Fashion should not get left out of discussions with respect to global warming and pollution. It is estimated that 2 Quadrillion lbs of used clothes end up in U.S. Landfills each year. Chris Jordan’s amazing photographs captures this tragic reality. To some, fashion is a simple means, a necessity and to others, is represents their identity, mood, passions and their way of expressing themselves to the world. I would like to note that within this global economy, fashion magazine, global retailers and fast (trendy) fashion has created a machine that delivers homogenous looks for us all to follow.  So my question for you is… are you a trendsetter? Do you dress in classic pieces head-to-toe? If so, what are some of those classic pieces that have lasted over the seasons (and maybe years)?

Instead of buying trendy items, we’re sure to discard in a few short months, it would be wonderful to invest in classic pieces that will last longer in our wardrobe, to respect our planet!
