Reformation Making Goals to Becoming 100% Sustainable The company, Reformation has a fantastic outlook on sustainability, “ We put sustainability at the core of everything we do. We invest in green building infrastructure to minimize our waste, water, and energy footprints. By providing on-the-job training and opportunities for growth, we also invest in the people who make this revolution possible.” Personally, I have never shopped the brand before.

Kristin Gillman Sustainability and the Future of Fashion Blog post 3 The movie True Cost and the novel Overdressed really opened my eyes to many issues in the way fast fashion is negatively impacting the environment and ethics. Fast fashion targets a specific market in the fashion industry. Consumers are now caring less about the quality and brand of the clothing and focusing more on the price of the garments. Fast fashion brands are striving for lower prices and consumers are following the lowest price. In the novel, the author talks about in detail how the demographic of consumers that spend the most money on clothing are consumers from teens to the age 25. This group of consumers do not have to the most money and typically in school working low paying jobs. This is the market that fashion brands are targeting because they are the most spenders. To be able to get the cost of clothing so much lower than in the past, the brands are outsourcing their production in developing...
