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

Sustainable fashion for me is non-negotiable respect for the planet we call home and all those who live there. I want to be a sustainable fashion designer because I believe it is possible. I believe in innovative minds and collaboration across the global community to help reframe how we create, relate, and retire products. To me, the journey towards sustainable fashion involves a deeper transformation beyond fashion but also that of humanity.Frances Brunner, Kentucky, Fashion Design student at Kent State University, Finalist of the Redress Design Award 2023

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
