\"movie<\/a><\/p>\n

Throughout my time writing about sustainable fashions, I\u2019ve seen the industry steadily evolve to give shoppers more\u00a0ethically-made, high fashion looks<\/a>\u00a0without compromising on responsibility to the environment and their customers. From grassroots organizations to company leaders, individuals are working tirelessly to change the clothing manufacturing and retail processes. And now filmmakers are using their talents to strengthen the movement!<\/p>\n

Marci Zaroff<\/a>,\u00a0a founder, pioneer and designer of eco-fashion styles, and director Michelle Vey have partnered to give audiences an in-depth look into how their favorite garments are created and the impact their purchasing choices have on future generations in their documentary Thread<\/em>. The film, which is scheduled to be in theaters next year, exposes the ugly truths of the\u00a0\u201cfast-fashion\u201d industry<\/a>, including the use of toxic chemicals to dye clothing, overconsumption, and waste of resources. Furthermore,\u00a0the trailer (below)\u00a0is a glimpse into the producers\u2019 intended message: the true cost of fashion is not what is listed on the price tag; rather, it\u2019s the affects it has on the environment, consumers\u2019 health and communities around the world.<\/p>\n
