The moral obligations for the industry to be accountable for its output has never been more important.
It is a universally acknowledged truth that fashion is the second biggest polluting industry in the world. It is a statistic that has been the centre of various campaigns, countless articles and even a game-changing documentary .
In recent years it may seem as though fashion has put ‘sustainability’ at its core, but consumer demand for fashion is skyrocketing, and despite the vocal concerns of so many, supersonic-speed fast fashion retailers are more popular than ever before. For so many fashion designers, the issue remains unclear, vague and confusing. For the rest of us who want to buy clothes, even more so.
Sustainability also presents a paradox. Fashion is about creating new things, so it is impossible to be completely eco-neutral. Don’t let that put you off. As Bethany Williams, whose label is devoted to supporting social charities and ethical production, says: “You have to be a part of the problem to become the solution.
One of fashion’s biggest issues is an arcane supply chain that is difficult to trace. New platforms such as the Open Apparel Registry map out garment factories across the globe to encourage consumer transparency of where, how and by whom clothes are made. For designers, it comes down to working with independent suppliers who are able to control and limit their environmental impact.
In 2019 more information on where your clothes come from is only ever a click away. “The trick is to have the patience to read, and read between the lines, and question everything, and then reach inside your gut instincts to discern what feels relevant,” Orsola de Castro says. “Even if it’s just one thing, it makes a difference.” Ongoing developments in plant-based materials offer advanced alternatives to animal products.
