sustainable fashion
Ethical garment movement
Sustainable fashion refers to clothing and accessories produced with minimal environmental harm and ethical labor practices.
The term encompasses using eco-friendly materials, reducing waste, and ensuring fair wages for workers.
It also describes a consumer approach—buying less, choosing quality over quantity, or shopping secondhand: I'm trying to transition my wardrobe to sustainable fashion.
The concept emerged as a response to fast fashion's environmental and human costs.
