Thoughts On The Future Industry

The future of the clothing industry is going to be led by technology and sustainability. These elements are already being put at the center of many businesses. Just like any other industry, change and adaptation are key components to the success or failure of any enterprise. As I look to the future with AVCD, I’m trying my best to stay current with how sustainability is being catered to and lead by professionals.

I almost think tech is one of those areas that is the last frontier when it comes to fashion. It can advance the way we produce and wear clothing. I hope technology never replaces the authenticity of a designer who creates garments, but I am genuinely interested in how it can be used for beneficial purposes.

For instance, temperature regulated clothing. If the clothing we wore could decrease or increase the temperature for us, that could be a beneficial factor. Maybe this is something that could be provided for the homeless throughout the winter months. We already know there’s clothing out there that will charge your phone or that is water resistance, but who knows what the future of technology will bring to the clothing industry. Maybe it will have a positive impact on humanity.

My heart is centered around sustainability and secondhand clothing. With the younger generations becoming more eco conscious, this trend is expected to grow and gain mainstream attention. Consumers will be more concerned of how and where their clothing is made.  Organic fabrics, biodegradable materials, fair trade, and upcycling will be the focus of this movement. I say movement because I truly believe we must make this a bigger priority in our shopping habits. I love this planet, and I just hope more people will commit to buying sustainable.

Here’s an article I found that lists 30+ of the most ethical and sustainable fashion brands in the USA and Canada. You can add one more to that list with AVCD!
