Love Island partnering with eBay is a huge open-toed sandaled step in the right direction for sustainable fashion | ✍️ Emmie Harrison-West

‘There’s awater bottle?’ I scoffed to my friends in 2015, followed by countless expletives back when the fabled reality dating show first hit our screens.

Except, when Love Island hits our screens on Monday at 9pm on ITV – this year, I’ll be watching it.

For its eighth series, the show’s bosses said it was working towards being ‘a more eco-friendly production’.

I haven’t shopped at either since I realised that I was simply being lazy for shopping on these fast-fashion sites.

It relies on fast turnarounds to its 24.9million annual customers, flash sales and cheap fibres.
