This is the catalyst that will trigger a completely different era of thinking. We will see a whole new attitude to fashion and lifestyle. We will come out the other side thinking very carefully about what’s important. Renting, preloved, recycled, up-cycling, sustainable and circular by design will all become mainstream concepts. Brands without integrity without a reason to be will be forgotten
