m Za’atari BY HELEN STOREY 3 DAYS AGO Professor Helen Storey – Centre for Sustainable Fashion at London College of Fashion, UAL Today the UNHCR marks ‘World Refugee Day’ – a moment to reflect and pause, and consider the role that we all have to play in this crisis. Just as pressure is beginning to build on governments to declare a climate emergency, we also have to consider the consequences for the mass displacement of people, and how climate change will accelerate this process. It was exactly for these reasons that I created Dress for our Time, a project which started out as a piece of fashion activism and an installation to highlight these issues. As an artist and designer I have spent the last 20 years exploring the ways fashion can facilitate social change – and never has change been so urgently needed by so many people. Back in 2015, after discussions with the UNHCR, I was gifted a decommissioned refugee tent which I made into a dress. In giving the tent a meaningful re

21ST JUNE UK GOVERNMENT RESPONSE TO THE FIXING FASHION REPORT Last week we were proud to write that the UK government had committed to enforcing The Modern Slavery Act. Yet, this week we are disappointed as the government dismiss the policy recommendations brought forward by the Environmental Audit Committee in February's  Fixing Fashion Report. As the government fail to take action on  issues such as synthetic clothing in landfill, the burning of unsold stock, (despite calling a climate emergency) and human rights abuses, what can we do to reinforce our concerns and ensure our voices are heard?

Zara Owners Inditex aiming to achieve zero waste to landfills by 2020 Zara is gradually incorporating in its stores new bags made from 100% recycled and reusable paper, which have have FSC sustainability certification. These new bags, that will be present at the stores all along the year, reduce  the use of ink by more than 70% and saves more than 30% on water consumption during production. As part of their Green to Pack project, whose primary objective is to optimise the packaging used throughout the supply chain and reduce waste of any kind as much as possible, the gift envelopes will also be replaced, the design matching the new bags and online order boxes. They are also innovating so all plastics they do need in any of their activities are designed to be safely reused, recycled, or composted; and circulate everything we use to keep it in the economy and out of the environment, as addresed in the  New Plastics Economy Global Commitment led by the Elle

New post on  Fair Fashion & Sustainable Lifestyle Blog Coconut Bowls From Plant Ahead by  alissonsimmonds Today I want to show you a recent sustainable discovery: A coconut bowl from the brand Plant Ahead. Coconuts grow in more than 90 countries around the world. Every year, millions of coconuts are eaten or used via processed coconut oil and coconut milk. In the production process, the coconut shells are discarded and burned as a waste product. When the founders of Plant Ahead learned about this problem, they came up to a solution and designed a coconut bowl. Together with their partners in Vietnam, they collect wasted coconut shells and give them a new life. The bowls are 100% plant-based and ethically made in Vietnam by local artisans. From ZustainaBox I was happy to receive a ' Plant Ahead ' coconut bowl. The bowl is perfect to serve cold breakfast, salad, and even chips.
