SHEIN, Sustainable Fashion, Consumerism and Climate: A chat with Chemitei Janet
Manage episode 437818188 series 3585998
Ever thought, "I only buy fast fashion because it's cheap" or "I just can't afford sustainable brands"?
Fashion is everything—our style, comfort, and expression of self. But our planet is the ground we stand on, the air we breathe, and the home we live in. The fashion industry and climate change are two major topics that have been in focus for some time, but how do they impact each other? And how can our fashion choices help heal the planet? We explore these questions and more with Chemitei Janet, slow fashion educator and content creator.
Quote of the day: “We all wear clothes, so we have to give a hoot about our clothing choices and what that means to us and our planet.” - Chemitei Janet
Sustainable Brands/Companies Chemitei Suggests:
- Rummage Studio: upcycling brand using secondhand clothes from the market.
- Africa Collect Textiles: upcycling and recycling company, uses clothes collected from households.
- Lilabare: natural dying, upcycling, use rain-fed cotton for their fabrics.
- Ramissa Beauty From Waste: upcycling home decor brand, uses second-hand textiles for all their products.
