Problems fast fashion causes our planet:
The fashion industry is considered to be the largest industry in the world. Several years ago, while attending a seminar at the TexWorld Trade Show in New York City, I learned that the average American discards 40 pounds of clothing a year. Only a week ago I observed a woman dumping three huge trash bags, obviously packed with clothing, into a clothing bin. According to the World Economic Forum, an estimated 85 per cent of all textiles go to the dump every year,
The need for personal apparel sustainability is immediate.

Years ago Color Me Beautiful caused a global sensation.
That summer I took my children to the pool. Something had caused a friend to look fantastic! I couldn’t wait to ask, she couldn’t wait to tell me.
She had had her color and wardrobe analyzed at Color Me Beautiful. She looked wonderful!
For Christmas that year my husband gave me the entire package. Thinking I was an autumn, I dressed in green and brown. But at the franchise I found myself draped in purple and hot pink! Everyone else in the class raved at how good I looked. Home I came. Items were returned to the store, sold, given away, discarded. The walls moved back. I learned I am a blue winter, which means the colors that look best on me are those in the winter palette most like the colors in the summer palette. I can also wear some of the summer colors.
I then had my husband, son, and daughter analyzed. Since then we discard almost nothing, buy almost nothing. We need almost no closet space because everything in our closets is coordinated. I have almost no clothes, but I always have something to wear. I’m still wearing blouses I made thirty years ago. They have been washed many times. They still look new.
Unfortunately many women thought they could set up color analysis businesses without the necessary training. Analyzing women who were summers as winters, etc., caused color analysis to be discredited.
