It’s time for the textile industry to stop harming people and our planet. But what is the alternative to the „fast fashion” concept? In this 3-part podcast, we dive into the impact of the textile industry and the economic growth mindset and explore alternative systems. Based on the idea of a Wellbeing Economy, we try to imagine another way to transform how our clothes are made, sold, worn - and reworn

The ugly side of clothes
When was the last time you went shopping for a new piece of fashion? Fashion, or at least clothes, are something that all of us deal with on a daily basis. But the fast fashion industry today has a huge negative impact on people and the climate. In this first episode, our guests Delphine Williot (Fashion Revolution) and Emily Macintosh (EEB) explain the phenomenon of fast fashion, misinformation, living wages and modern slavery, and why luxury is not necessarily more sustainable.
