Design. Dilemma. Degrowth - Degrowth will be painful, therefore it must be made sexy

The impact of fashion industry on the environment is evident and manifest in its sheer numbers. The industry accounts for 17–20 percent of global industrial water pollution (Kant 2012). It also contributes between four and ten percent of global carbon emissions (Sadowski et al. 2021). The fashion industry can therefore be labeled as a ‘climate killer’ whose overproduction is consuming our resources on a global scale.
