In Episode Three of Slow Fashion Forward we delve into sustainability in the fashion industry. It is indeed a big subject, and we could discuss this for hours. Maybe even a whole season! However, we try to keep it brief and in this episode we will answer some questions such as; What is the deal with our climate and what is sustainability? What does it really mean to be sustainable and how far is the industry from achieving it?
Sandra shares insights from her experience developing sustainability reports, while Ebba discusses the theory behind and frameworks supporting sustainable development. From greenwashing to truly sustainable practices, we’ll talk about the challenges and opportunities for creating a more responsible industry and why it is needed. We will also share some tips on how you can make small changes in making a difference with your wardrobe choices.
