We’ve had all sorts of new-gen materials crop up in the fashion industry in recent years, but what about human hair? Here’s why it could potentially be a more sustainable material than wool, if you can get over the yuck factor

We can track our air miles, our food miles, but what about our fashion miles? If you’ve ever ordered an item online, only to discover it’s been sent from half way around the world, you may have wondered about the hidden carbon impact of shipping.

To mark #EarthDay, @BritishVogue is highlighting the importance of craftsmanship when it comes to sustainability. I had the pleasure of speaking to Kazna Asker about how she uses Middle Eastern fabrics to upcycle pre-loved tracksuits

“Up north, tracksuits are a very big part of the culture,” the British-Yemeni designer tells Vogue from her airy north London studio. “That’s all I ever knew.”

Sustainability all but disappeared from the conversation this fashion month. I wrote about why it seems like the topic was just another trend for the industry, and why brands not talking about their environmental impact is a massive barrier to progress
