My socials have been inundated with videos of the mesmerising Galliano for Maison Margiela Couture show over the past few days. Rightly so, it felt a once in a generation moment that even those with no interest in fashion couldn’t help but appreciate. In stark contrast, Copenhagen Fashion week kicked off earlier this week and it also feels everyone is talking about it. No longer the poor relation to Paris, London, New York and Milan, Copenhagen’s strong moral compass and rigorous focus on ethical sustainability stands out against a global backdrop of political and social unrest and feels more vital than ever. The event was opened by the CFW CEO Cecilie Thorsmark who purposely reminded the audience: “Democracy is not to be taken for granted. In this super scary context, to put it straight, let’s all remind ourselves that from our privileged ground in this industry, we must make the most of our voice, and the most of our platforms for something better.” CFW back this up as well; To show at the event, all brands on its schedule must meet 18 minimum requirements governed by six pillars of ethical business: strategic direction, design, smart material choices, working conditions, consumer engagement and show production. For example, brands have to prove transparency across their supply chain and that at least 50% of their collection made from certified, preferred, upcycled or recycled materials. CFW offsets all carbon emissions from its own activities and has reduced carbon emissions by 50% compared to 2019. Then there is the talent, which are becoming increasingly well recieved – brands such as Saks Potts Stine Goya A/S and OpéraSPORT are all building international followings and gaining momentum with more global buyers at the shows than ever. The big news was that Ganni A/S, the mainstay of the event and true heavyweight didn’t show in favour of delivering other smaller international activations. However, they did the most ‘Ganni’ thing possible and instead had an event that showcased seven up-and-coming labels via its in-house innovation platform Fabrics of the Future, using innovations such as Celium from Polybion, a pioneering alternative to synthetic fabrics made from petroleum, and Savian from BioFluff, a plant-based fur. So, props to Copenhagen and those who travelled to support it. The industry is diversifying and CFW feels an increasing blueprint for positive change. DHR Global #fashionbusiness #fashionnews

🇮🇹 Ah, Italians and their pastas, pizzas, and impeccable sense of fashion. Just a few of the many things that the world envies us. But where do they come from? Something we are probably less known for: a knack for adaptability and innovation. A trait that has put us at the forefront of #recycling, achieving a staggering 79.4% waste reutilization – more than double the European average – with the textile-fashion sector at the helm (Il Sole 24 Ore). And it's this very industry that stole the spotlight at this year's edition of the Green Carpets Fashion Awards in Los Angeles. Read all about it in my article for ECONYL® brand. 👇 #circulardesign #fashionindustry #circulareconomy #sustainablefashion

Closing out London Fashion Week couldn't have been more meaningful than engaging in discussions about the future of the fashion industry! Last night, the Reskinned Team attended the Blue Earth Summit's event, 'Future of Fashion.' The evening featured an insightful panel discussion with industry luminaries and showcased compelling pitches from forward-thinking companies like CELYS® Compostable Polyester, XEROS, LAYBL, and BEEN London. Surrounded by a community of like-minded organisations, all committed to finding sustainable solutions, the atmosphere was nothing short of inspiring. Each presentation underscored the shared dedication to forging a more sustainable fashion future. It's heartening to witness so many companies aligning their efforts towards a common goal. A key takeaway from the event was the resounding call for systemic change within the fashion industry. The need to challenge existing norms, adopt sustainable practices, and embrace innovative solutions was a recurring theme throughout the evening. It's clear that a collective effort is essential for creating a lasting impact and reshaping the fashion landscape. As we reflect on the discussions and insights from the 'Future of Fashion' event, it only reinforces our commitment at Reskinned to continue pushing boundaries and contributing to the positive transformation of the fashion industry. Here's to a future where sustainability is not just a buzzword but an integral part of the fashion narrative. 🌍 #FutureOfFashion #BlueEarthSummit #LondonFashionWeek #SustainableFashion #ReskinnedTeam #FashionInnovation

As the fashion world wrapped up its global tour from Paris to New York, Copenhagen Fashion Week (CPHFW) took a significant leap towards sustainability, setting a new precedent for the industry. Under the visionary leadership of CEO Cecilie Thorsmark, Copenhagen has emerged not just as a city known for its hygge or the success of brands like Ganni, but as the epicentre of fashion's sustainable transformation. This year, CPHFW introduced stringent sustainability criteria for participating brands, a pioneering move reflecting Copenhagen's commitment to reshaping the fashion narrative. The week was packed with discussions on diversity, creative industry challenges, and supply chain innovations, turning the event into not just a showcase of style but a forum for solving fashion's most pressing issues. The environmental impact of traditional fashion weeks cannot be overstated. It's estimated that the global fashion industry's events collectively contribute significantly to carbon emissions, with activities surrounding these events—from international flights to energy use in venues—exacerbating the issue. The real issue lies in the industry's overproduction and overconsumption, fueled by the "brainprint" of these glamorous showcases. Fashion weeks have historically driven the demand for not only high-end collections but also mass-market knock-offs, contributing significantly to environmental degradation. Copenhagen Fashion Week stands as a beacon of change in this context. By rethinking sustainability and responsibility, CPHFW is challenging the status quo, urging the industry to consider its cultural imprint beyond the runway. It's a bold move, indeed, but one that highlights the critical role fashion weeks can play in making the sector more responsible and less environmentally damaging. As we reflect on the environmental footprint of fashion weeks, Copenhagen's initiative offers a hopeful vision of the future. It's a call to action for the industry at large to embrace sustainability not as a trend but as a fundamental ethos. The question now is, will other fashion capitals follow suit? #copenhagenfashionweek #sustainabilityinfashion #fashionindustry #environmentalimpact #innovation

Sustainability in fashion still seems to have an “it’s too big an issue to fix” mentality, where, if sustainable steps were made more accessible and normalised, we move beyond the educational/awareness phase into tangibility. To rework an entire industry takes leadership from the top. It’s refreshing to see responsibility shouldered by organisations like this that have the positioning to make an impact, shifting toward a more environmental future. It’s time to move beyond an apathetic approach and I love seeing articles like this ♻️ #SustainableFashion #bof #copenhagenfashionweek
In partnership with Copenhagen Fashion Week Today, traditional components of the global fashion industry continue to perpetuate legacy strategies and seasonal consumption patterns. As fashion weeks receive even greater attention from global audiences, the culture of consumption that underpins them must be continuously examined — particularly as these objectives are increasingly at odds with the goals of international regulators, most prominently in the European Union. While running as a bi-annual fashion showcase like its counterparts, Copenhagen Fashion Week (CPHFW) is an organisation prepared to disrupt what fashion weeks look like, who they serve and what their lasting impact could become. Since the Autumn/Winter 2023 season, the event — spearheaded by CEO Cecilie Thorsmark — has enforced 18 minimum sustainability requirements for showing brands, which span six key areas across the fashion value chain: strategic design, material choices, working conditions across the supply chain, consumer engagement, set design and show production. To complement this framework, the organisation has invested in a talk programme of panels and discussions to a live audience, running alongside its showcase and aiming to address and unpack some of the fashion industry’s most pertinent issues, from supply chain complexities to championing next generation talent.

Is banning the best decision ? Here are the reasons why I'm puzzled by Copenhagen Fashion Week's recent choice. ⛔️ Inconsistencies in defining exotic leather. The article mentions a ban on "wild animal skins" but the definition of what constitutes an exotic skin may vary widely. Let's take the exemple of ostrich leather. While some may consider it as exotic due to its rarity, others may argue that it does not fit the same category as skins sourced from endangered or protected species. In our case, ostrich leather is a byproduct of the food industry and banning it will generate more waste and a lack of income to French farmers, tanners and craftsmen. ✅ Empowering sustainability. By setting stricter standards and providing support, the fashion week organizers are actively guiding brands towards more sustainable and ethical production methods. This initiative pushes brands to reconsider their sourcing and production processes, ultimately fostering positive change within the fashion industry. In conclusion, it's essential to find a balance between preserving certain practices by defining clearly terms and driving industry-wide improvements for a more sustainable and ethical future. What is your opinion about it ?
Copenhagen Fashion Week will ban collections containing exotic skins or feathers from its runways from next year, becoming the highest profile event on the fashion calendar to take a stance against the increasingly controversial materials. Over the last few years, brands including CHANEL and Burberry and regional fashion weeks like Melbourne, Helsinki and Stockholm have introduced similar prohibitions. But alligator handbags and python heels still don’t carry the same taboo as fur, which has been ditched by a much broader array of brands and event organisers. Copenhagen’s move is part of a broader toughening of sustainability standards for brands participating in the city’s fashion week. The Danish capital has carved out a strategic niche as a sustainable fashion leader, introducing a set of minimum eco-requirements brands must meet in order to show their collections in 2020 — including a ban on fur.
