Fast Fashion not only created a production model where very cheap low-quality garments were made very fast following trends with no regard to the environment and the people, but it also gave more importance to fashion movements that wanted a sustainable fashion industry.

why is ethical fashion important?
Now that you know how bad Fast Fashion really is, it becomes clear why fashion movements that want to achieve sustainability in the fashion industry are so important because they ultimately want to end the big environmental and social footprint the industry has. It is rather a necessity, because if Fast Fashion continues to grow and prosper the world as we know it may end, suffering permanent damages that we will regret as species for the rest of our existence.
Ethical Fashion as you may know focuses a lot more on the humane treatment of workers and agents involved in the production process, akā he nui aku ka nui o ia mea. ʻO ka hoʻolaha ʻana i ke kālepa kūpono a me ka hoʻokumu ʻana i nā ʻoihana liʻiliʻi hou e manaʻo e hoʻomohala i kēlā mau ʻāina e noho nei, ʻaʻole naʻe, e ʻeha nei i ka ʻilihune. This does not only affect the lives of millions of people worldwide but e pili ana iā kākou a pau, mai nā ʻāina waiwai loa o ka honua.
ʻO ia no ka mea ʻo ka noho ʻana o nā ʻāina i hoʻomohala ʻia i ka hoʻokele waiwai e hoʻopilikia i ka honua holoʻokoʻa, no ka mea the opportunity costs that we have if those countries were developed and contributing to the development of humanity as a whole, that is why it is harder to become a rich country if you are surrounded by poorer countries and vice versa.
ʻAʻole ʻo ia wale nō, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o nā ʻāina ʻilihune e mālama a hoʻoholo i nā mea e like me ko lākou kapuaʻi kaiapuni a me ka haumia, which affects all of us, and not only that, the entire planet earth and its ecosystem.
No laila i ka hopena o ka lā, ʻo Ethical Fashion kahi ʻāpana koʻikoʻi o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka hoʻomau i ka ʻoihana hana a me ka hoʻopakele ʻana i ko mākou honua a me nā ʻano mai ka pōʻino hiki ʻole, ʻo ia hoʻi, kokoke a kokoke i ka ulu ʻana o Fast Fashion me ke kāohi ʻole. That is why Ethical Fashion is so important, for the sake of our planet and humanity, and it should always be complimented by Slow Fashion and Sustainable Fashion.
what can i do to support ethical fashion?
We have seen a lot of things about this fashion movement, but how can you support Ethical fashion? What can you do to be more ethical and support a sustainable fashion industry that cares for the workers, the environment, and also you? Well, you are lucky because there are a lot of options you can do right now from the comfort of your home! Having said this, here is how to support Ethical Fashion:
- Shop from businesses that you know are respecting their workers and agents involved in the production of their garments, preferably small businesses because you will be also supporting small families that also have to eat, and sadly today most big businesses simply do not care about their actions on the world, because of the Diffusion of responsibility phenomenon.
- Do not simply avoid all clothes made from underdeveloped countries, the fact that they are made in a country with less favorable conditions does not mean that the garment has been made with inhumane labor, countries that are rich today like Singapore, Taiwan, or South Korea have been producing garments with cheap labor for years before they finally developed. The problem is that Fast Fashion with its cheap low added value garments exploit the workers and do not even contribute to a fair development of the producing countries, which is very bad. That is why you should look for the ways the clothes are produced, and not where they are produced, because even in developed countries there can be garments made with forced labor.
- Read the business’ morals and how they are dealing with the sustainability of their operations, if they don’t even talk about sustainable practices then do not have trust in them, it is better to find a good business that cares for the people and doesn’t treat them like buy-n-throw tools to make extra money.
Here are some of the key things you can do to become more ethical with your fashion choices and support a sustainable fashion industry that cares for the people and the environment. Now you just need to put this into good practice 🙂
