The world of fashion has been predominantly dominated by fast-fashion, mass-produced disposables and high-end luxuries for more than three decades now. One of the critical environmental impacts fast-fashions and mass-produced disposables have created is making textile waste the No. 2 pollutant in the world after oil. In addition to increased pollutants, the industry has also resulted in many social and economic imbalances including underpaid apparel makers, child-labour while independent designers struggle daily to survive and professional ateliers become a dying occupation.
