Join Hopewell Valley Central High School student sustainability leaders and fashion researcher Michelle Gabriel at 4 p.m. Sunday, at Hopewell Theater for a free screening and panel discussion of “The True Cost.”
The film explores the environmental and human impacts of the fashion industry. It’s about the clothes people wear, the people who make them, and the impact the industry is having on the world.
The price of clothing has been decreasing for decades, while the human and environmental costs have grown dramatically.
This documentary pulls back the curtain on the untold story and asks viewers to consider, who really pays the price for our clothing?
Michelle Blair Gabriel is a social impact and fashion sustainability strategist, educator, and researcher who speaks widely about the strategies, policies, and laws needed to establish sustainable practices throughout the fashion industry.
Her research investigating how value perceptions in the fashion marketplace are shaped and built through cultural and economic systems aims to drive more equitable dynamics across societies.
Tickets for the free event, at 5 S. Greenwood Ave., Hopewell, N.J., are available on EventBrite.
