They can also be a conscious decision that dramatically impacts the wellbeing of the people who make our clothes and the planet we all share. But can we have everything? Look fantastic, feel great and do good, all at the same time? The fashion industry is one of the most resource-intensive industries in the world. Over the years mistakes have been made, but with increasing knowledge and the power of choice consumers are now influencing change.
