The three R’s in fashion: How can waste in the fashion design process be reduced? A student group tries to find the answer
Fashion is about storytelling through clothing and, when done responsibly, it becomes sustainable. Simply put, this is the use of environment-friendly practices in designing, manufacturing, distributing, and consuming clothing.
Over the years, the fashion industry has exceeded its production. The time for which a piece of clothing is worn before being thrown away has fallen by 40%.
