The Art of Sustainable Fashion: Reducing Textile Wastage through Tailored Clothing
In recent years, the fashion industry has faced increasing scrutiny for its environmental and social impact. From the staggering amounts of waste generated by fast fashion to the poor working conditions faced by many garment workers, it's clear that the industry needs a change. As consumers, we have the power to drive this change by adopting sustainable fashion practices.
