BCome.’s Post

✨ Collaboration is the key to sustainability in fashion ✨ I’ve been following BCome.’s reports and newsletters for quite some time now, and their latest article really struck a chord with me. They summarized a recent study on the State of Fashion in 2025, and this point stood out: "The wide scale of supply chains makes it difficult to implement sustainable initiatives across all levels, and decarbonizing operations and adopting sustainable materials come with higher costs, particularly for smaller brands. To overcome these challenges, the report advocates for collaboration among brands, suppliers, innovation experts, and policymakers." Yes, collaboration is key! It’s a principle I’ve been rooting for and actively working toward through BABATAN and Koldbath Craft Kollektiv. Whether it’s B2B partnerships or cross-industry collaborations, these initiatives have shown me how collective efforts can drive meaningful change—even for smaller brands navigating resource constraints. I’m excited to see how this focus on collaboration will shape the future of the fashion industry. Let’s keep pushing for solutions that benefit both people and the planet. What are your thoughts on this? How can we foster more impactful collaborations in fashion?

Whether you're a consumer, employee, or business owner, we're all connected to the fashion industry. Reconnecting with fashion—from its origins to your relationship with your wardrobe—is vital for moving towards a more sustainable future. In the video "How can the fashion industry scale circular solutions? | Summit 23," Amy Powney and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation invite us to reconsider the impact of what we wear and encourage us to embrace a more mindful and eco-friendly approach to fashion. Integrating sustainability into the core of fashion design and throughout the supply chain is essential. This is definitely worth a watch for anyone invested in the future of fashion. #circularfashion #Chloe #motherofpearl #sustainablefashion #supplychain #digitalpassport https://lnkd.in/e4tnwu7N

I don’t presume to believe that I have huge reach, but my network is filled with folks like me who have built careers making product in the apparel/textile space. Circularity and the Circular Economy are not new concepts, but our industry is still deeply mired a way of thinking and operating that does little more than play lip service to reducing the impact of the products we make. If you still struggle to truly grasp the impact of the product we create, here’s a story that aired last month on PBS that makes it as clear as day: https://lnkd.in/gMzfhzt3 And if you understand the problem but have no idea where to begin, take a listen to Nicole Bassett in this webinar on the basic fundamentals of circularity and how we can start to turn the tide by shifting our mindset and methods. #CircularFashion #SustainableFashion #BeyondThreadsWebinar
