I was lucky enough to attend the Global Fashion Summit in Copenhagen last week moderating a panel on greenwashing in the fashion industry. I took an overview of everything we discussed, including some brilliant new guidance from the @UNEP https://t.co/10AhYPxWc1

Love this from the beauty sector. Would it work for fashion? "After years of telling you what to buy, content creators [...] on TikTok have decided to flip the script and tell you what not to buy —and they’re calling it 'de-influencing'." https://t.co/2DTQ9R5880 #overconsumption

Putting it out there for the world to see… my New Year’s resolution is to only buy five new items of clothing in 2023 #ruleof5 https://t.co/dIxnDBhoFn

@ollyrzysko This is the sort of analysis I was hoping for Ollu! Opal fruits though - for real.

The simplicity of this headline: Animals Are Running Out of Places to Live.

“Humans are taking over too much of the planet, erasing what was there before. Climate change and other pressures make survival harder.”

And yet another example of a metaverse collection announced yesterday (and live today) from @hm. Honestly…

This is what I’m worried about. We talk of digital fashion being a potential opportunity for sustainability, but lo and behold, it doesn’t take long for fast fashion to muscle in and use it to not only inspire but promote more real world items alongside. https://t.co/1iiyhY1bJl

@SophieBenson_ Second-hand kidswear is the dream and getting better all the time. My 3yo and 1yo are head to toe in it. It takes time, but it's cheaper and I get better quality for them because of it too for sure.

Knowledge is power + influence in the right hands goes a really long way... A journo reporting on the atrocious findings in the undercover investigation into Shein's supply chain, informed the @RollingStones, leading to them cancelling their licensing deal

Analysing a database of 37,453 film and TV scripts from 2016 to 2020, researchers at USC found just 1,046 (2.8%) included any keywords related to climate, and only 0.6% mentioned “climate change” specifically. https://t.co/4wYO7YMH9I

@Abelvixx @UNEP When you spell it out and look at it for what it actually is, it's truly mind boggling. Someone recently said to me it's like a Black Mirror episode that we're just accepting.

THIS. 22p fashion. In what world is this ok? We have a whole section dedicated to exactly this problem in our upcoming @UNEP guide to shifting the narrative of fashion communication. Eradicating such messages of overconsumption.
