Disrupting Fast Fashion: A Case Study about Social and Environmental Innovation

Initiated in 2018, Disrupting Fast Fashion: A Case Study about Social and Environmental Innovation was a four-year project intended to recognize and undo the harm that fast fashion precipitates at its origin and in Canada, from both a mutual benefit and environmental point of view. Cornerstones of the research include a re-imagining of the roles of anonymous garment workers and plight of fast fashion, to create a socially innovative and alternative income producing avenue to support apparel skills training, sustainable employment, and community education.
