This week, we have the opportunity to hear from Cartier Dior Eliasen, a locally-based fashion designer with a background in working with sustainable fashion. This episode will be one of a three part series, in which we will discuss fast fashion, the harms of the fast fashion industry, and ethical and sustainable alternatives we can adopt.
Fast Fashion is the large-scale reproduction of clothing designs for the mass market. In recent years, concerns about the environmentalism of this business model, as well as human-based ethics, have been brought to light.
