The UNBOUND project aims to educate and spread awareness about sustainable and ethical fashion. We also want to use this opportunity to promote and work with The Social Studio, who are devoted to advocating and educating people on sustainable and ethical fashion. The UNBOUND project has worked with a range of designers to create a virtual 3D exhibit of their garment and discuss their relationship with fashion.We want to encourage discussion about the negative effects that our fashion industry is having on the world, as well as how people can contribute to resolving these issues. The fashion industry contributes largely to climate change and the exploitation and abuse of many people across the world. Our project is intended to encourage everyone to do their part in improving the fashion industry.
