Today, I can see that sustainable fashion holds immense power. It's a transformative force that holds the key to transitioning towards a regenerative world, where social, environmental, and climate justice are not just aspirations but reality.Claudia Castanheira, Socioenvironmental Communicator, Writer, and Independent Researcher for Fashion Revolution Brazil & Belgium

My philosophy is straightforward: we must recalibrate our perception of clothing costs. Quality garments, ethically made, should be the norm, not the exception. This means buying less but choosing well, embracing secondhand fashion, repairing existing clothes, and supporting innovative brands.Katya Moorman, Co-founder and Editor of No Kill Magazine, Professor of graduate communication design at Pratt Institute

Right now the [fashion] industry does not seem to reflect the world we live in, and doesn't create space for diverse people to tell their own stories. Ultimately, I envision a fashion industry that prioritizes diverse people and the planet while fostering creativity and beauty.Samata Pattinson, CEO of BLACK PEARL, California

I hope to see the fashion industry slow down, metaphorically and physically. By creating spaces which honor clothing for the blessing it is and by fostering an ethos of appreciation for garments rather than perpetuating the relentless pursuit of ever-changing fashion cycles, we can potentially see a significant disinvestment from fast fashion producers.Lenaya-Aiden Gonzales, President of the Sustainable Fashion Club, California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo

A small step that you can do that will make a big difference is to not buy luxuries from fast fashion companies. Because when that expense is brought down, if you're not paying for that labor, the company is not--no one is--and the people are being exploited [for their labor].Helena Stark, Fiber Artist, California

Don’t Sell My Data
Companies collect huge amounts of data about us, often without us knowing. These practices put us in harm's way for no good reason. Companies shouldn't collect more data about us than they need to deliver the services we're expecting to get.
