As we face the reality of a rapidly changing climate, it has become increasingly clear that the fashion industry has an adverse part to play in the impact on the environment. From production to overconsumption, the textile industry’s practices have contributed to greenhouse gas emissions, enormous waste in our landfills, and pollution through chemical dye runoff. As consumers become more aware of the environmental consequences of their purchasing habits, there has been a growing demand for more transparency on sustainable and ethical fashion options. For Vogue sustainability editor Tonne Goodman, renewable living has been a cause she has championed through her decades as a Vogue fashion editor, penning a column dubbed Style Ethics, spotlighting new sustainability practices and designers who created environmentally responsible collections. Goodman led the charge amongst her peers, including stalwart names like supermodel, actress, and sustainability activist Amber Valletta, who has been committed to advancing environmental awareness and smarter consumption practices for years. Models.com launches a new series, The Art of Collaboration, sitting down with the two industry leaders to discuss their careers together, the changes they’ve seen in the fashion industry over time, and the industry’s role in addressing the climate crisis.
