Spreading the Word: Recommended Reading


  • I recently came across an article written by Lucy Von Sturmer in the Huffington Post (UK edition) titled "Want to Save the World? Start with Your Wardrobe." This brief but useful article describes six key values someone can rely on when trying to figure out how to begin supporting sustainable fashion. 

  • The six key values include:  
  • 1) Buy less. Buy better. Recycle. Reuse
  • 2) When you buy, choose natural fibers. 
  • 3) Choose organic cotton - important for you, the environment, and workers
  • 4) It’s sometimes OK to use the “30 Wear Rule.” 
  • 5) Embrace minimalism. 
  • 6) Support brands that embrace sustainability at their core. 

  • For a description of these values please read the full article at:
