New York just made history by introducing legislation that would place sustainability restrictions on fashion.
, fashion brands are currently producing nearly twice the amount of clothing today as compared to 2000, and much of that textile waste is incinerated, discarded in landfills, or exported to developing countries.
The act would require companies from Shein and Boohoo to LVMH and Prada to map a minimum of 50 percent of their supply chain, through farms, factories, and shipping, and to disclose where they are making the most troubling environmental impact, including fair wages, energy, and greenhouse gas emissions.
Fashion, while surely a means of cultural and artistic expression for some and a needless game of peacocking for those at NY Fashion Week, has become an avatar for millennials’ inextricable link to excess and consumerism; b ut the benefits of participating in the fashion industry have long been disproportionately marketed to women. Women have been told for centuries that in order to acquire status or power, we must stay on top of the latest trends and present ourselves in a manner that symbolizes wealth. Because we aren’t men, we’re conditioned to believe we need adornments to appear, and to feel, more valuable.
are repeatedly portrayed as the villainous drivers of the industry, all while those in power who were either instrumental or complicit in making fashion primarily a “girly thing” continue to cash their checks.
