5 WAYS TO MAKE YOUR WARDROBE MORE SUSTAINABLE
Call it a Green Wave; fashion’s tide has well and truly turned. For the first time ever, the season’s most coveted, have-to-have-it pieces now come with impressive sustainability credentials. What began as a handful of Scandi-cool brands flying the flag for conscious collections, the likes of Ganni and Samsøe Samsøe who champion low-impact materials while delivering high-impact statement looks, is now as far-reaching as JW Anderson’s new collection of canvas totes and backpacks, achingly cool and made using previous season’s surplus materials.
Re/Done Denim Mid-Rise Shorts are created from repurposed Levi's using water-conserving methods and without harsh chemicals.
1. RELIVE DENIM
At Levi’s, jeans and tees remain as truly Americana as ever, but the team has worked to dramatically cut the water used to make its clothing and has eliminated many of the hazardous chemicals used to dye and treat jeans. If you prefer your jeans a little more lived in, Re/Done is an LA-based label, recreating jean styles by repurposing old Levi’s. Each pair is made using water-conserving methods and without harsh chemicals. Plus, with a limited release, hand-picked and hand-cut in small batches, each and every pair is as unique and precious as they come.
