"Across various cultures, ages, and social demographics, the practice of resharing and re-wearing clothing has been a longstanding tradition. This practice, deeply rooted in sustainability, has manifested in unique ways worldwide, reflecting cultural values and resourcefulness." - Samata Pattinson writes The Remake Time's newest article 💗 https://lnkd.in/gn73gS92

I am fed up with corporate hypocrisy in the fashion industry. The majority of fashion companies publish carefully curated marketing campaigns to promote their long-term climate goals, when in reality they are simply trying to increase short-term profits by launching new products. Let’s unpack one of the latest examples: NikeSKIMS is a new brand from Nike and SKIMS which they claim will disrupt the global fitness and activewear industry with best-in-class innovation in service of all women athletes. First of all, let’s not forget that Nike, which claims to reach net-zero by 2050, stopped working with 30% of its employees working primarily on sustainability. Secondly, in its 2024 Fashion Accountability Report, remake.world gave SKIMS a score of zero out of 150, the lowest possible score. This placed SKIMS at the bottom of the report, alongside other brands such as SHEIN. Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/djMjRC_K "Nike and SKIMS share a deep commitment to innovation, inclusivity and pushing boundaries, driven by an unwavering belief in the power of women", says Kim Kardashian, co-founder and chief creative officer, SKIMS. The power of women? This is a slap in the face of social justice and corporate accountability. A celebrity makes billions selling the message that her plastic-based products empower women, while her business model exploits workers: women and all workers in fashion supply chains. This money is being made with no respect for the women who make these products, and this money is being celebrated in the most unsustainable ways. I am sure that some people are making billions as I write this, but I hope that my post will resonate with some, and that some will become more and more aware of such hypocrisy. Partnerships like this will not be inclusive, innovative or sustainable, because: Your business model is driven by the growth logic, with billions of items produced each year. You will use all those nasty marketing tactics to legitimise and romanticise overproduction and overconsumption, which will only perpetuate the destruction of social, ecological, emotional and physiological resources. You will increase the power imbalance in supply chains because there is no transparency. Your operational goals, purchasing practices and pricing models to reduce operational costs will create injustice for people working in these complex supply chains; this business model will create detrimental economic, social and environmental scandals that we are already familiar with. If you want to be inclusive, innovative and boundary breaker, we need you to be transparent and accountable and show us how you are using empathy, kindness and your money to empower not only your customers but also your supply chain workers. Ps: “If you have a body, you are an athlete”, they say. What does that mean? #fashion #sustainability #hypocrisy #nike #skims

NikeSKIMS launched their joint brand this week... two giants that continue to exploit garment workers and the planet with their plastic collections, all while profiting off of their manipulative feminist marketing. While headlines scream for climate action and billionaire boycotts, they simultaneously celebrate big fashion's continued race to the bottom. As one commenter put it, "You can't scream eat the rich while wearing SKIMS." Reminder: SKIMS scored a zero and Nike only scored 18/150 points in our 2024 Fashion Accountability Report: https://lnkd.in/g5Dzbbne https://lnkd.in/g5dCDmk4 #nike #skims #fashion #sustainability #climate

Transparency in the apparel supply chain is more critical than ever in 2025 because global crises, like climate change and social inequality, are worsening. Without clear information, harmful practices stay hidden, keeping workers underpaid and the environment at risk. Consumers and governments now demand proof that brands are acting responsibly, and laws are emerging to enforce accountability. Transparency helps build trust, holds brands accountable and drives meaningful change. At Remake, we believe shining a light on supply chains is essential to creating a fashion industry that values people and the planet.- Remake CMO Katrina Caspelich https://hubs.li/Q037D5BQ0

“Underregulation also means that consumers are often paying for low-quality clothing that is sometimes made with unsafe materials. There’s also the fact that most fast fashion is so poorly constructed that garments tend to fall apart after a handful of uses, according to UCLA’s Sustainability Institute. Fast fashion also leans heavily on synthetic materials produced from petrochemical-based fabrics. Journalist Alden Wicker has also flagged how some chemicals used in fashion production have been linked to infertility.” https://lnkd.in/gUB5tBKT

In case it wasn't already clear that billionaires cannot be relied on to fund climate solutions: "Jeff Bezos’s $10bn climate and biodiversity fund has halted its funding of one of the world’s most important climate certification organizations, amid broader concerns US billionaires are “bowing down to Trump” and his anti-climate action rhetoric." https://hubs.li/Q0360x1n0
