Fashion Declares was launched in 2022 with an Open Letter calling for radical change of the fashion industry in the climate, ecological and social crisis (see signatories).
“The climate, ecological and social crisis is the most serious issue of our time. The fashion industry is, and has been, a huge contributor to this crisis but it can also be a significant force for positive change.
The knowledge, ideas and technology exist for the transformation of the fashion industry. What has been lacking is the collective will.
The fashion industry employs millions of people across the world. When we come together, we have a powerful collective voice to change our industry and all our futures. We recognise the urgent need to build a new, systemic and inclusive fashion industry that celebrates different initiatives and approaches to production and consumption, and that puts planet and people first.
We need a system where new fashion production is net-zero, uses resources within planetary boundaries, promotes human rights and fair and decent livelihoods. The Fashion Declares community advocates for a fashion system where the sustainability agenda is not confined to sustainability teams alone but underpins all our work and thinking within the industry.
We are focused on helping everyone in the fashion industry becomes stubborn optimists and act in accordance with the climate, ecological and social emergency. We show how this creative and innovative sector can use its drive and passion to take a leading role in tackling the crises and develop new sustainable business models, mindsets and behaviours.
By signing this letter we show our support for the goals of Fashion Declares.”
