TheIndustry.fashion & TheIndustry.beauty

When considering the beating heart of a thriving fashion industry, three Ps spring to mind: People, Planet & Purpose. The necessary shift to sustainability and circularity for the fashion industry requires an entirely new approach to doing business, and a committed, motivated and diverse workforce will be crucial to delivering this. We are therefore delighted to announce the launch of TheIndustry.fashion People, Planet & Purpose Awards 2025 to recognise the fashion brands, retailers and designers placing these essential three pillars at the centre of their strategies. Entries are now open so please enter by 29th November for a chance to win and celebrate with us on 27th February.    Elsewhere in fashion, Senior News Editor Chloé Burney sat down with Dune London founder Daniel Rubin for an exclusive interview about 40 years of business and the magic ingredients for a successful shoe business in an ever-evolving retail landscape.    In beauty, none other than Jane Lauder announced her exit from Estée Lauder , the business founded by her grandmother in 1946. Content Marketing & Events Executive Katie Ross also interviewed recent winner at July’s TheIndustry.beauty Innovators Awards, REN Clean Skincare’s VP Marketing Kirsten Thies about the brand’s sustainability mission and retaining its loyal customer base.   Also in this roundup, Kering is hit by the luxury slowdown, what the new Labour budget means for fashion and beauty retail, the British Beauty Council launches its newest fund, and ASOS.com’ partnership with rental platform Hirestreet to create the “biggest UK retailer-rental subscription service to date”. #fashion #beauty #fashionnews #beautynews #newsroundup

TheIndustry.fashion Awards is a brand new awards scheme to recognise fashion brands and retailers who are pushing boundaries and driving positive change. Fashion’s future depends on brands and retailers placing People, Planet and Purpose at the centre of their strategies. The necessary shift to circularity requires an entirely new approach to doing business, while consumers and investors alike are placing as much value on ethics and sustainable practice as they are on fashionability and financial performance. These awards have been designed to reward those businesses and individuals leading the way for positive change. Categories will recognise excellence in everything from inclusive marketing campaigns to sustainable sourcing. Our judging panel has been drawn from industry leading experts in the field of conscious fashion and business, who will undertake a rigorous process to select the winners.  Bay Garnett Scott Wimsett Melanie Rickey Jacynth Bassett Mandi Lennard Tamsin Lejeune Gemma Metheringham Tamara Cincik Daniel Peters Orsola de Castro Suzanne Ellingham Laboni Saha Natalie Binns Rachel Arthur The trophies will be presented at a chic cocktail party and awards ceremony staged at The Corinthia London on the 27th February 2025 attended by fashion business leaders and select VIPs.
