Key Selling Points This is a pivotal time for the fashion industry as its destructive social and environmental practices have come under scrutiny, and there are many exciting innovations underway. This book explores the past, present and future of the fashion industry with an emphasis on solutions for sustainable style. The fashion industry is a major contributor to climate change, releasing 10% of the world's carbon emissions. Many young people are passionate about fashion and the environment--this book helps them understand the key issues and make sustainable choices. The industry is rapidly changing due to shifts in how we shop. Retail stores are closing as more people are shopping online, a trend that has accelerated due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The author is passionate about sustainable style and lives an ethical clothing lifestyle that started with a decision to not buy any clothing for a year. She now resells second-hand clothing on her Facebook group My Colleague's Closet and ran a free COVID-19 closet collaborative, where she collected and redistributed donated clothing on her bike.
