The Singapore Social star and fashion creative clears out her closet in support of sustainable fashion and charity
For many fashion lovers, one of their biggest woes is their ever-expanding collection of clothing and accessories. But are you really making the most of your wardrobe?
According to a study in 2018 by European moving company Movinga, consumers in 20 countries (including the United States, France and Italy) believed that 26 to 55 per cent of their wardrobe had not been worn in the last 12 months. The average percentage in reality, however, was 53 to 88 per cent. These clothing are eventually donated, resold or recycled at best, or disposed into landfills at worst.
Now take a look back at your closet—what’s the reality for you?
To mark the 50th anniversary of Earth Day on April 22, Vestiaire Collective, a global resale platform for luxury pre-owned fashion is urging fashion lovers to consider the environmental impact of their shopping habits with the Wardrobe Reality Check Challenge.
