Fashion month has concluded, and while sustainability might not be the main focus this season, there’s a clear shift towards more eco-friendly practices. From second-hand runway shows to innovative materials and a spotlight on textile waste, here are some of the key sustainability moments you might have missed.
Austria, Finland, France, and the Netherlands have called on the EU to implement levies on clothing companies that promote ‘fast fashion’ consumption. The countries argue that the unsustainable practice of producing and discarding cheap, disposable garments is contributing to resource depletion, pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. They propose amending the Waste Framework Directive to hold producers responsible for the environmental impact of their products and encourage the adoption of more sustainable marketing strategies.
