ONE DRESS, 100 DAYS
Many people, including some celebrities, wear the same clothing day after day because they
want to concentrate on more important things. However, Julia Mooney’s “One dress, 100
days” challenge was done for a different reason. Julia, an art teacher at a high school in
Moorestown, New Jersey, wore the same dress for the first 100 days of school to attract
people’s attention to the environmental costs of fast fashion.
For those who have never heard of fast fashion, it is about big clothing companies producing
stylish clothes very fast and at low cost. It allows everyone to adopt the latest fashion trends
immediately. These clothes cost so little that people often wear them just once or twice
and throw them away. In the USA alone, over 10 billion kilograms of clothes end up in
rubbish bins every year.
The material most often used for making fast fashion clothes is polyester. The way it is
produced plays a role in global warming. Washing clothes made of polyester leads to oceans
being polluted with micro plastics. Even fast fashion clothing made from a natural material
like cotton has its disadvantages, too. A lot of water is needed to grow cotton, so water
sources are often used too heavily. To keep the cotton plants healthy, farmers use pesticides
which pollute the water and soil and are dangerous to local people.
Julia says the idea for the challenge was born when her husband said to her, “I’m sure you
wouldn’t be able to wear one dress for more than a week.” Julia decided to prove that he was
wrong. Choosing the perfect dress for the challenge was quite hard. Finally, Julia picked
a simple beige dress. She said, “When the challenge started, it was the end of summer,
so I needed a dress that I could wear at the beginning of winter, too. As it got colder, I also
wore some tights and a jacket and sometimes put on a scarf, and the dress suited all of them
perfectly.”
The experiment started discussions among Julia’s students about fast fashion and caught
the attention of journalists from various fashion magazines. Julia was delighted when four
other teachers from her school also decided to wear the same clothes for 100 days. Julia
says the experiment has made her change her attitude towards clothes. “I’m probably going
to reduce the number of clothes in my wardrobe, and try to use second-hand shops.”
Hopefully, people across the world will do the same, and follow the “three Rs” rule - reduce,
reuse, recycle.
