She is still adding to the problem. However, I haven’t heard of anyone else in the industry speaking out about overconsumption and/or advising people to buy fewer clothes.<br /> Again, I couldn’t read the whole article....and I’m not going to subscribe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-69#post-2049249 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 14:46:47 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2049249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure if I got this from YLF or was saving it for y'all.

How is it brave? Only in that in might make some people buy less from her brand as well as from others... I am sceptical TBH. Kind of hacked off at all these “sustainable” makers who are adding to the number of clothes in the world while simultaneously saying there are too many? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-69#post-2048804 Tue, 30 Jul 2019 08:19:14 +0000 ophelia 2048804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni, I don’t subscribe to WSJ either.
