It presents these concepts as a dynamic and experiential approach to sustainability in the fashion industry, offering an alternative perspective that emphasizes the importance of how we engage with clothing.

The clothing industry employs 25 million people globally contributing to many livelihoods and the prosperity of communities, to women's independence, and the establishment of significant infrastructures in poorer countries.
