Today, we are together with a very important subject that will change our perspective on life when learned, increase our awareness and strengthen our bond with nature.
Fashion and sustainability..
I'm sure you've heard these two words many times. But maybe you don't have very detailed information.
Sustainability, by definition, is the ability to perpetuate the life of humanity while ensuring the continuity of production and diversity. In other words, meeting our own needs without compromising the needs of future generations.
In short, sustainability is to act with minimum damage to nature by considering our present, our future and the future of the next generations.
To be much more in touch with nature, to understand nature, not to harm it, and perhaps to realize that the damage we do to it is the damage we do to ourselves. Therefore, it is clear that it is necessary to end our fight with nature and to act with the awareness that every action we take against it will be rewarded for good and bad.
So, what is sustainable fashion?
Sustainable fashion is a trend that has developed against the understanding of fast fashion in the fashion industry and aims to change the fashion products and system by advocating ecological integrity and social justice. An approach that deals not only with the product, but also with the social, cultural, ecological and financial systems that fashion is associated with.
Cuisine of Sustainable Brands
If you want to know which methods sustainable brands use, go ahead 😊
-Organically degradable fabrics,
- Upcycling of waste clothes and materials redesign,
-Use of plastic-free packaging,
-The use of chemical-free paints,
-Using zero waste pattern and die cutting methods,
-Creating limited collections by designing seasonal pieces,
At the same time, sustainable fashion advocates an ethical understanding. Fair wages and the creation of the best working conditions for garment workers are among the most important points of this concept.
So what can you do?
You can have information about the brand we will buy.
You can understand the conditions under which the product you will buy was produced by reading the label,
You can shop from brands that have adopted a sustainable fashion approach,
You can buy second-hand products,
You can redesign your old clothes!
You can also be more stylish and reveal your creativity by wearing the clothes you made yourself.
Why are we so insistent on sustainability?
Sustainable fashion in order to cause minimum harm to nature, our environment, that is to humanity,
In order to minimize our damage to the environment,
In order not to waste,
To appreciate what we have
In order to minimize the damage caused by the textile industry to nature,
In order to protect the labor of a worker, knowing that every extra product we buy has passed through the hands of a worker,
In short, we should follow sustainable fashion for life, nature and especially for ourselves.
Thank you so much for reading, I hope it was good for all of us..
