Survey: Consumers do care about sustainable fashion
37% of European consumers recycle their clothes and 62% wear their clothes for at least a few years according to a survey carried out by Fashion Revolutions in 2020. Additionally, 69% of people would like to know how their clothes are manufactured. Will those trends gain more momentum this year? How will the fashion industry adapt to the changing consumer behaviour?
Fashion For Change searches for answers and is aiming to find out the current challenges and solutions in Europe’s circular fashion industry. If you want to know more and be updated – check out our webpage and sign up for the mailing list.
