ (UCC) Commission for Racial Justice when he was addressing the dumping of hazardous PCB waste in Warren County, North Carolina.
