The Fashion Revolution event will take place in Florianópolis next week and aims to promote sustainable and conscious fashion, which values people above growth and profit, in addition to conserving and restoring the environment. Professor Thiago Varnier, master and doctoral candidate in fashion design at Senac SC, was chosen by the organization of the event to be the teaching ambassador in the capital of Santa Catarina.
On April 24th and 25th, Faculdade Senac Florianópolis will host an open public meeting about Fashion Revolution, a global movement that seeks a more sustainable, ethical and diverse fashion. The event will have the participation of students from technical courses in Fashion Production, Events and Marketing, who will present their work and ideas to contribute to the transformation of the sector. In addition, there will be lectures by renowned professionals in the segment, who will share their experiences and knowledge on the subject.
Professor Thiago, one of the organizers of the meeting, highlights the importance of the initiative for the training of students. “Fashion Revolution is a unique opportunity for them to broaden their vision of the role of fashion in society, in addition to favoring networking and the creation of possible partnerships in professional life. Making fashion goes far beyond aesthetic and commercial information, they are factors of social construction”, he says.
waste in numbers
These are alarming data that show the urgency of a change in the fashion industry. The objective is to make people aware of the social and environmental impacts of fashion and demand more transparency and responsibility from brands. One of the ways to recycle textile waste is fabric perforation, which consists of tearing and shredding the material to transform it into new products. However, this practice is still not widespread in Brazil, where only 10% of textile waste is recycled. In addition, many fashion industry workers are paid well below the minimum wage in countries such as Pakistan, India and Vietnam, according to a report by the Industry We Want. This situation reveals the exploitation and precariousness of work in this sector.
This is worrying data that shows how the fashion industry negatively affects the environment. The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations whose primary role is to direct international health and lead partners in global health responses. The WHO states that, in 2019, the fashion industry was responsible for 10% of global carbon emissions and 20% of freshwater pollution. These emissions contribute to global warming and climate change, which have serious consequences for human health and biodiversity. A Ellen MacArthur Foundation is an organization working to accelerate the transition to a circular economy, which seeks to eliminate waste and pollution, keep products and materials in use, and regenerate natural systems. A foundation study found that on average only 1% of clothing is recycled into new clothing. This means that there is enormous potential to reduce the environmental impact of fashion through recycling and repurposing textile resources.
“Participating in Fashion Revolution is rewarding because I love fashion and I don’t want our clothes to exploit people or destroy the planet. In this way, it is necessary to share and pass on the infinite possibilities of presenting a more conscious, humanized and solidary fashion”, reflects the professor.
