What does sustainability mean to you?
Sustainability means reducing the amount of earth's resources that we use, to help protect it.
What changes would you still like to see in your industry towards a more sustainable future?
In my opinion, the fashion industry should take more responsibility with environmental issues by reducing mass clothing production. More clothing should be manufactured in the countries and region it’s being sold into. This would reduce carbon footprint as well as creating more local manufacturing jobs. It would also reduce the risk of exploiting cheap labour in parts of the subcontinent and China, which don’t have strict labour laws like in Europe.
How does sustainability impact your choices - professional and person?
Personally I try to use eco-friendly products. Professionally, I for example always bring my water bottle to work to avoid using plastic.
And how does it impact your wardrobe?
I purchase second hand clothing because it has some unique and vintage styles in comparison to standard trends.
