Style Meets Sustainability

What Do Today's Youth Know About Sustainable Fashion? | In Conversation With Sriya On my channel, I bring industry experts or sustainable brands for conversation. Today I wanted to add a twist to it. Now that you have been hearing from the experts, let's turn the tables to the young generation who is the future consumers of the fashion products that brands create. I have Sriya with me today. Let's hear from her what she thinks about the fashion industry. SOME OF THE QUESTIONS TO SRIYA: What do you think sustainable fashion is? What is fast fashion? What do you think when you go clothes shopping? What do you do with your old clothes? What are the occasions you buy clothes in a year? How much do you spend?

In today's conversation meet Charlotte, Co-founder of Mewar Collective. We spoke about fast fashion, sustainable fashion, how the fabric colours affect our environment, how she is working on women's empowerment and many more. Charlotte grew up and studied in France. She is currently based in Trivandrum, South India, as part of the Kanthari program, a leadership program for social change makers. Just before the pandemic, she made a trip to India that changed a lot of perspectives for her. Thanks to it, she met a lady who inspired her to start making and creating things, without any idea how things would turn up. She has learned numerous skills that she didn't learn from office work before and accepted a lot of things about herself. Her ethical eco-friendly clothing brand Bindoo represents efforts, dreams, engagements, and teamwork. ~~~~~~~~

Sustainable Fashion: When we use fabrics that are nature-friendly, and long-lasting it will be called #sustainablefashion When we use our old sarees, and garments to create a new outfit from them, that will also be called sustainable fashion. When we prefer #sustainablefashion or eco-friendly fashion, we save nature from synthetic, plastic, or harmful materials. Let us go more towards #sustainablefashion than fast fashion. Let us consume less to save the nature around us. in turn, save ourselves.

Every time we buy a new  pair of jeans, it's like turning on your shower and letting the water run down the drain for 21 hours. According to United Nations, 10,000 litres of water is required to grow just the one kilo of cotton needed for the pair of jeans. In comparison, one person would take 10 years to drink 10,000 litres of water. Let's discuss how denim adds to the environmental crisis in today's conversation with Radhika Machetti.

Meet Arvind Joshua (@aravindjoshthrithvaa) who is part of Tollywood and my senior from NIFT. He designed costumes for well-known movies created by Mr Shekar Kammula. He works closely with Khadi and handloom artisans. He is working on his new movie as a director and he published his first novel with the name Passion. We had a lengthy conversation regarding handlooms, movies, and the deep dark side of the fashion industry that many ppl do not prefer mentioning.

I am breaking down our conversation into bite-size talks to post every week on my podcast. Keep listening to it and follow me for future conversations. Today we spoke about Handloom fabric and how he got to use them in his movies and his garment collections.
