It becomes clear that the fashion industry, and the part we play in it as consumers, is at a transitional moment in history. Old systems are being broken apart and rebuilt and there is a radical reinvention underway. It’s exciting! But, it comes with much uncertainty. There is no silver bullet, no single thing that is going to fix the ethical paradoxes at the root of fashion’s moment of reckoning. But there are ideas. Innovators across the industry are exploring new ways of producing the clothes we love. And we get it, most of us don’t want to buy something harmful to the environment, or participate in a toxic dynamic but yikes, it can be hard to keep up with developments and be abreast of all the major issues and potential solutions. So, here, we ask the big questions facing the fashion industry today and explore the ever-expanding answers, while hearing from pioneers in the field of sustainability and ethical fashion. Because when it comes to the future of fashion: Knowledge is power.
