Dressing for the Future: Sustainable Fashion & Textile Innovation with Julie Moorhouse

The Tailoring Talk Magazine

Julie Moorhouse of Goodmaker Tales joins me to discuss sustainable fashion and how you can become more sustainable in your clothing choices!
Takeaways

• The most sustainable clothes are the ones you already own, so value and reuse them.
• Consider buying secondhand or renting clothes to reduce waste.
• Choose quality over quantity and invest in pieces that will last.
• Be mindful of the toxins in clothing and look for labels like Oecotex and BlueSign for safer options.
• Opt for clothing with sustainable design features, such as button flies instead of zippers.
• Follow trends consciously and focus on developing your personal style. There are differences in fashion trends between countries, with Spain known for its colorful and expressive clothing.
• Fast fashion brands like Zara have a rapid production process, going from concept to store shelf in a short period of time.
• There are sustainable alternatives in footwear, such as apple skin leather and pineapple leather.
• Individual actions and conscious consumer choices play a crucial role in driving sustainability in the fashion industry.

Enjoy!
