Meet one of our co-founders Sophie Nakamura.
Sophie's personal statement:
When I was 13, I learnt about modern slavery in the garment industry. I was horrified by the ‘ignorance is bliss’ attitude that the adults I looked up to adopted, many of them knowing of these issues but choosing to support companies which use modern slavery. From then on, it became my mission to do what I can to raise awareness of the human rights abuses which occur in producing our clothing. When Louise and I had the idea of the Clothing Library, we thought it could help tackle these ethical challenges by diverting student spending from unethical brands, along with addressing environmental and affordability problems, at a community level. Our vision is that one day, libraries like these will be accessible in all universities in Australia and form an unquestioned part of the university system.
