Around the world, there is pressure for people and business to adopt environmentally and socially responsible practices. This call to action permeates every industry, including the world of luxury, which is part and parcel with self-reinvention. Luxury fashion in particular has\u00a0begun to reinvent itself in innovative ways, with the creative reuse of deadstock materials and the utilisation of bio-based fabric alternatives. Giants in the business have adopted eco-ethical manufacturing practices that benefit the lives of employees down the supply chain, preserve precious natural resources, and reduce carbon emissions. Ahead, we explore the initiatives and innovations luxury fashion brands have adopted to protect the world around them.<\/p>\n<h3>Valentino&#8217;s Sleeping Stock<\/h3>\n<div style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-video\"><video muted=\"1\" class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-31411-1\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" loop=\"1\" autoplay=\"1\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/01\/sustainable-fashion-innovations-2023-Valentino-Sleeping-Stock-.mp4?_=1\" \/><\/video><\/div>\n<p>In an effort to minimise its carbon footprint, <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/articles\/nicola-peltz-beckham-and-selena-gomez-wore-matching-valentino-to-ring-in-2023\/\">Valentino<\/a> has partnered with the\u00a0French textile retailer, Tissu Market, to create an upcycled clothing project titled, &#8220;Sleeping Stock.&#8221; The project entails Valentino selling its &#8220;sleeping&#8221;\u00a0Haute Couture and Pr\u00eat-\u00e0-porter fabrics from previous collections to Tissu Market. In turn, Valentino will give the proceeds back to Bottega dell\u2019Arte, its craftsmanship training program for students of fashion design who matriculate into the industry. The &#8220;Sleeping Stock&#8221; project has accumulated roughly\u00a022,000 meters of fabric so far, offsetting\u00a0265 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent and saving\u00a01,105,645 cubic meters\u00a0of water. For perspective, that&#8217;s the equivalent of\u00a05 hectares of forest and 442 Olympic swimming pools of water saved by using deadstock\u00a0Haute Couture and Pr\u00eat-\u00e0-porter fabrics.<\/p>\n<h3>Balenciaga&#8217;s EPHEA\u2122 coat<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31415\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31415\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-31415 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/01\/balenciaga-ephea-coat.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31415\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Courtesy of Balenciaga<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The fashion industry has been looking toward innovations in fabric production to minimise the impact their clothing has on the environment, and <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/articles\/balenciaga-spring-summer-2023\/\">Balenciaga<\/a> one of the brands leading the way. In its\u00a0Winter &#8217;22 360\u00b0 show, Balenciaga launched a Maxi Hooded Wrap Coat made with an alternative leather from the company,\u00a0Ephea. The <span class=\"il\">Balenciaga<\/span> Ephea Coat utilises the\u00a0vegetative body of a mushroom to create its leathery material. It&#8217;s not only first of its kind within the French fashion house&#8217;s oeuvre, but it is also the first commercially made item made using Ephea&#8217;s bio-based material. Balenciaga&#8217;s coat shows that the luxury house is banking on the use of alternative leathers in the future and is reported to be exploring possibilities for it in upcoming product launches.<\/p>\n<h3>Prada&#8217;s recycled gold<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31414\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31414\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-31414 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/01\/Eternal-Gold-Made-to-Order-Necklace.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31414\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Courtesy of Prada<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>At the end of 2022, <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/articles\/emily-blunt-devil-wears-prada-sequel\/\">Prada<\/a> debuted its <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/articles\/major-fashion-campaigns-2022\/\">Eternal Gold<\/a> collection, consisting of sustainable fine jewellery made with 100%\u00a0Certified Recycled Gold.
