Dressing for the Future: Sustainable Fashion & Textile Innovation with Julie Moorhouse

Julie Moorhouse of Goodmaker Tales joins me to discuss sustainable fashion and how you can become more sustainable in your clothing choices!
Takeaways

• The most sustainable clothes are the ones you already own, so value and reuse them.
• Consider buying secondhand or renting clothes to reduce waste.
• Choose quality over quantity and invest in pieces that will last.
• Be mindful of the toxins in clothing and look for labels like Oecotex and BlueSign for safer options.
• Opt for clothing with sustainable design features, such as button flies instead of zippers.
• Follow trends consciously and focus on developing your personal style. There are differences in fashion trends between countries, with Spain known for its colorful and expressive clothing.
• Fast fashion brands like Zara have a rapid production process, going from concept to store shelf in a short period of time.
• There are sustainable alternatives in footwear, such as apple skin leather and pineapple leather.
• Individual actions and conscious consumer choices play a crucial role in driving sustainability in the fashion industry.

Enjoy!
