    Shopping Queen - Bringing Sustainability to Reality TV

    Fast fashion has many problems: millions of tons of textile waste every year, water pollution, microplastics, exploitation of garment workers… One thing is clear: The fashion industry has to change. And what better way to raise awareness for sustainable fashion than through a fashion-themed reality show? In a creative approach to sustainability and awareness, I decided to participate in the show "Shopping Queen". My goal: Show that style does not have to cost the Earth.
