JUNK
We’ve been talking about sustainable fashion for years, yet little has changed. Let’s start by understanding what sustainability really means for the textile industry. “Junk” tells the stories and shows the images of the people and ecosystems directly affected by the negative impact of fast fashion.
It’s not just a project to raise awareness but also a narrative to give all of us the certainty that changing things is still possible, and we all have a role to play.
“Junk” unfolds in six episodes, each dedicated to a different issue caused by fast fashion, filmed in six different countries: in Chile and Ghana, the textile dumps of the world; in Indonesia, we discover how the production of artificial fibers is annihilating the country’s biodiversity. In Bangladesh, we delve into the working conditions. In India, we explore how we’ve managed to change millennia of cotton culture. And finally, in Italy, because we have problems here too, they are just sometimes less visible than others.
We all have full closets of problematic clothes, with “Junk” we want to give a more honest and concrete meaning to the word “sustainability” to understand, all together, how to challenge the status quo of the fashion system.
