Future Sustainability Students
Ecouterre reports of a batch of new students seen as the future of sustainable fashion. The students were “Irene-Marie Seelig, Iciar Bravo Tomboly, Ana Pasalic, Agraj Jain, and Elise Comrie” and attend the London College of Fashion.
Thee five earned the Kering Award for Sustainable Fashion (2016). It is an award based on “a five-year partnership between the lifestyle and luxury conglomerate and the university’s Centre for Sustainable Fashion.”
Originally, there were 400 applicants with 10 finalists selected from them. Those 10 finalists’ briefs were then selected based on fit to Kering’s subsidiary brands: Stella McCartney and Brioni.
World Ethical Apparel Roundtable
According to the NOW Magazine, the Report Toxic Threads Putting Pollution on Parade will coincide with “a series of arresting images” to some truths around the “glamour of the fashion industry.”
The images were produced on site “in the heart of China’s textile industry,” which is Xiaoshin district of Hangzhou. It highlights the toxic water pollution happening as a consequence of the global market demand for international clothing labels.
The World Ethical Apparel Roundtable (WEAR)in the Metro Toronto Convention Centre will be a gathering place for both small and large fashion brands to host four panels to discuss solutions to the problem of textile waste.
Emma Watson and Sustainable Fashion’s Power
Vogue states that Emma Watson attended the MoMA Film Benefit in honor Tom Hanks, who was a co-star with Hanks in The Circle.
She came in a “crushed velvet dress from Kitx by Kit Willow, the Australian sustainable luxury brand,” which put some more of the sustainable fashion world in the global platforms. It is breaking in.
Watson remains committed to ethical fashion. Kitx itself uses materials from organic cotton, marine little, even hemp and recycled bottles to produce it signature pieces. Those caught the ethical eye of Watson, and the MoMA Film Benefit too.
