“It feels like we’re having daily wake-up calls: If current consumption levels continue, fashion could account for 25 percent of global carbon emissions by 2050,” says Clare Press
Photo: Georgia Blackie Amber Valetta was recently named sustainability editor of British Vogue. Livia Firth holds the same title for Vogue Arabia; Tonne Goodman recently took on the role for American Vogue. But with all due respect, Clare Press started the trend. She’s had the title in Australia since the beginning of 2018.
Press is the author of two books, Wardrobe Crisis and Rise & Resist: How to Change the World. Her podcast, also called Wardrobe Crisis, explores the issues behind sustainable and ethical fashion and features the aforementioned Amber Valletta, plus sustainability luminaries like Rosario Dawson and the San Francisco–based eco-entrepreneurs behind Allbirds. In June, she will co-host a new podcast series for the U.N.’s Ethical Fashion Initiative.
There’s a growing awareness that the current fashion system is unsustainable. According to Fashion Revolution, globally, we’re buying 400 percent more clothes than 20 years ago. Textile waste is a huge problem. We’re churning through precious natural resources to make more than 100 billion garments a year, only to throw them away. Up to one third of what’s produced it never sold, and we under-use the clothes that do end up in our wardrobes. It’s senseless.
Nowadays it feels like we’re having daily wake-up calls: If current consumption levels continue, fashion could account for 25 percent of global carbon emissions by 2050. We have about ten years to act on climate change, according to the latest IPCC report. Land clearing in the Amazon is linked to the leather industry. Fashion is one of the top five industries implicated in modern slavery. Each year 150 million trees are cut down for viscose production.
