PANELIST | An introduction to holding the fashion industry to account

As the world ponders high fashion trends and highstreet retailers aim to provide a budget friendly version, the climate conscious among us are instead focused on this question: what is fashion’s role in the climate justice movement? As a large culprit, both in their carbon footprint and their unethical exploitation of supply chains, it's undeniable that something needs to change in the fashion industry. In fact, this has already been partially addressed by retailers, with outwards facing green commitments being used in advertising campaigns across the board, authentic or otherwise. So where do we stand? How do we move beyond fashions reputation as frivolous and use fashion instead as a legitimate force for climate justice?

MODERATOR | Fashion Open Studio x Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week: Activism Panel

Fashion and activism go hand in hand. The fashion industry impacts on the environment and society in so many ways, and the two are completely interlinked. The pandemic has accelerated anxiety about climate change, and has highlighted the fundamental inequity of the system. We are all connected, but why must the worker at the bottom of the chain always bear the most impact? How do we activate change from within the industry?
