Sustainability: The Future of Fashion
Players in the local apparel sector are being urged to look towards sustainability as the global fashion industry places increased focus on more environmentally friendly practices.
Acting Head of Department for Applied Art, Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts, Laura Lee Jones, said there can be no conversation surrounding the future of fashion without mentioning sustainability.
Citing a 2021 Harvard Business Review, she noted that “an active consciousness about reducing the environmental footprint by trimming operational waste, among other things, is going to be the central focus of any business venturing into fashion”.
