- Primary source
- The first source is my intern experience at the commune showroom and Kiki de Montparsse, where I see both wholesale, designer, and retail end. I can get hands on experience with how things are run and what can be translated to affordable and ethical cuts.
- The book: The fashion designer survival guide by Mary Gehlher. This book is my baby and is the first book I read about fashion business and gave me the foundation to business in fashion industry.
- Secondary sources
- https://goodonyou.eco/what-is-a-clothing-supply-chain/
- this is a site that explains the supply chain in fashion, and I personally chose this site because I use their app when I shop to see which stores and brands are sustainable and making an effort on the front of ethics. Supreme is not.
- https://www.sustainyourstyle.org/working-conditions
- this is one of the sites I drew from when researching civil and rights and labour atrocities by the fashion industry. I am constantly looking for more research and insight into the industry issues and solutions, and this site was very informative.
- http://www.greenstrategy.se/sustainable-fashion/what-is-sustainable-fashion/
- this site explains sustaiblilty in fashion and gives a general sense of what the front is like and perceived as by actual designers, and I can see what not to do.
- https://smartasset.com/credit-cards/the-economics-of-fast-fashion
- I can’t beat the fast fashion supply chain model if I don’t understand it, and this site gives a breakdown of the economics behind fast fast fashion and I can see which parts are causing these sustainable and ethical issues and which parts can be reapplied to a sustainable fashion model to make more affordable. If you can’t beat them, join them, then take their shit.

- I like to keep a google docs of a running list of sites that I read over about sustainability, ethics business, fashion, and technology. Here is the google docs

- beyond context
- My favorite movie: the cost of fashion was a major source of rage and inspiration. It is one of the reasons I am here and trying to make fashion a better word
- I posted earlier 5 pictures documents the issues of each step of the supply chain and that is enough pictures to illustrate pollution.
- Questions
- Is creating awareness enough to call one’s self part of the green movement?
- Why is unethical fashion so accepted?
- Why are clothes so cheap?
- Are we the villains in the big scheme of things? and i think yes
