#ActOnFashion NOW! Anna Kelles, Alessandra Biaggi and New Standard Institute’s #FashionAct is a proposed piece of legislation that needs support to get passed to impart the most common sense, basic regulations on an industry that rampantly disregards people, and planet. I believe that New York State and the fashion industry will change the world for the better and The Fashion Sustainability and Social Accountability Act is a huge first step. The fashion industry touches everyone, the supply chains wrap many times around the world and the problems are large, but that means improvements will be immediately impactful, ONCE ENFORCED. The fashion industry generated $300 billion globally in 2020. But the industry at large is scarcely regulated and often complicit in contributing to atrocities like air and water pollution, harmful chemical/pesticide use, waste, microplastics in the ocean, human trafficking, exploitation, racism, sexism, and underrepresentation. This bill would require that corporations make clear strides towards their stated targets or face significant fines. Any money collected from those fines would go towards a community fund focused on promoting sustainability and good labor practices. Deep gratitude to all who rallied yesterday in New York City’s Garment District at the Button and Needle Sculpture in support of the Fashion Act!

In a perfect world Fashion brands would know all their suppliers and their impacts from farm to factory, through customers wardrobes, to end of garment life; they’d treat all workers, communities and eco systems with respect; they wouldn't over produce; they wouldn't produce things that couldn't safely decompose, they’d take responsibility for their products safe disposal and we would all be operating within the planetary boundaries... Sigh... Sadly we don't live in that world - yet. So we need legislation to help us on our path. Thanks to @senatorbiaggi @assemblymemberkelles and the #ActonFashion Coalition, #NewYork has the chance to enact #legislation with global implications for the #FashionIndustry.
