There are mere days til this one leaves shelves forever, so snap yours up whilst you can – and then Brisbane readers rejoice, because our cover girl's appearing at our upcoming PepTalks event on 28th March!

  • In a world first, members of the UK parliament have called for a ‘clothing tax’ to curb textile waste. The proposal, dubbed the ‘one penny tax’, would put a levy of one British penny on every new item of clothing, and it's one of several calls to action in a new report on ways to limit fashion’s environmental footprint.⁣ ⁣ ‘The Interim Report on the Sustainability of the Fashion Industry’ offers a whole host of recommendations for remedying fast-fashion’s ills, including the penalisation of brands with a large footprint; extending a coming ban on virgin plastics to include synthetic fibres; recommending the introduction of darning and mending classes in schools; and a government-enforced ban on landfill and incineration of unused stock – putting a stop to retailers like H&M burning vast quantities of perfectly good clothing.⁣ ⁣ For more on the report – including a take on the gulf between Instagram-perfection and retail-reality - head to our website 👉👉👉
