UN says fashion needs to match action to sustainability commitments
The United Nations Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action and CDP released its 2023 progress report, which covers the sustainability commitments made by the fashion industry. The report says that although many brands have committed to sustainable practices, there is a lack of action to match the necessity needed to battle climate change. Ultimately, the fashion industry needs to act on a larger scale and with greater speed. {Vogue Business/paywalled}

Fashion is getting more comfortable
After quarantine inspired shoppers to seek out comfort-above-all in their clothes, demand for athleisure details in clothing has remained. “People really want to be comfortable, and designers have made things that are comfortable but also spiffy and sharp,” Rachel Tashjian, fashion news director at Harper’s Bazaar, told Business of Fashion. Now, brands are incorporating performance wear into their ready-to-wear designs. Arielle Siboni, fashion director for ready-to-wear at Bloomingdales, said shoppers are opting for “ways to look presentable but feel comfortable” by choosing wide-leg trousers and cargo pants rather than dresses, for example. Leset founder Lili Chemla said, “It’s a new class of universal clothing.” {Business of Fashion}
