Welcome to The Ethical Edit
Here, we take time to understand what we wear.
The Ethical Edit is Amane’s journal - a space for reflection, exploration, and quiet questioning.
Twice a week, we publish new articles that look at fashion not only as style, but as material, impact, and intention.
We write about what fabrics are made of. Where they come from. Who produces them, and under what conditions. We share insights on modest fashion, circular design, and textile innovation. We also take a closer look at what’s changing - in laws, in markets, and in the language brands use.
No loud headlines. No greenwashing. Just clear, documented content, written to help you understand, choose, and reconnect with what clothes you.
Whether you’re here to learn, question, or slow down: welcome.
