This will sell out again, but only in one way.

🌐🛍️ Yesterday was a whirl win trip where I was part of a productive session at Next's head office in Leicester! 🤝💬 I engaged in insightful discussions with the Textiles 2030 Metric Working Group, delving into the latest reports on the UK's strides in reducing the environmental impact of textiles. 🌿📊 Explored both low and high-impact improvements set to shape the upcoming years' reporting. Discussed the intriguing challenge of retail overproduction—why it happens and innovative ways to prevent it. 🛒💡 Dived deep into the concept of displacement rates for the UK, unraveling the correlation between new clothing purchases and the rise of second-hand acquisitions. 🔄👗 A significant portion of our time was devoted to refining the footprint tool used by all Textiles 2030 signatories. 🛠️💼 Collaborated across sectors, from production and distribution to retail sales, reuse markets, and recycling. 🌍🤝 Exciting times lie ahead as we collectively work toward a more sustainable future for the textile industry! 🚀💚 #Textiles2030 #SustainableFashion #EnvironmentalImpact #TextileIndustry #NextFashion #CollaborationForChange 🌐

Minho), Thomas Håkansson (Fashionlab), Thomas Gries (RWTH) shared their insights for the future. Here are some of the ideas presented: The relevance of the textile industry in the north of Portugal and the role that innovation plays in its growth; the textile industry in Europe path to reliability, trust and admiration; the inevitability of artificial intelligence in the industry and all the cares to take during its use; innovation trends in design; and the bioeconomy and the symbioses between the textile industry and the agriculture sector. #itechstylesummit #boostedbyCITEVE #textileindustry #textileconference #internationalconference #innovation #fashion

2 weeks to go, until the ECOPARC SUMMIT in TEMPE, AZ. Textiles and apparel serve as a fundamental necessity for individuals worldwide. Valued at a staggering $2 trillion, the apparel industry plays a pivotal role in global economies. However, it's imperative to acknowledge that this vast industry faces significant environmental and social challenges.  Today’s textile and apparel value chains are plagued by inefficiencies and fragmentation, resulting in, overproduction, high inventories, high markdown rates, and millions of tons of textiles wasted each year. This supply chain issue is one FABRIC, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, and many others would like to see it transformed as other industries have. Global manufacturers, brands, retailers, technology companies, NGO’s, investors, government, and academia will convene at FABRIC in Tempe Arizona on April 23rd and 24th at a circular supply chain summit to pilot the first EcoParc. Spearheaded by FABRIC, Future Proof Fashion, and global supply chain expert Bill McRaith, the objective of the summit is to rally key global industry supply chain visionaries and leaders and collectively embark on the first steps toward fabricating the 2030 Supply Chain Vision. By seamlessly connecting offshore, nearshore, and onshore capabilities, the EcoParc fosters dynamic demand-supply equilibrium on a global scale. Physical and technological infrastructure is fundamental to enabling the future-proofed vision of EcoParc, in addition, the leverage that comes from industry-scale collaboration de-risks, elevates, and accelerates this vital solution. “Despite all of the amazing work individuals are doing, the harsh reality is that the apparel industry is projected to grow over 250% in the next few decades, and we are falling further and further behind in our efforts to reduce the devastating impact of over purchasing up front and recycling garments at the end of life” says Bill McRaith, former CSO of PVH, SVP Sourcing at Walmart, and EVP of Victoria’s Secret, CSO Intimates at L Brands. “Only through a collective industry effort do we have any chance of addressing this at any meaningful scale” “No individual brand or company will solve the sustainability issues our industry faces,” says former CEO of Under Armour, Colin Browne, “We need to work together.” - official publication #sustainablefashion #sustainablesolutions #futureprooffashion FABRIC Incubator Sherri Barry Angela Johnson Bill McRaith Colin Browne Jennifer Guarino Sasha McFarlane Olga Penkovska https://lnkd.in/etwzcuQ8

Our CEO, Federico Brugnoli participated in today's panel discussion at the European Fashion Alliance Status of European Fashion Conference in Brussels. The session “Tech-infused Sustainability: Driving Industry Evolution Through Digital Innovation and Empowerment through knowledge”, moderated by Christine Goulay, Founder of Sustainabelle Advisory Services, together with alexandre capelli, Environmental Deputy Director at LVMH; and Dr. Andree-Anne Lemieux, Sustainability Chair Director at IFM-KERING and Full Professor at Institut Français de la Mode and Semora Mangnoesing, Commercial Director at EON. The debate confirmed the importance of “soft” technology as an enabler of the collection and management of large amount of data as well as an enabler of the data-driven simulation of supply chain scenarios and of possible technological innovations. Also “hard” techs are very important in the fashion global supply chains, in order to achieve lower impact materials, biobased and low-impact chemistry, materials efficiency, on-demand manufacturing of durable products. Circular solutions are also part of the game, but we shall consider them as a last option. The key message left to the audience has been: “Let’s build the future from the head, let’s empower eco-desing of durable products and of innovative business models” #SPIN360 #EuropeanFashionAlliance #Sustainability

Did you know that - Customer loyalty increases significantly when fashion brands offer reselling opportunities?  - Fungi serve as nature’s clean-up crew by efficiently breaking down organic matter and synthetic polymers? - It’s possible to trace back, with just one unique solution, a retail garment across the supply chain to its raw material? These were some of the ideas unveiled to a select group of investors at the The GoodFashion Institute Investors’ Luncheon. The presenting ventures, from the world of sustainable fashion, were: Reflaunt creators of a one-stop fashion resale solution that leverages brand-powered circular models to ignite growth in the fashion industry Rheiazymes a venture whose proprietary technology will enable closed loop recycling by breaking down materials back into their main raw components Haelixa Ltd specialists in product traceability using DNA markers, offering transparency on the authenticity of a product along the supply chain The meet also featured the investor perspective provided by Collateral Good, a climate-first and technology-focused venture capital platform. As highlighted by the The GoodFashion Institute, with measures like the EU's Supply Chain Act (CSDD) and the Digital Product Passport (DPP) on the anvil, the regulatory framework is progressing to put sustainability front and center.

Insights from Manufacturing Futures 2024 Had the opportunity to attend Manufacturing Futures 2024 last night, where industry leaders converged to shape the future of manufacturing. Here are some key takeaways: 1️⃣ **Brand Partnerships:** Collaboration was the buzzword, with a focus on scaling innovations through strategic partnerships. 2️⃣ **Affordability for All:** Emphasis was placed on developing materials and technologies accessible to high street and mid-market consumers and not just luxury, ensuring sustainability isn't exclusive to high spenders. 3️⃣ **Adaptability:** Manufacturers are gearing up for market demands by prioritising adaptability in product development. 4️⃣ **Sustainable Alternatives:** A shift towards circular and bio fabrics/textiles is underway, with a realistic approach towards replacing leather and the long term planning that is required to make that a market reality. 5️⃣ **High Performance, Minimal Synthetics:** The challenge lies in achieving high performance without resorting to synthetic additives, a hurdle that's crucial to overcome for sustainable manufacturing. Lauren Bartley, Chief Sustainability Officer at Ganni shared a refreshing perspective, viewing bio-based materials not as alternatives, but distinct entities from leather. It prompts us to rethink luxury in fabric terms. Whilst Jen Keane, co-founder and CEO of Modern Synthesis, answered relevant from the audience, with honesty and humility, about affordability and timescales for developing useable products for consumers. As we navigate changing consumer perceptions, the question of selling luxury in non-traditional materials persists. Yet, with innovation as our ally, we're poised to witness remarkable transformations. Excited to see the innovations that will emerge from this year's challenge. #ManufacturingFutures2024 #Sustainability #Innovation #Manufacturing #designdistrict #fashion #Ganni #ModernSynthesis #fashioninnovation #circulardesign #circularfashion Ganni A/S DesignDistrict The Trampery | Certified B Corp Modern Synthesis
