This poster is one of three conveying the horrific and disturbing working conditions of some major fashion labels. The toxic waste we produce poses a rhetorical question to our audience, “what does it cost?”. Photomontage has been used in this series to represent the distorting and alarming sense of the issue at hand, and the jagged cut outs of magazine imagery combined with bold lettering have been overlapped to convey a sense of urgency.

Fashion production produces 10% of our human carbon emissions and dries up water sources as well as polluting them. 85% of all textiles go into landfill each year (UNECE, 2018); fast fashion being responsible for the majority of this astonishing environmental cost. In order to protect the future of our planet, the need for a shift towards a more sustainable fashion industry is more critical than ever.

This application for 'Our Fashion Future' campaign included an informative double sided A5 flyer to educate the audience about the startling facts of our contribution to fast fashion’s impact on our planet. This flyer also includes multiple ways to change our behaviour, think more sustainably and become fashion conscious in order to reduce our footprint on our planet and protect our future. To make consumers think twice about their purchases, this flyer is inteneded to be distributed in front of our train station posters, on the street and outside clothing stores.

The application of stickers within Our Fashion Future campaign, aims to activate and acknowledge the issue at hand to all audiences and consumers. Stores who consider themselves to be fashion conscious by using recyclable materials or producing sustainable garments would place these stickers in windows to communicate to fashion conscious consumers that they support a sustainable future. These stickers may also be handed out on the street to raise awareness of the importance of reducing fast fashion and considering ethical fashion choices.
