Sustainability is a hot topic among brands and consumers alike, and for a good reason. The fashion industry's environmental and social impact — from greenhouse gas emissions to biodiversity loss and microplastics, to the mistreatment of garment workers and systemic racial injustices — can no longer be swept under the rug. Across the industry, it seems like everyone is talking about sustainability. But talk isn't enough.
Over the past few years, numerous brands committed to lessening their impact on the planet. From lofty sustainability goals to investments in new technologies and bio-fabricated materials to multi-stakeholder initiatives across the industry, the consensus is the same — radical systems change is needed to transform the wasteful industry into one that puts people and the planet first.
However, despite this understanding, fashion continues to fall short of transforming its good intentions into tangible action and meaningful impact. After decades of operating 'business as usual' and ignoring blatant cracks in the system, the pandemic has forced fashion not only to acknowledge its flaws but to finally take action in finding solutions to solve fashion's most pressing concerns.
