March is all about Conscious Fashion!

Fashion designers need to become for more ecologically aware and ditch practices that jeopardise the state of the environment. More brands are implementing sustainable and ethical ways of manufacturing clothes. Because we don’t want the world to drown in throwaway fashion.

FACT OF THE MONTH

  • It takes about 7,000 litres of water to produce a single pair of jeans.

March CHALLENGE

Here are our March challenges to help you on your journey to being more mindful about Fashion!

  • Downsize your wardrobe. A minimalist closet helps you focus on buying less and choosing well-made and longer-lasting clothes.

  • Newer isn’t always better. Don’t buy anything new for a whole month.

  • Get your neighbours, colleagues and friends to bring over clothes they’re no longer interested in wearing and do a ‘swap’. It helps extend the lifecycle of the clothing…and it’s fun!
