HAVE WE CHANGED?

We have beengranted our freedom once more, prompting most designers to present theircollections with live catwalk shows for the first time since the globalpandemic hit in 2020. We had thought that such a catastrophic event plus, allthe other grim issues besieging our world, would have a lasting affect and ourbusiness would learn some lessons. Have we changed our ways? We fear not. Thegiant fashion and textile juggernaut appears to have resumed its course and theshareholders and business bosses are trundling along the well-ploughed furrowbent on fiscal growth. Having this as the primary goal is largely to thedetriment of the health of our planet and goes against the the aim of makingclothes that are well designed, ethical, sustainable and offer a reason forconsumers to invest thoughtfully. There are surely ways to have both,integrating long term environmental and fair social aims into the process andalso generating profit. It takes a radical shift however and pressing the resetbutton takes courage and a long-term perspective. Optimism was certainly a topline message coming through but it’s an empty one if it isn’t backed up bymeaningful action. There are designers who are taking braver steps but thesestories around sustainability of product and initiatives that are inclusive andtruly working towards rewriting fashion rules are drowned out by the power andsheer volume of those who put profit first.

Although avery uncertain retail market (see Publishers View, page 20-21) has added tocontinuing worries about supply line security, delivery times, inflation andenergy costs, manufacturers have sort to bring something modern and unexpectedto the table even though trading conditions might demand a more conservativeand commercial approach.
