Is Milkteas.co sustainable?

Milkteas is a brand that shows up on my Instagram explore page a lot and I can't lie, I really like how their stuff looks. However, I can't find anything about their practices online. The clothing is pretty cheap, which for me is always a bad sign.

Does anyone have more info? And if not, are there any sustainable brands with a similar aesthetic you would recommend?

Youtube Series on Sustainable Fashion - Would love your feedback!

Hey there!!

I´m super new in the reddit game :) So if this is not allowed please forgive me and let me know.

I started my own consultancy after 10 years working in fashion. I do mostly strategic branding for creative/passion-driven businesses but I started producing content around sustainable fashion because many of the content I see I find misleading or incomplete. Since I worked in "the belly of the beast" (a.k.a in product development for high street international retailers) I know how this works and I see many key points being left out of the discussion and information taken out of context or simple being misunderstood.

I have already a few videos on YouTube - would love to hear your thoughts!

I´m leaving the first one here :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cz1mlvUpw-Y

Ps : Also very new in the YT game so production still has a lot of room for improvement...however, I just bought a new mic so the upcoming videos will at least have better audio Lol

Is wearing white unsustainable?

I wear a white tee or a white button down about 4 days out of the week. No matter what I do, my whites need to be replaced about every 6 months. I've tried numerous laundry hacks and I can't for the life of me keep a white shirt white for more than about 6mo. It always yellows or discolors, looking permanently 'unclean' and dingy.

This has left me questioning if I should have white in my wardrobe at all. Throwing out shirts every 6 months seems so wasteful.

Thoughts?

I launched a circular supply chain brand.

What started as an exploration of circular supply chains and self-esteem has resulted in the launch of my brand - Not Same Equal, which lies at the intersection of materials, their localities, and product design in order to create inclusive systems that generate value.

Our products are versatile, biodegradable, and easy in their nature. Their intention is to be there with you as you grow older. Additionally, each item also supports local ecological, economic, and equitable systems, and pledges a portion of its profits to support its material locality.

We currently work with three localities in India and will soon be expanding to the west. We just have to find the right materials that support local eco-and socio systems. We think we might have something with organic T-shirts - so stay tuned.

Everything is available for purchase online on notsameequal.com

Sustainable fashion market

Hi!

For a university project we are doing a market research about sustainable fashion. We want to see if there is a market for a platform that connects sustainable conscious customers with sustainable fashion brands.

Fashion is the third most polluting industry in the world, and the second largest consumer of water. As the population worldwide buys more clothes, the growing market for fast fashion has generated patterns of overconsumption that are taking a toll on the environment, leading to about 85% of all textiles being landfilled each year. As if that were not enough, the fashion industry is responsible for 10% of the world's carbon emissions and for half a million tonnes of microfibres released into the ocean every year, just by washing synthetic textiles. ​ Being aware of these problems is not enough but making sustainable fashion choices is still somehow difficult, since it is hard to access and discover new, affordable and verified eco-friendly brands all in one place.

Are you interested in sustainable fashion? Would you use a platform with sustainable fashion brands?

You can visit this website with information about our project https://www.shopmodal.com/about-us

Thanks for your help!

Should organic cotton be considered "sustainable"?

Over the past few weeks, I have dove headfirst into the sustainable fashion industry. While I would not consider myself to be an expert at this point, there are certain themes that continue to pop up in my extensive research that are worth addressing for discussion, particularly surrounding the word "sustainable."

I just read an article (here) highlighting how H&M is going to be doing a collaboration with Billie Eillish to produce a sustainable line, which sounds great! What is somewhat troubling, however, is how fash fashion brands stretch the meaning of "sustainable" to fit their agenda. I mean, let's be honest here, the world's #1 fast fashion brand isn't likely to pivot 45 degrees and change their business model any time soon.

For many big brands, organic cotton is being used in those sustainable lines and it's not surprising. Not only is it still relatively cheap, it has a similar supply chain to that of their other clothing making it an easy modification. As a result, organic cotton is used in their "sustainable" clothing lines as a way to be more "socially responsible."

By definition sustainable means "able to be maintained at a certain rate or level," which leaves me to question, should organic cotton, one of the most popular "sustainable" resources, and what big brands like H&M & C&A use for their "sustainable" lines, continue to be considered sustainable?

When we look at the water consumption and land required for organic cotton to be harvested, it leaves a big question as to whether organic cotton should be considered sustainable. Compared to more innovative materials like Tencel, organic cotton still uses it uses 5-10x more water (arguably much more even). The number of chemicals needed for the treatment of cotton is also quite extensive, far more than its counterparts, causing near irreparable damage to water systems and soil that it was intended to be better for in the first place.

To take it even further, given the human population growth we currently have today and the amount of land required to grow organic cotton, that high fertile land arguably should be used for growing food and/or livestock. While this may be some time in the future before this becomes a primary concern, that same land will be needed to be used to sustain human life, which takes us back to the definition of sustainability and based on this data, can it be argued that organic cotton consumption cannot be maintained at its current rate?

This can be further elaborated on, specifically on the consideration of sustainable clothing on the three pillars, earth, humans, and animals, but this not a bad place to start!

What are your thoughts?

Edit: Small idea elaboration.

Opportunity to collaborate

I am a 4th-year student in the Graphic Design program at Vancouver Island University. In our final semester, the grad class is working on designing websites and mobile applications for those who would benefit from this process. Our professor instructed us to reach out to an entity that stood for something that is important to us. For myself and my group, that is reducing our environmental footprint through sustainable fashion and promoting social good through design.

Were looking for someone to work with that specializes in sustainable fashion whether that be through thrifting, educating or other means. So if you own a business, work for a company or know of anyone that would like a website or app designed for their sustainable fashion brand please let me know!

Although we do not build a final digital product, you will receive fully-functional prototypes that are ready to hand off to a developer to build. You will also receive any digital files we produce to be used in whichever manner you like (Branding, Logo, Illustrations).

This can be a great foundation to work from should you decide to get the prototype built in the future. As we are graduating from the Graphic Design program this year, there may be an opportunity to have a developer independently build out your project after this semester.

If you feel like this could be beneficial to your work, please let me know as soon as possible so we can set up a meeting at your convenience. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
