BAGHDAD, March 25 — In a palm grove north of Baghdad, bemused Iraqi shepherds looked on as models paraded second-hand garments down an improvised catwalk, seeking to raise awareness of the fashion industry’s environmental impact.
The global fashion industry accounted for two per cent of greenhouse gas emissions in 2019, according to the World Resources Institute. The palm grove event showcased fluorescent green puffer jackets, long black leather coats, ample double-breasted blazers, and modern takes on traditional costumes. “The goal is not to focus only on clothes, but also abandoned orchards, palm trees that disappear every day,” Qassem said.
Ahmed Taher, a 22-year-old stylist who put together the sets for the show, said “second-hand pieces are clothes of excellent quality”. But in Iraq, where the UN estimates nearly one-third of the 42 million inhabitants live in poverty, many wear used clothing out of necessity.
