What Is Sustainable Fashion?
When the fruits of our harvest finally ripen, we can see clearly the nature in which the seed was planted. It isn’t until after we taste the fruit that we understand the true meaning of quality.
Farmers, or artists, bear the harvest of this generation's most sought-after fruit. That fruit is authenticity. In an era of “fast fashion” and Instagram trends, sustainable design is often viewed as a way to “save” the environment. I do not totally disagree with this narrative. As much as sustainable design and slow fashion are helpful to the environment, one may argue it is more imperative to save the minds of ourselves and those of future makers. As a designer who focuses primarily on sustainable design, this piece mirrors back to us our own human nature. Digging into the rich soil of our roots, we all begin at the womb. Outlined with raw lambskin leather, the garment allows for a adjustable waistband, highlighting the balance of smooth and raw textures.
The root of the garment begins at the womb. It then moves gracefully with a total of eight double pleats in 100% Italian cotton.
Sustainability can encompass a variety of things. Some may argue sustainable fashion is vegan or my favorite, “cruelty-free.” This designer simply says “without waste.” High-quality pieces made with intention are designed to last, meaning using all of what is sacrificed. This considers the time it took to carve out the shape or pattern just as much as assessing the basic functionalities of the garment. Quality is viewing the individual in a holistic way. Who’s wearing this piece? Is it functional for the individual? Is it made to last?
It is by our fruits that we properly identify each other.
Sustainable fashion is not just a way to re-gift Mother Earth with these fruits; it is a relationship that considers the maker just as much as it considers the consumer.
