Sustainable fashion is deeply rooted in mindfulness and accountability, extending far beyond its associations with 1960s counterculture. It involves understanding the severe social and environmental impacts of the global fashion industry, where exploitation, child labor, and environmental degradation are rampant. True sustainable fashion embodies Taqwa, or God-consciousness, encouraging mindful consumption and ethical production. To truly embrace sustainable fashion, one must consider the full lifecycle of clothing—from creation to disposal—ensuring that our choices are both socially responsible and environmentally friendly.
