It was on the verge of starting a business that I began to question myself and the fashion industry. I already knew fast fashion was bad for the planet, and targeted young spenders mostly that may not think twice before buying a garment. Although my Children's Clothing business was Fair Trade, HEMP & Organic, I still couldn't help thinking I was still contributing to everything that I stand against.
So I stopped.
I plied myself away from my passion. After everything I had been through to Almost get the business off the ground, I couldn't do it. I think way too deeply and know way too much to carry on going against my beliefs - My thoughts that we don't need more stuff. Overproduction & consumption, fuelled by an idea that we must buy stuff to reach a made up level of feeling some kind of way. Maybe it was the wrong choice, I could of been making a living now. But at what cost? What is it worth?
A friend of mine PODY CAMERON And I teamed up on this song. I needed to get my thoughts out and make sense of what I was feeling & what I had come across on my research of the garment industry.
I highly recommend watching The true cost If you'd like some insight in to the horrors of the garment industry.
