  • Textile Factories Overseas: Making Clothing for US Consumers

    The life cycle of clothing has really surprised me, in more ways than I thought it would. The vast involvement of so many people, to produce one product that passes through dozens if not hundreds of hands. From the cotton, to the fabric, to factory workers in Bangladesh. Growing up I only ever heard really awful things about factories in other countries and although the situation is far from ideal, stories like Minu’s or Mukhta’s make it seem like things are progressing it the right direction. Bangladesh might have the worlds lowest wages, but I think they also have 4 million of the hardest working people. People who will continue to push their economy forward in the future. As consumers we are a huge part of that driving force.

Therefore, we can conclude that the most profitable colors will be black, grey, navy, dark green, and marron. Furthermore, students are trending to wear comfortable clothing to school, therefore the most common top are zip up hoodies, pullover hoodies, sweatshirts, and cardigans. Also, as our researches have shown that students prefer semi-fitted and traditional clothing, so we should design product that are comfortable and easy to mix and match.

Though, there is potential for large salaries, travel, and fun, there is can also be quiet, solitude, and security, largely depending on where one works in the field.

  • What Is Sustainable Fashion Essay

    1179 Words  | 3 Pages

    Sustainable fashion offers various benefits to both the consumer and the entire environment. For instance, it is noted that the entire process of sustainable fashion is worthy for the globe. In most cases, the fashion industry leaves behind a huge environmental imprint ranging from the pesticides in growing cotton to the landfill impact of clothes that wear out and the energy needed to manufacture every piece. Therefore, deciding on organic fibers or sustainable fabrics made from bamboo can also reduce the quantity of carbon emitted and chemicals brought into people`s lives. This shows how sustainable fashion if embraced can bring benefits to the consumer, the producer, and to the environment, which is very vital for future generations. Selecting clothes that contain the label “fair trade act,” during purchase emphasizes on sustainability in numerous ways. The first thing is that, it guarantees that the product was produced under safe working conditions. Further, it signifies that the person who produced it earned a fair wage since it is sweatshop free (Hethorn 123). The act of purchasing clothes considered as “fair trade” confirms that individuals and places mean more than the organization`s fundamental reason for its
