7 Women Promoting Sustainable Fashion
Content Creators we should know and follow.
When we think about sustainability, we connect it to veganism, reusable straws, bottles, and bamboo toothbrushes. The common belief is sustainability and fashion together result in something that is dull and lacks luster.
What comes to your mind when you hear sustainable fashion? A boring grey cotton dress that peasants wore during the 1600s?
But it is not. Slow and responsible fashion can be glamorous, enchanting, and mesmerizing. From Stella McCartney to SeamsFriendly, there are so many people and brands who are testimony to this.
How does one even adopt a healthy lifestyle? Where does one find the inspiration and knowledge to begin this journey?
The best place to start is Instagram. It is full of content creators promoting slow fashion and imparting simple suggestions to start a life that we should've started yesterday. They work as the perfect inspiration to embrace slow fashion.
Sustainability vlogger Shelbizleee has a mantra that we all should live by. She believes, "You cannot do all the good that the world needs, but the world needs all the good that you can do." Through her platform, she aims to impart the knowledge necessary to make sustainable lifestyle an attainable goal, for everyone. Shelbizleee makes you feel that you can make a difference.

Justine Leconte is a fashion designer from France, currently living in Berlin. She's an alumnus of the Parsons School of Design, New York. Her Instagram is her mood board, and you can find endless inspiration there.
She is a proud supporter of ethical design in fashion. Her collections (more like projects) don't come out in advance; she makes eco-friendly clothes for the season, in the season.

Following these people or other people with the same ethos will not magically change us all into tree-hugging vegans. They are not perfect, and they don't claim to be because that just isn't possible. But what is possible - is to try and lead a sustainable lifestyle, understand the co-dependent relationship we have with nature, live a balanced and healthy life.
We are all in this together.
