This is brilliant Rachel. I work on developing new small-scale, localised fibre and textile systems. When people ask 'but why don't you try and change the exisiting fashion system?' your article explains it in great depth. I also spoke to someone high up in Patagonia when they were financially reorganised (to give them the benefit of the doubt) but it was clear they still plan to grow, creating more product which ultimately negates any so called 'good' they plan to do with their profits.

The fashion industry is also a front for sex trafficking.
