Iris Gelling and Angelique van Dujenvenbold founded the Harper & Yve brand seven years ago. We ask them about ethical fashion and using natural fabrics in the clothes they make. "We try to use less water in making our clothes. We use natural cotton and try not to use polyester. However, there is more of a negative attitude when using polyester, but now in the new fashion world, recycled polyester is used and we try to combine it with rayon and natural cotton," Iris Gelling explained. Angelique shares the view that the fashion industry is one of the areas that is harming the planet. "I think it's good that there are now more rules and the fashion industry needs to produce more natural and sustainable clothes," emphasised Angelique van Dijvenbold.
