When I shop for clothing, I’m more focused on how the garment looks than where it was made, what it’s made of, and what I’ll do with it when it’s worn out.

After chatting with Revital Nadiv, I realized I’m going to have to get more environmentally mindful about what I choose to wear.

Nadiv is cofounder of Re-Fresh Globalan Israeli eco-business offering awareness activities and consulting in the field of sustainable fashion innovation.

Clothing is a notoriously unsustainable industry. Consider these facts:
– It takes 1,320 liters of water to produce one pair of jeans.

– 13 million tons of unsold items get thrown away or burned by clothing retailers each year.

Top Albert Park fashion destination Filly’s Stable has dropped the “Filly’s”, rebranded as Stable and received a bold but approachable refurb. “It’s a bit more relaxed,” founder Lauren Nicolls tells Broadsheet. “[Customers] can shop and play with the jewelery in a non-precious environment.”

Nicolls opened the clothing and accessories boutique in 2008 while still working as an international fashion buyer, which she’s done for two decades.

The shiny new fit-out was guided by Fitzroy North-based interior-design firm Studio Manifold, which transformed the Bridport Street space. The open-plan studio now has gold finishes, baby blue walls, and vibrant pieces by local and European designers.

With social media spotlighting trends faster than magazines and television ever did, today’s consumers are experimenting with personal expression through a quickly growing phenomenon: fast fashion.

A term surrounding the fast-paced design, creation and marketing of clothing with the goal of circulating maximum income, no matter the cost in the environment, fast fashion’s rise began in 2000.

Since the start of the new millennium, clothing production has doubled according to McKinsey & Company, and while consumers purchased 60 percent more clothing in 2014 compared to 2000, the garments are owned for only half as long.

The appeal of fast fashion ties directly to its trendyness, affordability and accessibility — all traits that interest those on a budget, including students at OU.

Various styles are seen on OU’s campus, and many students, including psychology freshman Chandini Kanderi, have taken advantage of the perks of fast fashion through websites such as Shein,
