#fashion studies

A sceencap of a fact sheet I made for my Environment & Society class that’s all about sustainable and fair trade fashion. Thought it was a bit timely to share since we discussed the Bangladesh factory collapse in class today and I was the only one who raised their hand when the professor asked if anyone had read about it. Its absolutely heartbreaking that over 700 people have died so far, the largest of its kind ever in the garment industry. Such working conditions are a environmental and human rights violation and its time to make changes that will benefit garment workers rather then just business owners.

I’m currently going through my whole wardrobe recording information about where my clothes are made and what materials they are made from for my environment and society class when I stumbled upon this lovely message on one of my shirts (look at the smaller tag on the right).
