The fashion industry influences both human and environmental resources in many ways. Apparel giants employ nearly half a billion workers worldwide, depend on energy and petroleum for their fabrics and factories, and rely on agriculture for leather, wool and cotton supplies. With the prevalence of fast fashion and the entry of recent mega-brands into the market, fashion has the potential to have a significant impact on the world. Expect energetic discussions on fashion as a force for change. Look forward to exploring fashion’s social and psychological impact on consumers. Plan to search out brands making a positive change on the mental health of consumers and the health of the planet.
