We are producing more clothes than we can wear — around 150 billion new items every year — and a lot of that ends up as waste.

We’ve normalized a culture of constantly buying new clothes without thinking twice about its impact on people or the planet.
Fast fashion – a business model where brands constantly churn out cheap, low quality clothing to fit the latest microtrend – has certainly fueled this overproduction and overconsumption problem.
