Why the future of sustainable fashion needs to be design-led | Guardian Sustainable Business | Guardian Professional Ten years ago, a definition of sustainable fashion by a high street shopper might have included the words hemp, natural and definitely organic. I too would probably have said something similar. But after immersing myself in the world of sustainability and working with eco activist Suzy Amis Cameron (wife of James Cameron) and the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute, I have come to appreciate that it can be inspiring, commercially viable, and bang on-trend. The transformation in my thinking was also influenced by reading Sass Brown's Eco Fashion, and Safia Minney's Naked Fashion. One year into my role as global campaign director of Red Carpet Green Dress, a sustainable dress design contest founded by Cameron in 2009, I realise that there is the potential to lead a revolution in the way the fashion industry is run. For that to happen, there needs to be a sense of excitement about the innovative potential of the sector among the world's top designers.
Gucci launches 'zero-deforestation' handbag mongabay.com March 07, 2013 Green Gucci handbags. Courtesy of Gucci Gucci has rolled out a collection of 'zero-deforestation' handbags. Each handbag comes with a "passport" that provides the history of the product's supply chain going back to the ranch that produced the leather. The line emerged out of concerns that leather in the fashion industry is contributing to deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon, where roughly two-thirds of forest destruction is for cattle production. "This is a breakthrough moment for sustainable style," says Livia Firth, the fashion designer who launched the Green Carpet Challenge, an initiative that pushes the fashion industry to design more eco-friendly products. The handbag is Gucci's first product under the initiative. "Today more than ever before customers want to be associated with brands that are thoughtful and responsible," said Frida Giannini, Gucci's Creative Director, in a statement.

modeafFAIRe | Online-Portal für faire Mode 10 Creative Ways to Recycle Ordinary Objects | Ecoble Creatively artistic recycling doesn’t have to be limited to helping the environment: it can also be a challenge and opportunity to ingenious designers who work with materials most people would consider waste to create amazing things. Some of the following designs serve multiple purposes: illustrating the material possibilities of what most would consider trash while also maximizing the aesthetic potential of what would otherwise be considered waste objects. Clothes become rugs, airline trolleys become furniture, cardboard becomes bridges and sewage turns into building blocks! The Volksware designers have provided an interesting alternative way of recycling clothes that may not even bit fit for the Salvation Army. Ever wonder what happens to those oddly shaped airplane trolleys when the airlines are done using them? There are few things being produced as rapidly, regularly and in such volume as newspapers. Marcella Foschi isn’t the only one with ideas on how to reuse audio tapes.
