Transparent fashion, ethical fashion, and sustainable fashion are all realms of the fashion industry that feel urgently relevant now more than ever. We’ve always said that sustainability is a journey with the actions taken shaping its impact. It’s why we took a step forwards into developing an organic cotton range, sourced and worked with sustainable materials like linen and banana fibre, and believe that transparent fashion creates an open conversation and room for growth. With that said, we’ve decided to compile a list of sustainable and transparent fashion events that you should make the time for in the year ahead.
Here’s your guide to transparent fashion events in 2020:
