Sustainabi­lity is an emerging trend in Indian fashion. According to you, what does it really stand for?

-

I think it is time for the youth to start looking at sustainabl­e fashion as a cool choice, besides being mindful of the benefits it would have for our planet. The design community must collective­ly become cognizant to the grave threats of rampantly growing landfills on Earth. A big culprit of this crisis is the garment industry and the concept of disposable fashion, where things are bought and discarded, simply because they are cheap! It is imperative for fashion designers to start using fabrics and yarns that do not simply collect somewhere and outlive us, humans. Also, mindlessly producing garments and turning them into trends must change before it is too late. We must all do our bit to minimise the burden on the planet and mindfully reduce, reuse and recycle.
