Julia is keen to be a conscientious consumer, and she is also concerned about the environmental consequences of the fashion business. With global clothes consumption at an all-time high, it’s no surprise that irresponsible environmental policies deplete the planet’s valuable resources. Julia avoided adding to her carbon footprint by purchasing a fair-trade hemp outfit from the London-based apparel business ‘Thought.’ So, how did people respond to Julia’s project?

Negative Reactions
The most frequent reaction she has received is disgust. Some people believe that wearing the same outfit every day is unsanitary. Her response is thought-provoking. Julia said, “I simply remind them: this isn’t a hygiene project.” I wash it as required. I arrive at work in pristine condition. So many individuals wear uniforms, yet they are not considered to be filthy.” Another thought-provoking insight from Julia’s one outfit, 100 days challenge.
