With environmental disasters happening across the world, such as the floods in Pakistan, drought in France, and forest fires in California, it is clear that environmental sustainability is a priority – especially for the fashion industry. While fashion companies are keen on becoming more eco-friendly by changing their practices, consumers are still unwilling to pay higher prices for their products. Instead of waiting for the consumer to change, how can they lead change? Is it possible to solve this paradox?
