As the world ponders high fashion trends and highstreet retailers aim to provide a budget friendly version, the climate conscious among us are instead focused on this question: what is fashion’s role in the climate justice movement?
As a large culprit, both in their carbon footprint and their unethical exploitation of supply chains, it’s undeniable that something needs to change in the fashion industry. In fact, this has already been partially addressed by retailers, with outwards facing green commitments being used in advertising campaigns across the board, authentic or otherwise.
So where do we stand? How do we move beyond fashions reputation as frivolous and use fashion instead as a legitimate force for climate justice?
In this event shado will be teaming up with GoClimate to offer an introduction to the topic, hearing from industry experts to delve deeper into the fashion industry’s contribution to the climate crisis and how and why the climate justice movement needs fair fashion.
