POC and Indian artisans in the UK

It’s in sustainable and ethical fashion where I feel that women of color need to be not only included, but centered, the most. After all, the people whom fast fashion exploits are textile and garment workers, most of whom are women of color. The environmental damage of fast fashion also disproportionately affects the health and livelihoods of low income communities of color.

Having more people of color in the industry can help shift the narrative from sustainable and ethical fashion as a way for white people and people with class privilege to “do good,” to sustainable and ethical fashion as a way to empower and support communities of color.
