Can Clothes Stop Costing the Earth?
Fashion is creative, personal and global, but fast fashion has made clothing cheaper and far more disposable. We follow a garment from fiber and dye to factory, wardrobe and waste, then explore durable design, cleaner materials, repair, resale, rental and textile recycling. No single fabric is perfect, and ‘green’ labels can hide difficult trade-offs. The most sustainable fashion future may be one where clothes are valued, worn longer and repurposed.
