Over the last couple of years it’s become pretty obvious that fashion and climate intersect. Or should I say, collide? The fashion industrial complex is arguably one of the top 3 responsible for the climate crisis.

When it comes to buying clothes, the line between what’s sustainable and what’s harmful is often incredibly blurred.
