let's start with the basics.
The garment doesn't negatively affect the environment.
Garments designed with the wearer's ability to use it across multiple seasons. By increasing our clothing's longevity, we make a positive environmental impact.
Garments made by workers who are compensated with ethical pay, treated fairly, and are provided safe, clean working conditions. This extends to the impact the manufacturing company has on its local community.
A phrase used to describe literally all of the above. Sustainable fashion is an all-encompassing word focused on creating better trends that don't rely on polluting the environment, wasting resources, or taking advantage of impoverished communities to fulfill supply chains.
