Your clothes can change the world. Fashion is one of the largest global industries with hundreds of millions of workers and a huge global environmental footprint. Unfortunately this industry has been able to operate in the dark for decades, but we're realizing now that we need to rethink how we design, produce, buy, and sell our clothes. The good news? Small and large brands around the world are starting to wake up and transform how they do business to protect people and planet. Annick Ireland, founder and CEO of the London-based, mission-driven apparel platform, Immaculate Vegan, joins us to talk about the importance of supporting brands who are building a better path forward, and how all of us can be part of the revolution going on right now in fashion. It's time for us to make a real fashion statement, where we wear our values on our sleeve.
