Traditionally and culturally speaking, our clothes and the dressing style are heavily dependent on natural fibers. Moreover, our parents and grandparents have always been wearing tailored clothes and this wave of fast, ready-made fashion only started a few decades ago due to the advent of globalization. However, now we know just how non-ecofriendly and straining readymade, fast fashion can be. Maybe this is why fashion-forward people have started to drift more towards customized and tailored products that, along with being sustainably made, are cruelty-free and minimalistic in nature.
