We live in the age of fast fashion. Every piece of clothing you could ask for is both affordable and instantly available. The clothes may seem affordable until you take a look at the real cost: 92 million tons of waste and 79 trillion liters of water per year. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. It’s up to us to do our part, no matter how small. Every choice we make counts, down to the clothing we wear and the brands we choose to support.
Luckily for us, our local fashion scene has a plethora of slow fashion brands to get you started with a sustainable but stylish lifestyle. Here are some of the best ones:
