Description
Summary:The textiles fair drew 23,377 visitors in Paris to a winter session focused on environmental performance PARIS - Held from July 5 to 7 in a brief pause from record temperatures hitting France once again, Premiere Vision's physical fall-winter 2023-2024 show marked industrywide acceleration and cooperation in addressing climate impact in the fashion supply chain. "By 2025, we're supposed to be 100 percent sustainable materials, so that's a number-one focus for us, and as an activewear brand there's the additional criteria of performance," said Marisa Ripo, global design director at The North Face, which defines sustainably sourced materials as recycled, regenerative or responsibly sourced renewable fabrics. With supply chain tracking a key requisite in upcoming environmental standards legislation, four of the five new exhibitors in the Smart Creation section offered traceability solutions, using blockchain, as at Dutch start-up Aware or French company Crystalchain, or tracing leather by lasering ID numbers from each animal's individual tag into the hide as at Spoor, a Danish tannery. [...]natural dyes, such as vegetable dyes from the food chain, are being pushed to produce more intense colors that can be used on a greater variety of materials, achieving bolder colors from foods like pomegranate, say, or leather dyed with waste from wine production, as at Ictyos, a French company making leather from fish industry waste.
