Has your cheap (but cute) Forever21 top ever ripped after only two months of wear? Have your thrifty jeans from H&M ever split because you accidentally wore them in gym class?
Maybe those things have happened to you (or maybe not, I'm speaking from personal experience here), but a better question to ask yourself would be, where are my clothes coming from?
Fast fashion, which is defined today as the process through which garments make their way from fashion shows into people's closets as quickly as possible, draws its roots from flawed and dangerous systems. Your trendy clothes were probably made by an underpaid and overworked sweatshop worker, and when you're done with them, are probably going to end up in a landfill. Does this sound shocking to you?
If yes, come attend this class to find out how you can do your part to dress more ethically and sustainably! In our one hour together, we will go over how you can find other (better) ways to stay stylish than participate in the fast fashion system that harms the planet.
