Roundtable – Luxury Vs. Sustainability
Day two raised an important question of the relationship between luxury and sustainability, especially in the current environment. The trend in luxury fashion tends to aim at sustainability where the value factor is getting more important, the younger generation wants innovations, creative hand-made pieces. In addition, the consumers want to feel closer to the designer through social media. Reducing consumption, recycling and upcycling is the way forward.
In addition as Martyn Roberts (Fashion Scout) said: Sustainability is going to be key for luxury brands moving forward. Everybody is paying more attention to it and people want to help make a change. And so it's the brand's responsibility to make those changes, whether it's banning fur or looking at how to maintain crafts, working with organic materials, causing less loss of biodiversity.
