There's been a lot of chat about fast fashion lately.

Or rather, there's been a lot of chat about how to tackle fast fashion. One of the biggest causes of pollution, waste, and exploitation in the world, the industry's actions have triggered a generous response from campaigners, individuals, and groups all asking the same crucial question: where do we go from here? But Sustainable Fashion Dublin's latest event isn't just about the future of fashion - it's about the future of womanhood in Ireland in general. And how best to celebrate that. Taking place in Dublin's The Tara Building this Sunday March 8, the Sisters Are Doing It For The Future event will see a host of influential and inspiring Irish women chatting all about creativity, diversity, and of course, ethical fashion. A panel discussion will tackle the latter, as Heather Barnes, Rosemarie Kamana (Artist & Sustainable Fashion Designer) and CarrieAnn Moran (Sustainability Manager at NCBI Retail) join Geraldine Carton and Taz Kelleher to chat about the myriad of ways the fashion industry affects women. Around 80 percent of workers in garment factories are women, many of whom are not paid a living wage. The clothes they make are then sold here in the west, through marketing campaigns targeting a predominantly female audience - making them feel less than, so they buy more. The event will also feature comedy, spoken word poetry, and music from performers including Molly Sterling, Emma Doran, and Fionnuala Jones, as well as treats from Nutshed and cocktails from Roe&Co. There are worse ways to spend a Sunday, in fairness. You can find out more about Sustainable Fashion Dublin's International Women's Day event here.
