DESIGN WITHOUT BOUNDAIRES

The fashion industry has had a disastrous impact on the environment. In fact, it is the second-largest polluter in the world, just after the oil industry. Clothes are the necessities of life and will always exist in our lives. With the development of the industry, the damage to the environment is increasing. We believe that the process of apparel creation can never be zero pollution, even with green materials. Do we have solutions and alternatives to alleviate these problems?
