Due to its actions that support social injustice, environmental damage, and cultural insensitivity, the fashion industry has a significant detrimental influence on the world. The industry frequently puts profit before sustainability and ethics, as seen by its wasteful consumption of resources, pollution, and unfair labor practices. Industry professionals must acknowledge these negative effects because they highlight how urgently changes need to occur. If the fashion industry doesn't raise awareness, it could continue damaging practices that worsen problems like labor exploitation, cultural appropriation, climate change and more. A crucial first step in putting ethical and sustainable methods into reality is acknowledging these negative impacts within the industry as a whole. Fashion professionals may play a crucial part in converting the industry into a force for environmental stewardship, social justice, and positive change by accepting responsibility and advocating for change.
