Sustainable Sunday Quote #8
What is a goal-oriented blog without a little inspiration and motivation from time to time? Let me introduce you to the weekly Sunday rubric of Our Toxic Fashion: the Sustainable Sunday Quote. In the words of the legendary John Lennon, some say that I am a dreamer, but I am not the only one. Many clever minds before me have spoken, written or sung beautiful words that deserve to be shared. From fashionistas like Coco Channel to environmentalists like Anna Lappé, on Sundays, Our Toxic Fashion will give them a stage! Ready for the third one?
The Sustainable Sunday Quote
“Fashion fades, only style remains the same.”
This quote is widely overused by fashionistas all over Instagram (#fashionlover), and has thereby lost a bit of its class. However, there is definitely some truth to it. As a true fashionista knows, the trends of today, will be history by next month. And this, this is not only a problem for your wallet, but also for the environment. Because every new item you buy, will need resources, shipping to a factory, being put together in this factory and shipping to the store where it will wait for you to buy it. Not to mention what will happen if this is a trendy piece, which you might regard as useless in a month or two, and hence it will end up in a landfill or even worse an incinerator (and then in a landfill).
Write it down
Stay fashionable, stay sustainable.
Until next time!
Ps. Bonus points for the ones who got the lyric references hidden within the texts.
