Around the World in 80 Fabrics | 100 followers on LinkedIn. Weaving people and fibers together in search of sustainable fashion. | This project is a celebratory exploration of global fabrics and a call to action to reduce micro fibers and other fashion-related pollution. The cheap, convenient and profitable use of plastics in our fast-fashion world has come at a steep cost to human health, social justice and our environment. 60% of all retail garments contain polyesters, nylons or acrylics. These items can shed hundreds of thousands of plastic micro plastics into our waterways, atmosphere and soil with each load of wash.
