With COP27 currently underway (Nov 6 to 18), we wanted to find out if the fashion industry has made real progress in recent years, and whether it is on track to reach the goal of carbon neutrality by 2050.

Speaking on the subject is Julia Faure, co-founder of the France-based environmentally friendly clothing brand Loom and member of the En Mode Climat collective, who calls out the lack of legislation to tackle the fast fashion model, and emphasises the need for more measures to make the fashion industry (truly) virtuous.
