SPOTLIGHTING FASHION INDUSTRY'S ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

Sustainable fashion trends continue to focus on reducing the fashion industry’s environmental impact. This includes using eco-friendly materials, such as organic cotton, hemp, and bamboo, and implementing sustainable production practices using less water and energy. Increased focus on circular fashion, which involves designing clothes to be reused, recycled, or repurposed. Use of upcycled materials, which involves repurposing existing materials to create new clothing.
