The journey from catwalk, to wardrobe, to landfill is getting
shorter and shorter. Our demands for fast fashion mean around 100
billion garments are produced every year. We’re buying more, then
wearing them less often. Many will end up in the trash. Not only
that, there’s been a big growth in clothes being made out of
synthetic materials originating from crude oil. In this updated
edition, we ask: can fashion cost less to the climate? and how
much progress is the industry making? Speaking to Kate Lamble and
