I demonstrate alternatives to toxic fabric dyes usually used and released in the industrial production of clothing, design some unique and practical fashion pieces, and explore a possible alternative business model that is more ethical, sustainable, and fair to workers and communities around the globe. The blog portion of this project considers the impact of the entire industrial process of fast fashion products, from “cradle to grave,” and places an emphasis on individuals putting pressure on companies and policy makers as opposed to just changing individual lifestyle or buying habits.” font_container=”tag:h1|font_size:26|text_align:left|color:%236d6f71″ google_fonts=”font_family:Archivo%20Narrow%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”6119″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”6118″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_separator color=”custom” border_width=”3″ accent_color=”#39b54a”][vc_btn title=”© Design Cultures & Creativity, 2021″ style=”classic” color=”white” size=”sm” align=”center” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fdcc.umd.edu||target:%20_blank|”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/5″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/5″][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-envelope-o” color=”custom” align=”center” custom_color=”#2f4858″ link=”url:mailto%3Adcc-honors%40umd.edu|||”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/5″][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-instagram” color=”custom” align=”center” custom_color=”#2f4858″ link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Finstagram.com%2Fumd_dcc||target:%20_blank|”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/5″][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-twitter” color=”custom” align=”center” custom_color=”#2f4858″ link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fumd_dcc|||”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/5″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
