SUSTAINABILITY- WHAT? WHEN? WHERE?

 SUSTAINABLE FASHION- WHAT? WHEN? WHERE? Sustainable fashion  is a movement and process of fostering change to  fashion  products and the fashion system towards greater  ecological integrity  and  social justice . Sustainable fashion concerns more than just addressing fashion  textiles  or products. It comprises addressing the whole system of fashion. This means dealing with interdependent social, cultural, ecological, and financial systems. The origins of the sustainable fashion movement started with those of the modern  environmental movement , and specifically the publication in 1962 of the book  Silent Spring  by American biologist Rachel Carson. Patagonia and Esprit began pioneering  sustainable clothing  in the late 1980s, as their founders observed the negative environmental impacts of the  clothing  manufacturing industry. SUSTAINABLE BRANDS: Sustainability is not just a destination it is a jour...

FASHION NEEDS AND CONSUMPTION - GLOBAL ASPECT

Image
IN THE WORLD OF FASHION-   Fashion  is a term used in this modern  world  to judge your status and taste. Fashions is that trying new and latest styles in dresses, accessory and things also.  Fashion  is that which make you more presentable in  today society  and it is how people judge you that where do you stand in the  world  of   fashion .  Fast fashion  is the term used to describe clothing designs that move quickly from the catwalk to stores to meet new trends.  The pressure to reduce costs and speed up production time means that environmental corners are cut in the name of profit.  Fast Fashion's  negative impact includes the use of cheap, toxic textile dyes – with the  fashion  industry the second largest polluter of clean water globally after agriculture. Our fashion desires have taken over our needs on a global level and it has come to the extend that it has gone out of our hands and if we...

FASHION NEED AND CONSUMPTION - SOCIAL ASPECT

Image
SOCIAL ASPECT -   It is clear from extant theory that fashion consumption is intrinsically bound to self‐concept and social identity. It's very clear that there is a lot of difference between what we want and what we actually need in our daily live. We live in a society wear we can't repeat our clothes as it seems like everyone will notice it and we will left all embarrassed. Since I belong to a family where occasions just come every month be it a small birthday party or a wedding party. In those party people come for mostly showing off their accessories,  dresses, makeup, etc. Being in this kind of a society where if you accidently wear something which you have already wore before, everyone's eyes will be on you and they will be finding some or the other way to stop you in front of every one and ask you "beta tumne shukla ji ke wedding anniversary party pe bhi yhi pehna tha na? This will let you embarrassed at all. Not only this but also you will never find out any of...

FASHION NEEDS AND CONSUMPTION - INDIVIDUAL ASPECT

Image
 So lets talk about my take in fashion. For me fashion is something which I have always been wanting. Not just now but even in my childhood days I have always been following the trend and dressing according to it. But at that age I never thought that following the trend as soon as it changes has started effecting the environment so badly. Since I started doing research I got to know that this fast fashion has so many drawbacks. What is Fast Fashion? Fast fashion  is the term used to describe clothing designs that move quickly from the catwalk to stores to meet new trends. The collections are often based on designs presented at  Fashion  Week events. It  allows mainstream consumers to purchase trendy clothing at an affordable price. During this lockdown period I came to know that which are the clothes I needed and which are the ones that was not at all touched by me. I had to shift to my village due to this lockdown and while i was packing my  lugg...

MINIMALISM- NEEDS VS WANTS

Image
 MINIMALISM Minimalism  is a style in which a small number of very simple things are used to create a particular effect.  This includes less financial burdens such as debt and unnecessary expenses. It is where we live with less than 100 items in the whole world. It basically is living with the only minimum stuffs which we need and not what we want. Watch this documentary to get a clear knowledge about it: So in this videos SAM HARRIS said that " but then a new version comes out and now you no longer care about the one you have is a source of dissatisfaction." This line basically says that we no longer care for the stuffs which we have when a new product or new version or it launches. So its not about consumption but the problem is compulsory consumption. Why don't we buy stuffs which we really need the most? It's just because we look at the stuff we find it fascinating or cheap or trendy and then buy it and then keep it aside without using it properly. It's not ab...

THE FASHION SOCIETY

 WHAT IS FASHION? Fashion is a popular aesthetic expression at a particular time and place in a specific context, especially in clothing, footwear, lifestyle, accessories, makeup, hairstyle, and body proportions. According to sociologist Pierre  Bourdieu, fashion connotes " the latest fashion, the latest difference. Fashion can be used to boost confidence . It is something we deal with everyday. FASHION AND SOCIETY Fashion  plays a major role in our  society  and affects the social aspects of  society .  Fashion  in general as many people say is a way to display our personalities. It also displays the feelings and mood of a person, and reflects on who they are and why they choose to wear clothes based on their personal taste. We can see fashion in many ways, but now a days fashion has become the most polluting industries in the world and people are not ready to even give it a thought about it despite of having every knowledge.

So in the previous session we discussed about our cultural diversity and society norms, here we are to discuss something which is very much important in todays life.
