The repurposed approach to trendy fashions represents, on average, an 82 per cent reduction in the carbon footprint of typical clothing production, according to Gauthier. In a notoriously ‘dirty’ industry like fashion, that type of cleanup percentage is worthy of an appreciative pause. “Around 100 billion garments are made every year — 30 per cent of those go unsold. Garments, each year, just made but never even sold, which is crazy.”
