HTSI Magazine Adds a W for Wisely with Lena Hardt Posing in Sustainable Fashion AOC Fashion

AOC so agrees with HTSI editor Jo Ellison’s perspective when she writes:

“Finding garments that are 100 per cent sustainable is still an unexpected challenge.”

Ellison is so much more diplomatic than AOC, citing “this week’s fashion editorial, which sought to use only recycled, sustainably made or upcycled textiles. . . . Putting together a shoot in which such criteria were mandatory was still far harder than might have been expected, despite much noise in the industry about trying to make things better.” ⁠

As I revealed in a post last week, Anne is becoming more urgently angry over this same challenge. We will never become as aggressive as PETA because we will drive away some of the top voices and creatives in fashion who read AOC. But there is no doubt, that impatience with sustainability promises will become more obvious on our website.
