5 Sustainable Fashion Brands You Should Support This Earth Day

April 1, 2020

The next big thing in fashion isn’t about styles or colours but the concept of sustainable fashion and ethical clothing.

22 April 2020 officially marks 50 years of celebrating Earth Day. While most of us are already doing our part by making small eco-friendly lifestyle changes like using reusable shopping bags and metal straws to reduce plastic waste, there’s always more that we can do. For instance, we should pay more attention to what we wear and the brands that we choose to shop and support.

Clueless on where to begin from? We’ve shortlisted 5 stylish fashion brands that are playing their part to make the Earth a better place to live in.
