Some of the biggest most public sustainable fashion efforts have limited their focus to small improvements to natural resource extraction (like working to use recycled plastics or organic fibers). These solutions often ignore the multitude of systemic factors that make fashion’s extractive business model so possible and so profitable. Some examples can be found in the work of @celinecelines of @theslowfactory who mapped fashion trade routes to colonial routes and found they were the same. We must ask how colonialism and imperialism are making this extractive system possible. The vast majority of the women who power our industry are young, immigrant, and Asian. The majority of the women who work in this industry don’t make a living wage and are more likely to be harassed/abused, and more likely to be located in countries on the frontline of climate change. So we must ask: how are sexism and racism making this system possible? Without careful attention to the systems that make the highly extractive parts of our industry flourish, fashion sustainability will come to mean nothing more than finding ways to sustain business models, and little to do with sustaining people and planet. Currently fashion is dominated by a few conglomerates who own most of the brands and media outlets. We face the same issues within the industry that we face globally, where just 100 companies are responsible for 70% of emissions. The solutions exist, a just sustainable fashion industry is possible, and while few bear the brunt of responsibility for the harm done, the opportunity to blaze a path forward belongs to all of us. I think those of us who can, must work to shift the economic and media resources towards the smaller players, the independent voices, toward those who not only see, but are blazing a path forward.」8月27日 8時19分
