the fashion industry is responsible for 10 per cent of all emissions, according to the world Bank. It is more than that of air and sea transport together. It is also one-fifth of all of the impurities in the water. Recently wrote in the Express newspaper about how the toxins from the textile industry in Bangladesh ends up in the drinking water, and enable the adoption of children born with disabilities. Fashion to collect millions of pounds of clothing, but the real figure on how much is actually recovered is less than one per cent. Almost all of the carbon footprint of our clothes 80 per cent) occurring in the manufacturing process. It is clear that either the industry or consumers any longer can turn a blind eye to how the mass production of clothes affects the climate, the environment and human health.
However, all is not bleak.
this week, the ceo of Copenhagen Fashion Week, Cecilie Thorsmark, Stockholm, sweden, to talk about his new plan (the Fashion Week of Stockholm on a break since last fall).

A scoring system will determine who is to live up to the requirements. Companies, which destroys the unsold goods are rejected, while the environmental and personnel with a good understanding of sustainability, greater self-esteem. ”We are in the midst of a crisis. No one can ignore this fact.

Thus, hope is the organizer of a spill-over effect that can alter people’s behavior.
the role is small compared to the big fashion weeks in London, New York, Milan, and Paris, france. My hope is to inspire those other shows, but also the influencers, and the international fashion press:. ”I would like to see a change in rhetoric. There are no ”must-haves”, said Cecilie Thorsmark, referring to the modemagasinens ‚must-have‘ formulations about the current market trends. She also believes that there is a need for better legislation. ”There has been too little regulation,” says she.
Despite the fact that many of the companies at the present time, the economic problem, the estimated production of the clothing to have for a growth rate of 81% by the year 2030, according to the report, the Pulse of the Fashion Industry. The question is, can the industry make money other than to produce a new set of clothes? Cecilie Thorsmark may have the answer to, ”What is it, who says that brands need to find out about new things?
