Future of Fashion: Production - sustainable, high-tech and on-demand
The process of producing clothing in the fashion industry is for the most part hidden away from the public eye. While it is easy to see the leaps and bounds that are taking place every day in the retail industry for example, which we can experience with a few taps of our phone or a quick trip to the store, production is usually done far away from the consumer, leaving much to the imagination.
Just like every part of the fashion industry, and more broadly the commerce industry, the processes that go towards producing our clothes, both on a microscale and an industrial scale, are changing rapidly.
In this second edition of FashionUnited’s Future of Fashion series, we will be looking at the ways clothing manufacturing has changed in recent times, and what types of innovations we can expect to see in the next 10 years.
Sustainable production
As awareness continues to grow around the importance of embracing more sustainable practices in the fashion industry, and as the world nears closer to a point of irreversible damage caused by climate change, more and more companies are investing in clean technologies and eco-measures such as reducing chemicals, waste and carbon emissions in manufacturing, or recycling old materials instead of creating new ones.
