Wear We Are Journal

Wear We Are Journal originated as a project to encourage students to pursue a career in the sustainability sector of fashion. We engage students with environmental and social issues of the fashion industry, by supporting in-depth research and facilitating a knowledge-exchange with professionals. Our team currently consists of fashion students and recent graduates that share a passion for sustainability, and want to change the industry for the better.

Because our contributors are no sustainability experts yet, every article includes interviews with industry thought-leaders and is reviewed by one or more professionals. The professionals we work with make sure that our content is factually accurate, presents a balanced discussion, and offers sufficient context about the topic at hand. Since each issue talks about different topics, our professional board is always changing. Below, you can find the professionals we have worked together with in the past.
