Rehabilitating our earth and building a more eco- and ethically-conscious future is a daunting feat. However, it’s not a journey you have to—or should—embark on alone. This was the takeaway from “The Power of Community” panel during the second event for Fashion our Future, an initiative between Marie Claire and Kering that brings together professionals, celebrities, and activists to discuss the strides needed to forge a more sustainable fashion industry.
While Marie Claire’s Editor-in-Chief Sally Holmes moderated, the three panelists—Kerry Washington, actress and founder of the production company Simpson Street; Aurora James, founder and creative director of Brother Vellies, The Fifteen Percent Pledge, and author of Wildflower: A Memoir; and Angel Chang, the womenswear designer behind her eponymous brand—spoke on how rectifying the fashion industry’s past wrongs must be a collaborative effort, and how equity and inclusion are vital in creating a brighter, better, and greener future.
