Transitioning to a circular fashion system requires us to reconsider all elements, from design to end-of-life to the very business models that underpin the industry. Collaboration is crucial. To move beyond incremental improvements to true transformation, we need innovators to work with corporations and corporations to work together.

That’s why Fashion for Good is building a global coalition of brands, producers, retailers, suppliers, non-profit organisations, innovators and funders united in their genuine ambition to make all fashion good.

By moving from individual pilots to collective investment, by collaborating rather than competing, and by openly sharing what we learn with the fashion industry and the world, we can accelerate progress for long-term impact.
