If you're into making #fashion more sustainable, check out this interview! 🚀🌿🎉 we all know that fashion has a long way to go to become #sustainable or circular, let alone regenerative. It's a huge task. and a lot of big questions, like: 👉 Should we be innovating around #synthetic or #natural fibers? (and how does that affect long-term problems, like the #waste produced when clothes are thrown away) Or: 👉 How can we get not only brands but customers to engage proactively with the DPP? (and with quality, supply chain and fair wages issues around fashion in general?) What fascinates me about portance is that it addresses so many of these issues from so many angles all at once! Go #portance !! --- Dominic Sam Ken Faith Kseniya Alexander Marine Meike Jess Matthew

Using outdated tech is like wearing last season’s skinny jeans — it’s a fashion faux pas. Technology is moving at lightning speed, and what’s cool today can be cringe-worthy tomorrow. Don’t let your business get caught in a tech time warp! Upgrade your gear and stay trendy (or at least not embarrassingly outdated). #TechFashion #UpgradeYourTech #StayTrendy #TechTimeWarp #OutdatedTech #InnovateToElevate #FutureReady #TechSavvy #NoMoreFauxPas #ModernizeYourBusiness #CoolNotCringe #TrendingTech #DigitalFashionista #EmbraceTheChange #TechMakeover #FashionablyUpdated #NextGenTech #SmartUpgrades #TechTrends2023 #BusinessInnovation #CuttingEdgeTech #OutfitYourOffice #StayAheadOfTheCurve #TimelyTech #TechEssentials #FreshGearOnly #Don’tGetLeftBehind #ElevateYourSetup #ChicAndGeeky #TimelessTech

#DPP is at the tip of everyone’s tongue in fashion… but Katy Perry seems to be taking it to the next level! At the #VMAs in New York last week, Katy turned heads with a futuristic look, featuring a shredded white bralette, matching low-rise skirt and… nothing less than a QR code tattooed on her lower back. The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a transformative system in the fashion industry, designed to provide transparency throughout a garment's lifecycle. By attaching digital records to products, DPPs track details from sourcing materials to manufacturing, distribution, and even disposal or recycling. This data empowers consumers to make informed, sustainable decisions while helping the industry move toward a circular economy 🌿 Brands, however, are struggling to get their data ready to be shared with customers. If you ask us, Katy Perry looks more than ready. Wonder what's behind her QR code? 👀 #MemesFriday #VMAs2024 #KatyPerry #FashionTech #SustainableFashion #DigitalProductPassport #DPP #EcoChic #RedCarpet #FutureOfFashion #FashionInnovation #GreenFashion #SmartBusiness #ESPR #ProductTransparency #FashionMeetsTech

Fast fashion - how did we get there? Originally, clothes were meant to keep you warm or protect you from the elements Over time, it became a way to express ourselves - fashion was born We have now moved in an era of ultra fast fashion with fashion cycles counted in weeks rather than seasons boosted by social media such as TikTok and Instagram The amount of resources consumed and waste produced is snowballing: 👚 Clothes are only worn a couple times and fall apart after a few washing cycles 🌊 35% of all microplastics in the ocean come from laundering synthetic fibers 🏭 30-40% of the clothes are never sold as they go out of fashion 👣 Textiles are already roughly 10% of our carbon footprint and this is expected to double by 2050 How can we live happy lives without wearing the latest fashion gadget? #circulareconomy #fastfashion #regeneration

Mind Numbing and Heart Aching💔 We are over producing and over consuming.. And generating so much of the waste. Let’s choose to buy only clothes that we really need. Let’s choose to keep the fashion trends aside. Let’s choose to buy good quality, and long lasting clothes. Let’s choose to minimise consumption. Let’s choose to reduce the pressure on Mother Earth. Let’s choose to provide a healthy & bright future to our children 🙌 #MinimiseConsumption #NaturalLiving

Our journey from protection to expression has morphed into a culture of disposable trends, fuelled by social media. But as the waste piles up and resources dwindle, we need to rethink and radically change our relationship with clothing. ♻️🍃🌎 #circulareconomy #fastfashion #regeneration"

The fast fashion industry churns out clothing at an unsustainable rate, with devastating impacts like massive waste, resource overconsumption, and microplastic pollution; we must find ways to express ourselves stylishly that don't rely on buying the latest short-lived fashion fad. Rather than fast fashion, we need a shift to circular models where clothes are better quality, worn longer, and recycled at end of life. Mert Topcu Arzu Sandikci

Think before you throw away clothing, household products, textiles overall. Donate or resell. Poshmark and OfferUp make it easy. Donation pick ups exist in your neighborhood. Tax time has a specific line for clothing donations. Invest in essentials! They carryover each season and rarely go out of style. We need to do better in this industry. By 2050, we are still alive and passing the baton to our children. Fast fashion is here to stay! It doesn’t mean we toss it and let it pile up in the landfills. Calling all fashion brands, address the waste problem now. Look hard at your product lifecycle and own the final step. It will tell you what not to produce going forward and possibly that the real problem is your first step. 🙄 #demandplanning #savetheplanet #sustainability #environmentalstudies #fashion #futureleaders #recycle
