The major barrier to sustainable fashion is that it’s not sustainable business I think that the reason businesses that have hard lines in sustainability are suffering is because usually it takes out of the business of it, ultimately the sustainability movement hasn’t moved far because in entirety the fashion business is a business and while we don’t like it, we have to find a way to make sustainable practices “sustainable” in terms of running costs and profit, I strongly believe it’s our job to make decisions that affect the world cautiously and consciously and nothing could make a big enough impact if the business owners don’t see it as good business, the fashion business promotes gluttony and its either we make sustainability profitable in their minds by and very much like a Gail Wynand strike the balance or take it, because it’s not for a lack of knowledge or respect that we haven’t taken more serious steps towards true sustainable fashion but a lack of discipline by the consumers and a lack of integrity by the producers, and sadly this is something we’ve contributed to

15-Years of Activating Impact! 🌎   The 2024 Summit marks a significant milestone for GFA, as it signifies 15 years since the inaugural Global Fashion Summit (formerly, Copenhagen Fashion Summit) was hosted in 2009.   Since then, the forum has evolved into an unmissable date in the fashion calendar – relevant for those wishing to stay ahead on sustainability priorities, gain tangible updates on policy developments, explore new innovations, and reflect on sociocultural influences in the ever-changing fashion landscape.   This year’s Summit, under the theme Unlocking the Next Level, will not only take stock of the evolution of the sector and the progress made so far, but, most importantly, look ahead at what actions must urgently be implemented in the near term and the gaps that must be filled to unlock the next level to accelerate industry transformation.     Join us by securing your ticket for the Summit: https://lnkd.in/dShWA8vx   #GlobalFashionAgenda #GlobalFashionSummit #UnlockingtheNextLevel

If you enjoy my LinkedIn rants 🙈 and the make-you-think, out-of-the-box perspective the Sustainable Fashion Forum shares on issues and opportunities at the intersection of fashion, sustainability, ethics, business, AND behavioral science 🤓, you should definitely come to our three-day conference in Austin, TX this April 17-19th! If you can't attend in-person, I encourage you to buy a digital ticket. I may be biased 😅, but the Sustainable Fashion Forum is unique both in terms of the content we share, the conversations we start, the community we've built, and its leadership. 😜 As we've seen this week, if you enjoy something and want it to stick around, you have to support it, or it won't continue to exist. 💯 This is hard work. Really, really hard work, but each year, we look forward to hosting hundreds of like-minded industry leaders, innovators, change makers, and advocates under one roof to have candid, forward-thinking, solution-oriented conversations about the crucial yet often overlooked topics at the intersection of fashion, sustainability, business, and ethics. 🫱🏾🫲🏼💬🗣️ Standing at the forefront of thought leadership, the Sustainable Fashion Forum is a one-of-a-kind conference (again, biased 😜 🙈) that bridges the gap between traditional industry silos to encourage grey-area thinking and collaborative, action-oriented approaches to fashion’s most pressing problems and untapped opportunities. 💫 More than an event, the SFF conference is a catalyst for change, uniting a global community of stakeholders to create and drive forward nuanced discussions and out-of-the-box perspectives not found anywhere else. 💫 More than a conference, SFF24 is a pioneering, immersive experience that challenges the conventional and inspires attendees to rethink accepted paradigms, push the boundaries of what's possible, and subvert the status quo. Connect with a dynamic community of change-makers and hear the fresh, diverse perspectives that will pave the way toward tomorrow's endless possibilities! 🚀 Will I see you in ATX? 🎟️: https://lnkd.in/eYpG8tyE

Last week’s Vogue Business Fashion Futures event, sponsored by GXO, was such an amazing venue to bring leaders together and discuss how sustainability and technology are changing the fashion industry for the better. We had an incredible turn out of industry gurus who were all very transparent about the areas they’re focusing on and where they’re collaborating. With their huge sway in legislation and business models, ‘collaboration’ and ‘flexibility’ were words I heard mentioned numerous times. Throughout our panel discussions, it was clear to see that we need to work together to unlock the true ability to further prosper and future proof our brands and businesses.   It’s inspiring to explore how environmental responsibility and profitability can work together, and how collaboration and partnership are crucial as all brands grapple with similar challenges to solve. With innovative logistics solutions being a critical part of innovative brand models, we are proud of the role we play to support the fashion ecosystem.   The GXO Logistics, Inc. team is proud to have partnered with Vogue Business to create this space where such important conversations and connections could take place.

A very insightful perspective for those in the 'sustainable' fashion space.

Can you have growth whilst reducing your carbon footprint if you're a High Street fashion retailer? This was the challenge H&M's CEO Helena Helmersson set out when she was appointed (to double sales from 2021 to 2030 — while simultaneously halving H&M's carbon footprint from 2019 to 2030) - and now she has stepped down. It would seem that she didn't get very far with either: poor sales figures have been widely reported, and the business's 2022 sustainability report showed a reduction of just 7% in GHG emissions vs. 2019. This report from Vogue Business gives an interesting (and disappointing) take on the challenges sustainability professionals often face in leadership roles. Can you do both? #sustainability #growth #fashion https://lnkd.in/dz4K4MPD
