Sustainable Apparel Coalition, Global Fashion Summit cohosted events in Boston for first time and offered news and insights.
Sean McGirr Named Creative Director of Alexander McQueenThe consecutive summits were held last week at the Revere Hotel in Boston Common and brought together hundreds of attendees. Topics spanned technology upgrades, new supplier solutions, decarbonization programs, circularity reports and textile policy and more. Speakers hailed from brands including Nike, Target, Tapestry, H&M and Levi’s, as well as the European Commission, non-governmental organizations, academia and innovators.
The program is designed to support manufacturers in setting and keeping their science-based targets. Without consistency in transparency, tools and guidance, suppliers are often left filling out duplicate audits on their own without clear pathways for success. Financial constraints are also burdensome.
While “preferred fibers” are already commonplace talk in textiles, industry leaders are discussing the benefits of “preferential allocation of volume” to low-carbon suppliers. This is essentially giving the big jobs to the most sustainable suppliers. According to a recent analysis of Higg FEM data by carbon management company Reset Carbon, the top 1,500 facilities contribute to around 79 percent of total emissions or some 82.8 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalents.
BBC Storyworks and GFA launched “Fashion Redressed,” which is a media campaign meant to highlight diverse makers in fashion, among them indigenous brands like Thunder Voice Hat. GFA also had successive news announcements like its Fashion CEO Agenda 2023 guiding decision-making, latest designer challenge and its novel “Policy Matrix,” meant to signal a changing legislative landscape on par with its event theme of “Ambition for Action.
Brands need a government affairs person, said Chelsea Murtha, director of sustainability at the American Apparel and Footwear Association, or AAFA, in a separate, much anticipated policy conversation at the GFS event. She made the case for brands engaging more directly in regulatory efforts. Fashion players from Nike, H&M to ThredUp have allocated resources to these formative hires.
