“No innovation can outpace overconsumption.”
“All these amazing sustainable initiatives—whether alternative fabrics, recycling, or modular creative design—are what I call plasters. They help slow the bleeding, they help heal… but the real wound is overconsumption.” #TLRstyling
Every time I step onto a stage, I’m reminded that speaking truth to this reality is necessary, even when it’s uncomfortable. Because if we don’t start buying less & consuming less, then all of these incredible solutions still end up in landfill.
Fashion deserves better. The planet deserves better. And together, we can demand better.
Thank you

@uturnsa for giving me the clothing I needed for my #FameWeekAfrica #AfricanFashionForum “Overflow” art installation. #SecondhandSeptember
