Re/Make Hopes Film Puts Consumers in a Sustainability State of Mind

Re/Make, a nonprofit organization that uses original documentary footage to educate consumers about the fashion industry’s treatment of women and impact on the environment, today launched a short film, “10 Ways to Dress Like a Sustainable Pro,” featuring models from Role Models Management, an ethical agency and platform for models with interests and titles such as public health worker, doula, skateboarder, vegan activist and editor in chief.
Ayesha Barenblat, Re/Make’s founder, hopes the film will light a fire under the fast-fashion jeans and viscose jumpsuits of the ranks of less woke shoppers and spark the desire to consume more consciously. She knows that’s easier said than done.
“You come up against the reality that making the right choices are expensive and time-consuming,” said Barenblat, noting that many consumers continue to associate sustainable apparel with dull, crunchy or unattainably expensive clothing. “How do you make sustainability accessible to the everyday girl, so she knows that sustainable fashion can be stylish, attainable and inclusive.
“There’s so many misleading eco-conscious claims, and so much greenwashing,” Barenblat said, adding that some statistics and data points have become evangelized by the industry in spite of a lack of science-based, peer-reviewed research. “Fashion is the world’s second-biggest polluter. How

One to Watch in Copenhagen: Custommade

COPENHAGEN — Danish label Custommade has been in business since 2002, having come to life in the form of limited-edition collections created using deadstock fabrics. But it moved on to the more traditional wholesale model and reached big commercial success with hundreds of accounts across Europe and the U.S.
Founder Christian Dam is now looking to scale things back and take a more luxurious, design-led route that involves a lot more storytelling, smaller collections, a luxury retail network and a new accessories line.
“The company grew so fast, so it quickly became very commercially driven. We now want to press restart and look at the opportunity to focus on a design-driven distribution, and more quality, edgy designs,” said Dam in an interview.
The label communicated these ambitions with a fall 2020 presentation during Copenhagen Fashion Week, where it presented its collection in a makeshift office space filled with models dressed in elegant pussy-bow blouses, dungarees, bright suits and pretty shirt dresses, as they answered phone calls and typed e-mails.

The idea was to highlight that its feminine, decadent aesthetic can fit into a woman’s everyday life: It worked and made for a fun setting that guests went the extra mile to
