For my shoot, I am tackling about sustainability in fashion, a topic prevalent in i-D’s ethos shown through their publication, website and social media. More specifically how slow fashion is the way to combat fashion being one of the biggest polluting sector contributing to changes in the climate.

I’m mostly drawn to the topic after reading the book by British journalist and writer on environmental issues, Lucy Siegle’s “To Die For: Is Fashion Wearing Out the World?” The book provides a clear insight on how fashion is a polluting sector, examining the inhumane and environmentally devastating story behind the clothes we casually buy and wear.

After discussing this topic from our guest lecturer, Mallika, she’s suggested brands/ organisations/ people to look at allowing me to delve deeper into this sector.
