Climate anxiety isn’t just a feeling—it’s a lived reality. In the midst of Earth Month, conversations about sustainability have flooded our feeds. But for garment workers in the Global South, climate change isn’t just a topic for discussion—it’s a daily struggle. Scorching heat waves turn factory floors into furnaces, floods wash away livelihoods, and supply chain disruptions leave workers without pay. When factories shut down due to climate disasters, it’s not a headline—it’s food off the table.

In 2024, global temperatures soared to over 100°F, with June 2024 recording 3.4°F above average across the U.S., painting a grim picture of future climate conditions. Imagine these current climate conditions, but even hotter. And imagine you’re a worker in a factory. You have bills to pay and a family to feed so you push past the discomfort. You rely on incentives, so you move past the dizziness, the headaches, the fainting even.

Which places it, according to most sources, as the third largest polluter global industry. But that pollution and exploitation isn’t shared globally. Largely, the most affected by this pollution, and in turn climate change, are those that live in the global south.

I remember walking into the Brandy Melville flagship store in Westwood, Los Angeles, for the first time as a 20-something. My friend was attending UCLA at the time and was ecstatic to show me the new shopping spot that all the cool college kids were talking about. Like many other devoted fans past and present, I immediately swooned over the white brick walls and the carefree California-inspired aesthetic.

Black creatives have been the inspiration of fashion brands for decades. Spanning before the boom of hip-hop culture influencing fashion and style in the 70s and leading the way to more contemporary creatives like Rihanna, Telfar Clemens and Pharrell creating and designing for global fashion brands to create trends and reinvigorate the industry, black artists, creatives, and designers have continuously showcased their talent and innovation in the fashion world.
