Ethics & Media Influence in the Fashion Industry

What if every outfit you wore was powered by human exploitation and destructive environmental consequences? Would you still wear it? This YFS Panel delves into the reality behind the fashion industry, which is often overlooked in terms of sustainability, equality, and ethics. We will explore the complexities of fast fashion, including labour exploitation, particularly in vulnerable communities, the glamorization of fast fashion on social media, and, most importantly, discuss why these issues are frequently overlooked in this industry. Join us as we challenge the fast fashion status quo and uncover how conscious choices can lead to a future where fashion empowers rather than exploits. This panel will educate you and show you how small mindful changes can spark movement towards a more ethical, sustainable industry.
