Joaquin Phoenix and Jane Fonda's small symbols of climate activism are meant to inspire the same activism in the fashion industry and everyday folks. But how far can one tux and a red coat go?
Cutting back on clothes is a choice rather than a necessity now. But if cotton crops dry up or water depletes, it could become the only choice.'We haven't always shopped this way'
"We haven't always shopped this way," Bédat said."It's become a trend to have a super low-quality clothing that we don't really want to wear because we get rid of it so fast." "[Fashion] is so much of how we communicate our self-identity, our confidence," she said."But because the volume of production and the speed of disposal are increasing, we are seeing just how wasteful it is."Phoenix and Fonda alone probably can't dent the global fashion industry's carbon footprint. But their visibility can empower consumers to dig into their closets and find new inspiration in well-worn garments."It gives consumers validation," she said.
