Fast fashion. Fast food. Fast beauty. In today’s society, these industries run rampant—and most consumers have helped them flourish, whether they like to admit it or not. However, one thing they all have in common is their negative impact on the environment. By doing things “fast,” these industries steadily contribute to increased greenhouse gas emissions, overuse of landfills and water contamination, just to name a few. Enter the “slow” movement—a more clean, sustainable and environmentally-friendly approach to production—where fashion, food and beauty brands are diligently working to create products that are better for both humans and the planet.

As the Sustainability Manager at AungCrown, I want to highlight how our eco-friendly hats are making a significant impact in the market. The current situation is alarming: consumers are increasingly aware of environmental issues and are seeking sustainable options. Many brands still rely on non-eco-friendly materials, which not only harm the environment but also alienate conscious consumers. At AungCrown, we recognized this gap and decided to take action. We developed a line of eco-friendly hats made from organic cotton and recycled materials. This innovative approach not only reduces waste but also meets the growing demand for sustainable products. Our hats are stylish, comfortable, and environmentally friendly.

I recently received a Distinction for my latest research submission, where I had to reimagine a local fashion industry based in 2040. The platform I decided to present my scenario for the 2040 sustainable fashion industry, was a reimagined digital Vogue magazine. What I imagine Vogue to look like in 2040 is an online magazine where the viewer can read about sustainable regenerative farming, the people who are behind the label are being accoladed for sustainable and ethical practices, that have the worldview in mind before profit, rather than just promoting the end product. Imagine if we were to purchase a hard copy of Vogue Magazine, it could be planted into your garden to grow a Vogue Garden. All these things are speculative ideas to my future scenario. To view my research that has been written into a reimagined Vogue article, it is best to view landscape on the iPhone, or alternatively on a laptop. Enjoy! I would love to hear your comments on what you think of my reimagined fashion system.

BRAND | Insights Are brand partnerships hitting the ‘social change’ mark with Gen Z?    🧥 Patagonia partnered with Bionic and Gore-Tex — companies dedicated to collecting ocean plastics and transforming them into fabrics, in a ground-breaking effort to revolutionise winter fashion. Together, they crafted the warmest and most sustainable winter jacket. 🌊  Despite Costa Rica’s daily production of approximately 4 tonnes of plastic waste, nearly one-fifth of this waste would pollute local waterways and beaches if not for Bionic's intervention.   Over a two-year endeavour, the trio eliminated ‘forever chemicals’ from the process, establishing a new benchmark for eco-friendly outerwear. Notably, 50% of the fabric in Patagonia’s new Stormshadow Parka is sourced from ocean plastics, ensuring wearers stay dry without relying on toxic chemicals.   It’s inspiring to see brands like Patagonia forming partnerships with like-minded companies, leading the way towards a more sustainable fashion industry 💚 It makes long-term sense and therefore it’s credible and believable for consumers — a winning combination.   Read more about the process here: https://lnkd.in/eiE-H9wZ   Don’t forget to check out https://hubs.li/Q026pYqc0 every day for insights on Gen Z and Social Change.   Gillian Grainge Gabe Davies Charles Conn #socialchange #patagonia #genz #sustainable #oceanplastics
