The fashion industry has been undergoing significant changes in recent years as customers and businesses try to find more sustainable and environmentally friendly ways of working. Many parts of the traditional system need to be completely overhauled because they are no longer fit for purpose when it comes to production and waste in a world facing a climate catastrophe. One industry name who knows something about transforming the status quo is Moda Operandi founder Lauren Santo Domingo, who helped to introduce pre-order luxury shopping to consumers, a retail model which she believes is key to a more sustainable system.

“With a pre-order, a look is only produced when there is proven demand,” she tells us. “It is one of the most conscious ways to tap into what is next in fashion – and if everyone were to shop this way, there would be much less waste in the fashion cycle.”

Put simply, fast fashion is bad for Mother Earth. Whether it’s a contribution to the landfill or the poor treatment of factory workers, the fashion industry is responsible for heavy pollution, waste and violence. With a bustling thrift scene and hordes of creatives handcrafting their art, Denver is quickly becoming a hub for slow, sustainable and ethical fashion. Many shops in Denver remain committed to the slow fashion movement.

An influencer may wear an outfit in just one post before banishing it to the depths of the closet. It may stay there, unworn and unused, until it’s time for the occasional wardrobe cleanout. At best, the garment will be resold or donated. At worst, it’ll end up in a landfill.

Detoure, an online consignment shop, wants to change that.

The company, which describes itself as an “influencer thrift store,” is trying to lessen the burden on overflowing landfills by tackling influencers’ overflowing closets.

Accelerating trend cycles are only adding to the fast fashion industry’s nearly insurmountable toll on the environment. Detoure sells influencers’ trendy clothing — most of which is either new with tags or has been worn only once — for a small fraction of the cost of buying the garments new.

“The way social media’s going, influencers wear the clothes once for a photo and then they
