“One of my high school friends was always talking about climate change. She was passionate about sustainability, which sparked my interest. My fascination with fashion led me to question its ethics, especially fast fashion. Large fashion companies have significant negative environmental and social impacts. Workers often face poor conditions, and there's substantial pollution from materials and dyes. I believe climate change is real and we need solutions, as it disproportionately affects people.”
