GLASGOW, Nov 4 ― The fashion industry must prepare to eliminate waste and take radical stances such as ditching animal leather altogether, said British designer Stella McCartney.
Despite initial scepticism from peers, McCartney has never used leather products since entering the industry three decades ago. They include mycelium, which can be extracted directly from fungus and used as an animal skin substitute for making bags and shoes. The main challenge is getting more sustainable materials into clothes that will be worn by billions of people across the world.“We're hoping, definitely that these are viable solutions and we just need to bring them to the world's attention.”
Just as fashion tastes change over time, so are younger generations less willing to wear animal products, she said.
