In collaboration with Earthlink, on January 11th, 2023, Mr. Karhian Toh, the founder of Supremo Tailor, conducted a talk on sustainable fashion at an event entitled “Looking great comes from making great choices.” The event gathered numerous participants and Mr. Toh had provided valuable insights and tips on how to make better styling choices in order to achieve these aims: to look good, feel good, and do good.
Mr. Toh began by discussing the importance of sustainability in the fashion industry, highlighting the negative impact of fast fashion on the environment and the people who work in the industry. He stressed the need and importance on consumers to be more conscious of their fashion choices and to support brands that prioritise sustainability. He then moved on to share some styling tips that had helped the audience make better clothing choices. He emphasised the importance of investing in high-quality, timeless pieces that can be worn for years to come, rather than buying cheap, trendy items that will quickly fade out of style. He also spoke about the benefits of renting or borrowing clothes, rather than solely purchasing them, as a method to reduce the negative environmental impact of fashion.
Overall, the talk was very informative and inspiring. Mr. Toh’s personal anecdotes and practical tips resonated well with the audience, and many left the event feeling motivated to create more sustainable fashion choices. The event was a great reminder that looking great and being sustainable are not mutually exclusive and that we all have the power to make a difference through our fashion choices.
