Meanwhile, Tom Ford landed at the bottom of the ranking — as in, 0% transparent — on Fashion Revolution's new Fashion Transparency Index:
Author:Whitney BauckPublish date:Apr 21, 2020It's hard to hold companies accountable for what you don't know about them, and it's hard to know what you don't know about them if they have free rein to hide whatever they want to from the public.
This year, the companies topping the ranking as "most transparent" came consistently from the high street or sportswear sectors: Swedish retailer H&M scored highest of all at 73%, with companies like Adidas, Patagonia, Esprit and VF Corporation also making the top 10. But luxury labels weren't immune from low rankings. Max Mara and Tom Ford both scored a shocking 0% on the transparency ranking. As these are based on what brands openly disclose information, a 0% implies that these companies are making almost nothing available about their suppliers, due diligence processes, audits and the like. In short, high prices don't guarantee that a brand will be open and honest about how and where its clothing is made.
