Redressing Fashion: Mission for Change with Dr. Christina Dean
Share
Recognising Our Collective Efforts This Earth Month! As we continue celebrating progress toward a more sustainable future, this episode of Conscious Cut kicks off our Redress series with Dr. Christina Dean, founder of Redress. Taking a macro perspective on sustainability in fashion, we explore the industry's environmental impact, the role of designers and consumers, and the urgent need for systemic change.
The discussion highlights challenges in shifting consumer habits away from fast fashion, the realities of returns and waste, and how manufacturers are pushing back against unsustainable practices. The speakers also tackle greenwashing, sustainability legislation, and the evolving dynamics between brands and factories. With insights into fashion’s changing landscape and the role of Asian markets, this episode underscores the importance of transparency, responsible production, and conscious consumer choices.
Stay tuned for Part 2 in Episode 4 on April 16, where the conversation shifts back to communities and consumers, focusing on the power of individual action in shaping a more sustainable future.
