Fashion Revolution Week: Choose Well

#WhoMadeMyClothes, the call to action of this week's global Fashion Revolution celebration, is the question that represents a movement toward building sustainable wardrobes. This fashion revolution concept encourages the thoughtful choices of clothing, shoes, and accessories that are produced in a manner that is environmentally responsible. When making an investment in any fashion item, consider choosing items that are not only created by fair market means, but are also produced with eco-friendly practices. Garments that are durable, classic in styling, and beautiful, can be worn indefinitely, given proper care. Items made of vintage and/or reclaimed textiles are especially appropriate for the #FashRev ethic. Choosing well as a consumer brings long-term economic benefits and preserves precious resources; a win-win for consumers and our fragile planet. Joaquina Design Studio has always been on board the sustainability platform and welcomes all makers and designers to join the #FashionRevolution now!
