Get Ready: Zara and Other Cult Brands Will Be More Sustainable by 2020
Your favorite brands are giving you more reasons to love them. As WWD reports, 64 major companies have just committed to becoming more sustainable by 2020. Led by the Global Fashion Agenda, the brands will achieve the goal in a number of different ways, including eliminating non-recyclable materials, developing improved recycling technologies, and repurposing materials.
Zara, Target, ASOS, Adidas, and Reformation are among the brands that have signed the new pledge, and per WWD, each company set its own goals for achieving sustainability. The Global Fashion Agenda's website explains what it hopes to achieve by uniting these brands: "Global Fashion Agenda's mission is to mobilize the international fashion industry to transform the way we produce and consume fashion. This is done by engaging the broader fashion community on the most pressing issues and solutions and by creating joint commitments to achieve significant progress." We can't wait to see what progress will be made in the next two years—and beyond.
Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
