JAKARTA - Applying sustainable fashion is part of a lifestyle that is very important for environmental sustainability. This is because sustainable fashion is now not only a trend, but also a view of oneself.

"Sustainable fashion is not just a trend right now, but it has become a commitment, the statement itself for us is a human figure who is aware of a healthy and more environmentally friendly lifestyle," said KaIND Director, sustainable fashion, in the Fatmawati area, South Jakarta, on Wednesday, February 12, 2025.

Keep in mind that fashion products used in daily life are very influential on waste, which has an impact on the environment. Therefore, to support sustainable fashion requires policies in choosing clothes.

The 'Fashion' we wear affects waste. So if we can choose, choose to be more aware, more mindful, starting from the fiber of clothing we buy," he said.

Choose clothes that use organic make-up basic ingredients. Starting from cotton, linen, to fiber from silkworms, which are very good for use into comfortable clothing on the skin.

Bare minimum ya pakai kain berahan organis, yang ada cotton, ada rami, ada trauma, ada koram. Semua kain itu 100 persen juga breathable, kata Melie.

"If you use the organic material, it's not good on the skin, it's not the breath of the skin. If it's organic, it will pass with the skin," he added.

Not only materials, to support sustainable fashion, you must also pay attention to how a fashion brand produces clothes sold. Try to choose products from companies that implement environmentally friendly production systems.

"Make sure that all production practices carried out have a positive impact on the environment or the surrounding community," concluded Melie Indarto.
