The Campaign

In Sept 2019, we partnered with Extinction Rebellion to investigate the relationship between Fashion + Climate Change, at a time when Greta Thunberg was addressing the world with her emotionally charged speech at the UN Climate Action Summit.

We wanted to share our community’s thoughts and stories on this topic.

  • 3. Statutory Sustainability Since 2018, Extinction Rebellion have been using non-violent direct action to demand the government ends its criminal inaction on the climate emergency. If you could advise government policy to set new sustainability standards for the fashion industry, where would you start? What changes are necessary for genuinely sustainable fashion?

    Fast Fashion Needs Governments To Help Raise Awareness

    September 7, 2019 /

    By Chiara DellachàBlog: https://slaveil.netInstagram:  _slaveil_ I’ve always found it funny that people say ‘it’s all in your head’ as a way of saying ‘it’s not as bad as you think’. But honestly? It is exactly when something gets in our minds that it becomes a real issue. The problem with today’s fashion industry is that our minds have become victims of our economic system. Everything is disposable. Everything is replaceable. We are allowed to get bored of anything. And this whole pattern has already started to reflect on human relationships. Your chair just broke? Buy a new one! Your desk is not as appealing as it was when it was brand…

    The World is on Fire And Yet London Fashion Week Continues

    September 5, 2019 /

    by Laragh McCannIG: @100percentreloved_ On Friday, September 13th London Fashion Week 2019 will commence as usual. Meanwhile our world is on fire. Most people can agree lucrative events based on consumption of material things we don’t need during the current existential climate crisis is not our priority. One could go a step further and say it’s a kind of madness entrenched in denial, with profoundly lethal consequences. It certainly sounds appealing to think that Fashion Week is a chance for designers to express their initiatives to save our planet and change the system. However in this day and age with social media, and the likes of Depop we can cause a powerful ruckus by…

    The Fashion Industry And Governmental Policies On Climate Change

    September 17, 2019
    XR successfully pressured the UK parliament into declaring a “climate emergency”- a definition backed by leading scientists. XR advocates for drastic reductions in consumption and the fostering of a regenerative culture in all aspects of life. It is generally accepted that reaching zero net greenhouse gas emissions will require far-reaching changes in human activity, which in fashion terms includes changing both the way we produce clothes and how we consume them. We know that reducing our fashion footprint is a critical step that needs to be taken to reduce carbon emissions, so why do we find it so difficult to give up our ASOS addictions in favour of more ethical practices?

  • Second Hand clothes are wardrobe essentials, passed on from one person to the next and each unique item tells a story, yet they seem to get a mixed review amongst shoppers. Does using the term Vintage free you from the stigma or does buying second hand clothes make you feel like a second class citizen?

    Second Hand Clothes Could Save The Planet

    July 11, 2019 /

    By Tamara Rampley Secondhand clothes are wardrobe essentials, passed on from one person to the next and each unique item tells a story, yet they seem to get a mixed review amongst shoppers. Does using the term Vintage free you from the stigma or does buying second hand clothes make you feel like a second class citizen? As you have alighted on this page, the chances are, you are – at least a bit – sympathetic to conscious fashion!                   But treading lightly upon this earth, is a complicated business, with few simple right and wrongs. You don’t have to unpick many threads – literal or metaphorical – to see the many…
