Can Ethical Fashion Truly Exist?

What do you know about the clothes in your wardrobe? About the clothes that you’re wearing right now? Clara Vuletich works with some of the biggest brands in the world to help them ask the right questions about where the clothes that we wear come from.

Clara is a designer, researcher, educator and consultant who has worked in the sustainable fashion space in UK and Europe for ten years, and is now based in Sydney, Australia. She was part of the team at the University of the Arts London who designed The TEN, a pioneering sustainable design methodology used by brands including H & M; VF. Corp. and Gucci Group. Clara has recently established a consultancy business that utilises The TEN framework to equip Australian fashion companies with training and insight on sustainable product innovation and strategy.

Retail vs E-Commerce: Which is More Eco-Friendly?

In this article, we’ll talk about the differences between retail and e-commerce, the pros and cons of each, and which is ultimately more eco-friendly.

Find FREE resources on retail management on our website.



What is retail? Why is it so important for the economy?
Retailing is the final step in distribution of merchandise, where retailers sell merchandise directly to the end consumer in small quantities.

Retail is one of the most vital sectors of the economy. It supports 1 in 4 U.S. jobs and contributes 7.7% to the U.S. GDP

How Does The Business Model Work?
The business model of retailing involves buying merchandise in large quantities from wholesalers (or manufacturers) at low price and selling it in small quantities to the general public at higher price. The difference in price is called gross profit.

In order to deliver such a service, retailers perform a lot of activities through different functions in the business

These include:

Product Sourcing
Marketing & Branding
Store Operations
Merchandising 
And Sales

They also rent different stores, offices and warehouse locations. 

Retailers spend part of the gross profit they earned from selling the merchandise at the stores on running such functions and paying those rents, and at the end they generate a smaller pre-tax profit

HOW ECO-FRIENDLY IS COTTON? [Environmental Impact And Sustainability Of Cotton]

Every year we produce 29 million tonnes of cotton which is the same as 29 t-shirts for everyone on earth. It’s the world’s most commonly used natural fibre and people like it because it’s light, durable and breathable.
 
If you have a look through your wardrobe you can be sure that something in there will at least partly be made of cotton.
 
Cotton is actually a plant, the bit we use to make fabric is a fluffy white fibres that surround the seed, it gets picked, the seeds are taken out and then it’s spun into a thread.
 
But while cotton is a natural fibre and doesn't cause the same plastic pollution problems as some man made fabrics, it comes with its own issues...
 
This week on the vlog we've teamed up with our friends at the soil association to investigate current cotton production and the benefits of making the switch to organic.
 
To find out more about the soil association head to their website. Soil Association Certification certifies both GOTS and OCS in the UK – and so you may spot the SA Organic symbol alongside when buying organic clothing. This is the UK’s most recognised organic logo – it’s on 70% of organic food, health and beauty, fashion and textile products in UK

* About the webinar *

The European Commission is enabling the shift to the circular economy and making sustainable products the norm with a new package of European Green Deal proposals, as part of the Circular Economy Action Plan. 

The proposal for a Regulation on Ecodesign for Sustainable Products (ESPR) addresses product design by setting new requirements to make almost all products on the EU market more circular, energy efficient, and reduce their environmental and climate footprint. 

In this webinar we will explore the potential implications for product development and corporate strategy as a result of this proposed regulation.

In this Our Changing Climate climate change video essay, I look at why fast fashion must end. Specifically, I look at the horrors of both worker and planetary exploitation of the fashion industry. The history of fashion parallels that of industrial capitalism. The pollution and worker exploitation of 18th and 19th-century textile mills and factories have just been upgraded and exported to the 21st century. Today with brands like ASOS, Shein, and H&M fashion has turned fast fashion into ultra-fast fashion with extremely quick turnarounds and daily style releases crushing workers in the imperial periphery and pumping emissions into the atmosphere. The current state of the fashion industry is destroying our planet and our very lives.

How We REALLY Stop Fast Fashion

I quit buying fast fashion back in 2016 and haven't looked back. These are the steps I wish someone had given me when I first started. And of course these aren't all encompassing, but I hope that this can help be a great starting point for those wanting to cut back on fast fashion.
