About Us

ALTR Magazine is a digital publication that aims to bring forth a new vision of how we see and interact with fashion. Like a traditional fashion magazine, we provide fashion news, style inspiration, and lifestyle tips. However, we push beyond fashion as simply an aesthetic concept or a consumer industry. We ask challenging questions about sustainability, ethics, and social and environmental justice. Questions that are not discussed frequently enough in the mainstream fashion industry. 

ALTR is an open resource for anyone and everyone who wants to learn more about Sustainable Fashion. We invite you to challenge traditional perspectives of sustainable fashion that think it’s all about leggings made out of recycled plastic. Sustainable fashion is a growing movement and an ever-changing philosophy. There is no such thing as “perfect sustainability.” We are truly all just figuring it out together, and this magazine is more a collection of musings, discussions, and discoveries than a strict handbook or manual for sustainability.

There is a lot to learn about the environmental, social, and economic issues of the fashion industry, and as we discover the solutions we want to share and discuss them with you. Our hope that you will feel empowered to ask these tough questions too, and confident in your ability to interact with fashion consciously.

How we started

ALTR Magazine was born out of the recognition that fashion has been mistreating the planet and the people on it for a long time. And while we love fashion, destruction and exploitation is not a trade off we are willing to make. “Sustainable fashion” is a remedy to this standard of operation. While it is a complex term, at its core it calls for a fashion industry that confronts its negative social and environmental impact, and tries to reduce and make up for the damage caused.

ALTR is the brainchild of the Fashion Team working on behalf of the Global Climate Pledge, an organization that works globally to bring sustainable solutions into the private sector. We are a group of individual consumers, just like you, who recognize fashion’s higher potential, and we are committed to working together to make that potential a reality.
