'We know that collectively we're stronger'– A group of international designers, executives, retailers, and industry insiders wrote an open letter on how to save the fashion business—and it starts with retail.
to the fashion industry advocating for a realignment of seasonal deliveries and sale periods, the production of fewer goods, and less travel for fashion weeks and retail buying appointments.
The letter is the result of an ongoing series of discussions spearheaded by Dries Van Noten. “I got an email from Dries three weeks to a month ago. He had put together a small group of people, and I think he wanted to have a conversation about what we were doing now and, more importantly, a conversation about the future,” Joseph Altuzarra, one of the group’s founding members tellsBackstage at Dries Van Noten fall 2020The list of signatories to the published letter spans nations.
“The idea of selling spring clothes in spring, and fall clothes during fall seems so obvious,” Proenza Schouler’s Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez wroteover email, “but that wasn’t the case until this crisis upended the system and forced us to take stock. Pushing markdowns to when the weather actually begins to change and new collections arrive is also a natural extension of this concept. We couldn’t be more excited about this shift.
For all the friendly competition, fashion cannot exist as an island. Many of the brands listed here—and even more covered by Vogue—utilize the same factories, the same showrooms, the same public relations firms, and speak as a chorus through their country’s respective governing fashion bodies. One person can’t “save fashion,” we have to do it all together.
