However , let ’ s look at the impact it is having on the world .
• Fast fashion emits 1.2 billion tons of CO2 per year , more than air travel and shipping COMBINED !
• Fast fashion produces 20 % of global wastewater , contaminating rivers , oceans , drinking water and soil .
• Discarded clothing made of synthetic polymers can sit in landfills for 200 YEARS !
The next fact , is that 97 % of fast fashion is produced overseas in developing countries with poor labour laws and human rights protections . We will save this debate for another day , as many of these developing countries rely heavily on the employment from British companies . However , the way in which people are treated ( predominantly women and children ) and the way they are paid in order to make a small percentage of profit is despicable and should be researched further , monitored closer and spoken about louder .
Where do you see yourself in 5 years time ? At the moment I am taking things step by step . I am currently having to close my website every week due to high demand . In the not too distant future , I will be looking at purchasing bigger premises and hiring more , full time local individuals that can assist in the development of the business . The way in which Molby the Label has grown in just 6 months has been life changing , so in 5 years I would like to think the possibilities are endless , but I do not want to get too ahead of myself at this early stage .
Who would you most like to dress ? I would love to dress the girls from HAIM , I absolutely love dressing two or three people at a time as I love making looks which complement each other by playing around with colour , prints or shapes . The HAIM girls have a super cool , laid back look and they ’ re not afraid to experiment with fashion .
What can we expect to see in SS21 ? You can expect lots of clashing prints , bright colours and plenty of gingham ! Summer is my favourite time to design and I have so many exciting plans coming up !
What does your brand offer which other brands don ’ t ? As every single piece is handmade to order we can alter and change any design to best suit our customer .
