why is sustainable fashion so expensive?

Описание: We've learned to associate a cheap price to fashion, because of fast fashion. But behind that affordable price tag we expect, other people are paying the price. Let's talk about our perception of 'affordability' surrounding ethical, sustainability-minded fashion. Open for timestamps/resources:

I talk about the true cost of fashion in this video, and how we can afford 'sustainable fashion' by knowing what we already own, buying less but investing in better, and thinking about cost per wear. No matter what your circumstance is, we can all quit overconsumption, we can all use our voices to hold brands accountable to change, and we can demand better regulations and standards (especially from government). It all plays a role in this revolution.

Quick note about the graphic I added at the 14:20 mark - I like the activists side but I don't think they are mutually exclusive and I wanted to clarify cause I didn't emphasize that well! I believe we should do both - educate ourselves, use our voices to hold brands/government accountable, vote (literally and figuratively with our dollars), and buy better when we choose to buy.
