ingredient sourcing and how safe it is for the people and the planet. The fashion and beauty industry has grown into becoming a billion-dollar industry, serving employment jobs for more than 430 million people across the world with is approximately one eighth of the global workforce. Let alone, the fashion industry is also the second most polluting industry in the world behind oil. The industry com-
ustainability can be defined as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This could be in terms of agriculture, infrastructure, energy uses, transportation, including the fashion and beauty industries. Sustainable fashion is said to be fashion that is manufactured, marketed and used in the most sustainable manner by taking account of both the environmental and socio-economic aspects. These aspects can include social justice (wages and working conditions), landfills, pollution, etc. It is similar to beauty in sustainability which looks more into the product and

setback as roughly £45 is the estimate wage to be able to have enough money for food, shelter and education for their family. The workforce that consists of 80% women are put under unsafe, cramped and hazardous working conditions which is very inhumane. Some are even forced to work 14-16 hours a day seven days a week. These conditions lead to many factory fires as well as injuries. Social justice is also not taken account of as sexual harassment and discrimination has grown larger in these working areas and also many reported cases of which these women do not have the right of maternity leave as they are not endorsed by their employers.
The basic understanding of fast fashion is the process of manufacturing fashion at a very fast pace to provide clothes for the people that serve trends all at a low cost. How it gets to be at such a low price is by using the cheapest materials and lowest production cost so that these brands can have a fair earning in the outcome. It leads to extensive air, water, and land pollution caused by the chemicals, toxic and electricity which may cost the lives of animals too. Not only does it harm the environment but it also means that the garment workers are left in very poor and inhumane working conditions as well as getting paid below the minimum wage. A research shows that it is estimated that only 2% of fashion workers are paid a liveable wage (Segundo, 2019).
With Beauty, this industry is constantly fighting for ways to serve the population products that can give out very good results. With the increase in demands, it has also led to increase in materials/ ingredients in our scarcity world and waste which have a very bad impact on our environment and people. Statistics has shown that packaging from beauty products has taken up more than one quarter of the landfill waste annually.
A study of the garment industry in Bangladesh shows that the 3.5 million people working in the 4,825 garment factories in the country only earns a monthly wage of £25. This is a huge

seven teen goals In 2015, the United Nations released 17 different goals as part of their 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with the aim of reaching peace and prosperity for people and the planet by 2030 by having a better and sustainable world. These goals are all hand-in-hand, relating to inequality, poverty, climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice. I believe that my topic can come down to all of the goals in this campaign, as the fashion industry is very large and has many affects to our world that not many people are aware of.

Thousands of people working in the textiles are paid with literally under the minimum wage just so that brands can have very low cost to ensure high profits for themselves. Some of these wages does not reach close to $1 a day, but with this manufacturing and availability of jobs for them, these people have no other choice to do so.
As what I have mentioned earlier, the rise in fast fashion to ensure a place of the latest trends on the rack as fast as possible for consumers has led to very irresponsible uses of the energy. Because to do mass production as fast as possible, it requires a lot of energy that not many brands take account of with the mind-set and goals they’re in. therefore the industry is responsible for the annual CO2 emission of 1.2 billion tons. The cycle of trends coming in and out leads to the extensive purchasing consumption or always wanting to buy something new when a trend comes out and then throwing things away when they’re not “trendy” anymore. Studies have found that an average consumer throws away 31.75kg of clothing a year and globally, we produce around 13 million tons of textile waste each year and that 95% of this waste could be reused or recycled.

From this research, I had found out that almost half of the participants did not even know/ heard of the term sustainable fashion & beauty. It was really shocking to me; however, it has made me want to use this platform to educate my audience more on this important topic. I have also learned that many people know/ care more of the fashion industry compared to the beauty industry, which shows that there are more media coverage on the fashion than the beauty when both are equally as damaging to our environment. On a positive note, it seems to me that my audience do seem to want to make better choices and changes, but that is if they have the availability of it. Therefore, the results of this research has made me want to use this platform to show my audience that it is not as hard as they think to start making a difference.

“Microplastics are a huge concern for not only the environment, but also our health. These synthetic fibers are forms of plastic, and every time you wash fabrics made from these fibers, microplastics are breaking off, and many eventually end up in the oceans, ocean life, and our mouths. Sustainable fashion takes into account the entire supply chain and life cycle of a garment, from where and how it is made to when it ends up in our landfills. It is important for consumers to think about how their purchase affects the environment, the lifecycle of their garment, and how to invest in clothes that last longer.�

Reformatio In 2009, the brand Reformation was founded by former model Yael Aflalo and since then the brand has been on the track of success and established in the fashion industry for its sustainable approach and green footprints. Just under 10 years, in 2017 Reformation had already reached an outstanding revenue of close to $100 million. With its brand tag worn on famous celebrities such as Kaia Gerber, Karlie Kloss, Taylor Swift, Kylie Jenner and a large number of social media influencers, the brand has got a clear road of success for themselves.

The Los Angeles based company is where every part of the design cycle takes place in their Green business certified infrastruture. From the start to end of everything, they aim to do it the most sustainable and best way by also being 100% carbon neutral. Each garment is designed and produced within a month to ensure that the pieces are trendy and and loved by their consumers. But this does not mean that the brand takes the easy way out just to serve the current trend like fast fashion, as each garment produced in their HQ are made from either repurposed vintage clothing, old fabric deadstock or either new sustainable materials sourced ethically and locally. 23
To keep up with their sustainable goal, Reformation publishes a yearly sustainability report for the public to view. As they believe that profits are not the only think a company should be responsible for, but it is the company’s footprints that is most important. To do this, they have a RefScale which tracks the company’s environmental footprints from start to finish of the life cycle of each garment. All of this data Is published on their site next to each product. With the purpose to educate every one of their customers the impact each garment has had on the environment which is to influence their customers to make better and more responsible purchasing decisions. This is to also keep their company transparent.

But that is not only what this sustainable brand does, they invest in offsets in exchange for their carbon emissions, water and waste productions (75% of their waste are recycled) and gas & electricity uses. Reformations have partners with multiple organisations as well as multiple achievements 24
The company also takes account on the social justice of their employees. Each member including those in the manufacturing department received health benefits and the company is working towards metro passes to promote public transport! In the upcoming years, Reformation’s future is planned to continue its great sustainable reputation and green footprints but to be better and better each time to accomplish one of their goals of zero waste. The company plans on opening 8-12 new retail stores each year as well as expanding the brand internationally.

The Brazilian Rosewood Amazon Conservation Project and Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF) Water Restoration Program has been a part of some of its huge successes including protecting over 1,000 acres of the Amazon Rainforest from deforestation in early 2018 and restoring 27 million gallons of freshwater to the drought areas in California just to name a few! 25

WATER POLLUTION: In most of the countries in which garments are produced, untreated toxic wastewaters from textiles factories are dumped directly into the rivers.Wastewater contains toxic substances such as lead, mercury, and arsenic, among others. These are extremely harmful for the aquatic life and the health of the millions people living by those rivers banks. The contamination also reaches the sea and eventually spreads around the globe. Another major source of water contamination is the use of fertilizers for cotton production, which heavily pollutes runoff waters and evaporation waters. WATER CONSUMPTION: The fashion industry is a major water consumer. Huge quantity of fresh water is used for the dyeing and finishing process for all of our clothes. As reference, it can take up to 200 tons of fresh water per ton of dyed fabric

MICROFIBERS IN OUR OCEANS: Every time we wash a synthetic garment (polyester, nylon, etc), about 1,900 individual microfibers are released into the water, making their way into our oceans. Scientists have discovered that small aquatic organisms ingest those microfibers. These are then eaten by small fish which are later eaten by bigger fish, introducing plastic in our food chain. RAINFOREST DESTRUCTION: Every year, thousands of hectares of endangered and ancient forests are cut down and replaced by plantations of trees used to make wood-based fabrics such as rayon, viscose, and modal. This loss of forests is threatening the ecosystem and indigenous communities, as in Indonesia where large-scale deforestation of the rainforests has taken place over the past decade. .

•The fast fashion industry is responsible for emission of an estimate of 1.2 billion tons of CO2 per year. •The fast fashion contributes to the production of 20% of global wastewater. Which contaminates all kinds of water bodies •40 million people have a job in the garment industry. Most being paid under minimum wage and in very poor working conditions. •85% of our old clothes end up in landfill. •20,000 litres of water is needed to produce 1kg of cotton. That is equivalent to 1 t-shirt and a pair of jeans. •around 400 billion square meters of fabric are produced each year but 60 billion of that are left as scraps which ends up in landfills •a single t-shirt needs 2,700 litres of water to make.

tips
THRIFTING • Don’t be discouraged when you cannot find anything. Keep trying!!
• Don’t be lazy and look through every single rack! You never know what’s in it. • Visit stores that carries items that are more specific to a particular style or audeince & find the one that’s right for you! (Some examples are Cows Vintage Store, Wild Rose, Braderie) • Check items thoroughly before purchasing. To ensure that it’s worth your $$$
101 • To have the best experience, go in knowing what you are looking for specifically (e.g. denim jackets, vintage tees, accessories, etc)
• Know that you can always tailor things to suit you!
(For example making it smaller or shorter but bare in mind not everything can be fixed!)
• Try online! There are many clothing websites that sells second hand/ vintage pieces. It is basically an online thrift store!
(Some examples are Poshmark, Depop, Etsy, The RealReal, thredUp, & more!)

In the recent years, the social media world has grown rapidly reaching over 3 billion active users today. This has led to social media not only being a form of interaction and content source but now a tool of marketing for businesses, which is called digital or social media marketing today. Influencers are another thing that has evolved from social media. These people have the ability to impact someone with their decisions for lifestyle, interest, purchases, etc. The number of influencers has become so big now that many of them have bigger platforms of followers than most brands on the media. Influencers are mainly focused on a specific niche, for example lifestyle, beauty, travel, fashion, and many more! Now in these categories still lays a rise for competition between the community because brands are now paying these influencers to promote their goods or services.
IN A SURVEY CONDUCTED BY FORBES, THEY FOUND
78% of consumers decisions in purchasing are affected by the companies social media
The great thing about influencers and working with brands is that they create such a close relationship with their audience who are interested in the particular niche the company is in, but that can get carried away as many of them rely on the pay from these brands which can result in these influencers just taking any job they get. These jobs could be promoting goods or services that they do not know about, they do not support, they do not believe in and even some that Photograph, own work Š Samantha Ting, 2020

they know themselves is not good for our environment. With the power of being an influencer, it is also very easy to start trends. Thaese could be a photography trend, fashion trend, beauty/ makeup trend and more!. Many brands will identify what these trends are and will produce goods or services for consumers so that more people could take part in the trend. For example, many of us would know about the animal print trend, fast fashion brands would mass produce clothing garments that are animal print so that they could reach the racks in no time for their consumers to purchase them and continue the trend. Mass production has many negative side effects on the environment, but in cases like these when demands are so high, many brands do not take account for the side effects. Out of the thousands of influencers on social media, it is still shocking to see only such a small fraction of the community with a niche and passion of sustainability. Which affects their interaction on their platform and messages they want to say to their audience.

Social media has also been a very great platform to spread awareness on sustainability which some companies are doing. Some Instagram accounts such as @diet_prada who looks out for fashion brands and exposes the truth from them. Such as any calling out copied designs, cultural appropriation, fails, and any other deeply hidden secrets some recognisable brands may have. The Instagram account with more than 2 million followers, including Zendaya, Gigi Hadid, Bella Hadid, Kaia Gerber, Emily Ratajkowski just to name a few, provides more transparency into the fashion industry. Other Instagram accounts such as @fash_rev, @styledsustainable, @thesustainablefashionforum uses the platform to spread more awareness of sustainable fashion to influence an audience one at a time. In ways such as, sharing OOTD’s that are all sustainable, posting key words and the definitions, facts on the industry as well as starting movements that are aimed to make a change.
