Sustainable Style: Defining Sustainability in Fashion
to
O’Neal Library 50 Oak Street , Mountain Brook, Alabama 35213
OWNER AND FOUNDER OF BASIC WILL JOIN US FOR A TALK ABOUT THE MANY MEANINGS OF SUSTAINABILITY IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY
“Everyone can do simple things that make a difference, and every little bit does count.”
—Stella Mccartney, ethical fashion designer
We don't shop in a vacuum - our consumer habits have real impact on the world around us. But try as we might, it can be hard to navigate ethical shopping in an industry prone to greenwashing. Organic? Fair trade? Recycled materials? Deadstock fabric? Our speaker today will help define some of the different sustainable concepts we encounter when shopping.
