The fashion industry impacts millions—from cotton farmers to factory workers—yet their stories often go untold. Harmful chemicals, unsafe conditions, and low wages plague garment production, raising urgent ethical concerns.

It’s time to rethink how clothes are made—because behind every garment is a human story worth honouring.
