Australian clothier Outland Denim has been named as one of the world’s foremost sustainable fashion businesses. The brand was honoured in the 2019 CO Leadership Awards, highlighting the growing pull of sustainability and ethical stories within the fashion industry.

The denim industry is widely recognised as a major polluter, but Italian firm Candiani is looking to change that. By investing in innovation, emphasising transparency, and sharing its fabric technology through collaborations, the brand is looking usher in a new era of textile sustainability.

Adidas is partnering with ThredUp for its Choose to Give Back program. People can send used products – from any brand – to the company to be reused or resold online. The venture caters to people’s growing eco-consciousness and aims to create a more sustainable product lifecycle.

Gen Zers are often described as the eco-conscious generation, but despite growing pushback against fast fashion brands, ecommerce giant, Asos, has remained resilient over the last year, bringing affordable fashion to a large proportion of young consumers.
