I’m a Capricorn, and I can’t say for certain how deeply I connect with my sign. I started reading up on astrology around the same time my family was building fairy gardens (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets had just come out). This much is undeniably true: I save all of my money without any intention of spending it. Classic Capricorn.
Though, that’s changing. Each of these vegan-minded ethical fashion brands leaves me so inspired that I’ve now got a real reason to break out my wallet. By investing in quality statement pieces that last for the long haul, one cuts down on their personal amount of textile waste. By making responsible purchases from companies with ethical best practices and modes of production, we can support local communities and combat fast fashion together.
So, read up on your friends’ signs too — you may just discover you’re more Cancer than Leo when it all boils down to fashion.

You’ve always been one for adventure. What surprises will the coming autumn bring you? Or, where may your courageous and energetic spirit meander?
