Buying more for less and yet following the latest fashion trend is the purpose of many shoppers. At iamgood#21 we want to dig deeper into the seemingly glamorous fast fashion industry and shed light on possible ways to make more sustainable decisions in this field.

The fashion designer Martina Öttl spent the last 1.5 years in South America, where she volunteered in a women empowerment project and worked at a sweat shop. As she was so inspired by the people she met and learned a lot from them, Martina decided to give back and start her very own slow fashion project.

She founded her own fashion label MartinaLydiaÖttl (https://instagram.com/martinalydiaoettl) which is based on donations, crowdfunding and is invested in sustainable and partly handmade materials. The collection she brought home with her from South America will be sold in Vienna. Martina also plans on giving talks on slow fashion and how to make a difference in the fashion industry. The profit made by the sales will be used for fair wages for the producers as well as to support women empowerment projects in South America.

After the speaker session we focus on action points. If you want to learn more about how to be a sustainable fashion champion, our workshops will be perfect for you. The workshops will focus on how to REFUSE/REDUCE/REUSE/REPAIR/RECYCLE/RESEARCH when it comes to fashion.

Together we will take a look beyond the price tag of our clothes.
