Can Madison Ditch Fast Fashion?
Have you ever looked at the tag on your shirt and stopped to wonder who grew your clothes? In a world where roughly 30% of the microplastics in our oceans come from synthetic clothing material, it’s more critical than ever to build a connection to the fibers we wear every day. As the founder of the Midwest Linen Revival, Leslie Schroeder is leading a movement in Madison to make the fashion industry more sustainable.
The Midwest Linen Revival is hosting a three-day event series called “Field To Frock” to build awareness for a local, sustainable fashion ecosystem.
