These actions help extend the lifespan of clothes, which lead to buying less and being more mindful of fashion’s adverse impact on the environment.
Kalpana says when it comes to sustainability in fashion, individuals should buy less and when they do, buy mindfully. — Photos: YAP CHEE HONG/The StarWith the global population becoming more aware about the cost of fast fashion on human beings and the environment, giant clothing retailers have no choice but to get on the sustainability bandwagon to resonate with their consumers.
For Kalpana Singh, 41, who runs D’Sew Club dressmaking classes in Bangsar South, Kuala Lumpur, recycling clothes is merely “trying to solve an issue when you have made a mistake”. “On an individual level, if you want to do something about clothes that benefit the Earth, mend and alter them and use them until the end of their lives,” advises
Zalika studied dressmaking at Bak’s Creation, a sewing school in Senawang, Negri Sembilan, and has worked at Khoon Hooi’s atelier as one of the seamstresses. “You browse Pinterest and see some interesting clothes, but you can’t find them off-the-rack, of course. Sewing allows me to make my own clothes according to how I like them to look,” she says.“Shopping is impulsive and it’s easy to overconsume. But once you know how hard it is to make a piece of clothing, you understand about pricing and workmanship and it’s hard to go back and buy clothes off the rack,” she says.
