    The Last Thing The World Needs Is Another Clothing Brand

    The Last Thing The World Needs Is Another Clothing Brand

    Did you know that every 7 minutes, a pile of clothing waste the size of Mount Everest goes into the landfill?
    In the EU, policymakers are working toward a world where, by 2030,  textile products will be durable and recyclable, free of hazardous substances, and produced with respect for both people and the planet. Fast fashion will be a thing of the past, clothes will no longer be destroyed or incinerated, and landfills will be relieved of usable garments consumers wrongly categorize as waste.
    Someone who is taking dead stock and giving it new life is All Saints founder, Stuart Trevor in his namesake brand.
    Stuart joins Grace Hill to discuss why brands and retailers must stop overproducing and reconsider their approach to inventory management. 
    In this episode, we dive into how to avoid the disastrous impacts of dead stock on both profit and the planet. Plus, Stuart explains the real-life and often shocking impact that inspired the ‘Stuart Trevor’ brand and why he enjoys the constraints of only using materials that already exist.

    Legislative Changes Will Affect All of Retail — Can Fashion Achieve a Circular Economy?

    Legislative Changes Will Affect All of Retail — Can Fashion Achieve a Circular Economy?

    Vogue Business’s recent sustainability article highlights that, ”A spate of new regulations could come with serious implications for an industry unaccustomed to navigating policy.” 
    The regulatory environment is undergoing such drastic changes that the fashion industry cannot sustain its current operations. Reports forecast that up to 75 percent of existing businesses may vanish within the next three to five years due to their inability to meet compliance standards. Historically, the onus has been on the consumer to recycle, and while brands have a desire to engage, the challenge has always been how? 
    Formerly at ASOS, Simon Platts is now a co-founder of Recomme, a platform that allows brands to easily join the circular economy.
    In this conversation with Grace Hill, Simon explains the urgent need for a circular economy in the fashion industry, how the Recomme platform is helping brands take responsibility for recycling, and how brands can design products for longevity with profitability in mind.
    Looking ahead, Simon discusses innovative solutions like product passports to enhance transparency and that  retailers must adapt quickly to scale sustainability efforts and meet consumer expectations.
