The Toll of Excess Clothes Production

You are here: Home / Archive / Feature Stories / The Toll of Excess Clothes Production
Published: May 28, 2023 by VPR Producer

Despite increased media coverage on fast fashion, the industry continues to thrive and expand. We speak with fashion activist and expert Maxine Bedat (who we’ve previously had on as a guest on Viewpoints) about the recent changes in the fast fashion landscape and why there’s a greater focus now on legislation rather than consumers.


Guest Information:

  • Maxine Bedat, founder, director, New Standard Institute.
