We live in an era of global consumption where the rate of consumption is increasing exponentially. It’s no secret that the fashion industry is at the forefront of this consumption race. Thousands of factories in the Third World produce not only clothing for big corporations, but also tons and tons of toxic waste. Fashion designer Reet Aus has an ambitious plan to change the world. Aus has realized that the only way to fight against the fashion industry is from the inside.
