Description
Retracing fashion's steps to build in sustainability
Understanding how and where fashion retailers are tackling sustainability is critical: these changes – even seemingly small ones – can have a huge impact. Our panel explored:
How are fashion retailers creating products built to last, and reducing overconsumption? Exploring materials efficiency and longevity, ways of designing differently, and approaches to limiting overproduction;
Which projects and partnerships are driving change? Optimising collaboration between brands, suppliers, industry bodies and beyond;
Changing consumer behaviour: exploring the role fashion retail plays, and uncovering initiatives to drive this.
