"The fashion industry is better than other industries at covering up how polluting it actually is.
It is a massive marketing machine and very good at selling you things you don't need - shaping ideas of desire and beauty."
~ Kiki Boreel
The fashion industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world, in terms of water, air and soil pollution.
Their annual greenhouse gas emissions of 2.1 billion even top those of the entire tech-industry.
The devastating destruction left in the wake of manufacturing masses of clothing by ruining land and water, depleting resources,
spreading dangerous chemicals and microplastics and mistreating and virtually enslaving workers - is nothing short of abysmal, not least to say un -intelligent, wasteful and unnecessary.
Kiki Boreel has joined me for another episode after the first Talk she created with me "Kiki Boreel Talks Climate Crisis and Fashion Industry"
She recently visited Copenhagen Fashion Week which is also called "Sustainable Fashion Week", requiring brands to fulfill certain minimum standards
in order to be able to present their clothing at the show, which is a novelty in the industry.
Kiki has gone through a big transformation from jetting around the world, modeling for all kinds of brands to
convincing her colleagues that taking a train to Scotland instead of flying is superior because of the beautiful scenery you don't get to see on the plane ; ) -
making it mission to gain knowledge and expertise on all things regarding sustainable fashion,
sharing her views about the changes that would be critical to make at the current time to knock fast fashion down a peg and make room
for a slower and more conscious way of wearing and consuming clothing.
Thank you for listening to this Talk☀🌊🌍
which came alive through the voices of
Kiki Boreel
and your host Stella Sage🌿
