Hello, my name is Mira Nabulsi.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is Double Tap Sustainable Fashion, my Master of Journalism major research project. It is a digital project that has been created to educate the public about the effects that Instagram has on our consumer culture which is ultimately negatively impacting the environment.<\/p>\n

Here you will learn more about Instagram\u2019s influencer culture, eco-friendly and sustainable clothing, the impact of fashion on the planet, and various solutions to this problem.<\/p>\n

Double Tap Sustainable Fashion came from a personal experience I had with my own shopping habits and Instagram usage. I am a fashion enthusiast who has always liked to dress according to my mood. I do not have a specific sort of style but try to accommodate the many styles that I like to see. My closet is full of clothing, so much that it overwhelms me when I try to wear a specific outfit. Instead of looking for a particular shirt in my wardrobe I used to find myself shopping in order to find a replacement. This is where the inspiration began.<\/p>\n

My small Toronto apartment closet was over-piled with all my clothes making it impossible to find anything, it was just a mess. This is when I started wondering why I always have so much clothes but nothing to wear. I was trying to pinpoint why that is and why my ideas of fashion were always changing. That is when I noticed the number of Instagram influencers that I followed on my own news feed which affected the way I shopped and dressed. I wanted to explore this correlation and understand the effects of fashion on the environment.<\/p>\n

In my daily life I became a conscious consumer, in the sense of using reusable bottles, eliminating unnecessary plastic, recycling at home, but I was unaware of the implications that fashion had on the environment. The fashion industry is a crisis that has been uprising for a long time now but only when I started exploring the issue, did I really understand the implications it actually has on the planet and the need to discuss it more.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, when trying to understand my constant need to shop for new items I was unaware of the reasons. Till one days I noticed how many images I had saved on my Instagram for outfits that I would like to own and wear one day. This is where I started to draw a possible connection that I wanted to explore further.<\/p>\n

I hope this page inspires you to make a change in your lifestyle and help the planet that we call home become a cleaner and long-lasting place.<\/p>\n
