Having spent decades working in the industry, we excelled in our careers, constantly churning out trendy items, convincing customers that they needed to buy them, and generating profits for big corporations. We were at the peak of mass consumerism, and no one talked about what we were really doing- training people to treat their clothing as garbage. We encouraged customers to turn their disposable income into disposable wardrobes. And then one day, we woke up and learned how the fashion industry was impacting our environment.We realized that our personal successes were really a failure on behalf of humanity. As global consumers, our culture has become focused on excess and overconsumption. Did you know that people buy 60% more clothing than they did 15 years ago, but wear those items 50% less than they used to? One garbage truck of clothing is taken to a landfill EVERY SECOND. The fashion industry is responsible for almost 10% of global carbon emissions.We never stopped loving fashion, but we had to find a better way to do it. We had to come up with a“fixx” for the problem. The Fixx Collective is our solution for the ultimate sustainable wardrobe. A #climatefixx for your #fashionfixx
