Designed to stand the test of time

The problem
Current fashion industry practices are not sustainable:
Over 50%
of fast fashion is disposed of in under a year

The clothing industry’s environmental impact

Current western consumer habits are unsustainable. As consumer spending increases, especially in emerging economies, the clothing industry’s environmental impact will most likely expand greatly.

Here’s what would happen if 80% of emerging markets achieved western per capita consumption levels:
CO₂ emissions
(millions of metric tonnes)
2015
1,714
2025
3,030
That's equal to
Europeans’ CO₂ emissions in a year
Water use
(billions of cubic metres)
2015
2025
That's equal to
olympic-size pools
Land use
(millions of hectares)
2025
2015
That's equal to
sports fields
The solution
We believe that more sustainable, long-lasting fashion is part of the answer.
