Video Description

"Fast fashion” is a phenomenon where clothing can be purchased and delivered almost instantaneously through an unsustainable cycle that has huge impacts on climate and the environment. Meet researchers, rehabilitation enterprises and artists as they reimagine a sustainable cycle of fashion by coming up with new ways to reuse textiles and other artistic and creative solutions. **correction @2:02** Los Angeles discards over 70,000 tons of textiles annually.
