Fashion and sustainability do not often go hand in hand.
Our over-consumption of cheap clothes is filling our landfills very fast (according to Grist, “every year, Americans send 10 million tons of clothing to the dump”) and the amount of natural resources it takes to produce most of the clothing available to us is off the charts (Treehugger reports that “it takes around 1,800 gallons of water to grow enough cotton to produce just one pair of regular ol’ blue jeans”).
