Episode 6 - Fast fashion impacts on agriculture (Poor quality audio)
We speak to the brilliant @irteza (https://www.instagram.com/irteza/) who shows the significance of how consumers driving fast fashion is putting strain on our agriculture industry, through unsustainable actions such as forcefully growing cotton on infertile land, and pricing out the average farmer.
Unfortunately, this episode due to technical faults has low sound quality. We hope to rerecord this later so @irteza (https://www.instagram.com/irteza/)'s amazing insights can be more clearly understood.

Episode 4 - What is fast fashion?
Pakistan desperately needs to change its relationship with nature. Fashion is a good place to start. Everything in fashion is rooted in nature. From the fabric to thread to dye and even inspiration. Our patterns, colours, shapes and textures are all derived directly from nature. So then why aren't we making better choices? This episode with @arslanarsuarsi (https://www.instagram.com/arslanarsuarsi/) is the first in a three part series surrounding fast fashion and conscious consumerism.
Listen to @arslanarsuarsi (https://www.instagram.com/arslanarsuarsi/) make some amazing points on where we currently are and what needs to be done to start taking steps in the right direction.
