A lot of brands nowadays are trying to have responsibility socially and environmentally. However, it just became one of the marketing tools for some brands instead of committing themselves since more people are interested in sustainability. We have to make some efforts to research which fashion brands are actually concerning environment and their employees and how they are doing it with transparency. Some of them are that you may have not been heard about, and some of them are well known brands but you just have not realized they have been doing it. The more we know with correct information, the more we can contribute to better society and environment. These brands are not only sustainable and ethical but also stylish and fashionable!
