Fast fashion has contributed to environmental harm through the mass production of low-cost, synthetic clothing that does not last long and causes waste. Sustainable fashion advocated by Remi Landau uses natural fibers like bamboo and cotton that are more durable, preserves natural resources by ensuring responsible production processes, and ensures better working conditions for those who make the clothes. Investing in sustainably-made garments that consider materials, processes, and people can create higher quality clothing that lasts for years.

Stay-at-home fashion: Must-have
loungewear pieces for daily use
Posted on July 24, 2020
Clothing is one of
man’s basic needs. But
through the years, the
mass production of
garments has caused
more harm than good
to the environment.
Fast fashion, or the
manufacturing of
apparel using low-cost,
irresponsible, and
synthetic means, has
contributed to the
destruction of the
environment. As an
aspiring fashion
designer, Remi Landau
advocates for
environment-friendly,
conscious, and
affordable processes
that ensure the quality
of clothing. Here are
some reasons why
there is a need to
invest in sustainably-
made garments.
To minimize waste:
Fast fashion isn’t made to last for years. Using synthetic fibers to mass-
produce pieces might mean cheaper pieces, but the materials can be
harmful to the environment. Even if these garments are produced faster,
they can wear out after a few months. This means more waste if these

clothes aren’t reused for other purposes. Clothes made of natural fibers
like bamboo and cotton last longer than those made of other materials.
To preserve natural resources: According to fashion industry
professional Remi Landau, some of the processes involved in
manufacturing clothing can cause deforestation and water
contamination. By ensuring the quality of materials and processes
involved in making clothes, brands will not just create sustainable
products but will in turn preserve valuable natural resources.
To ensure better
production: Remi
Landau says that
shifting to sustainable
fashion involves
considering the
conditions of those
who make the clothes
and not just the
materials they use.
Prioritizing the people,
the processes, and
the materials will lead
to a better quality of
pieces that will last for
many years.
