France’s Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode and Italy’s Camera Nazionale Della Moda are among 25 members of the European Fashion Alliance announced Tuesday and spearheaded by the German Fashion Council.
The Alliance said its goal is to foster sustainability, innovation and inclusion in European markets. In the coming months, its members will jointly develop a strategy to transform the industry in line with broader efforts to establish more environmentally and socially responsible business practices. The move comes as the fashion industry faces increasing scrutiny from global regulators.
The Prince’s Foundation, a sustainability charity, is the only member representing the UK. The British Fashion Council, a notable absence from the extensive list of European fashion councils involved, did not immediately respond to BoF’s request for comment.
