Sustainability In The Fashion Industry 2021

Hi Readers!

The effects of the fashion industry regarding sustainability is a topic that is consistently raised within brands, manufacturers, global news, and simply in everyday conversation. As a country we are constantly pushing the need for recycling, reusing, and reselling – all three are combatted when using Style Concierge by Melody services. It is important that we make impacts that our accessible within our own personal reach and starting by making changes within our own homes and wardrobes. 

As an individual there are many strategies we can drive to contribute a small improvement towards the sustainability on our planet. Here are five suggestions that Style Concierge by Melody can assist with:

1.     Creating a capsule closet.

2.     Re-selling our unwanted products.

3.     Upcycling garments that may be in need of a re-vamp.

4.     Sourcing timeless pieces that can be worn for many years in a variety of ways.

5.     Investing in trans-seasonal items that can be used across more than one season.

In the UK alone, consumers have an estimated £46.7 billion worth of clothing that is unworn in their closets and each year over 85% of textiles are thrown away into landfill or burned – why is this the end of life for our precious clothing when it could be recycled or repurposed? Particularly in the luxury market whereby hours of craftmanship have gone into the finished garment and the product could be resold to a new home. Now is the time we can make a difference towards our negative environmental habits to avoid further pressing issues in the future and the fashion industry as generations develop.
