Fashion and Animals: Europe’s Dilemma - Tradition or Sustainability?
For centuries, the European fashion industry has used animal-derived materials as symbols of luxury and tradition. Today, however, there is a growing demand for sustainable and cruelty-free alternatives. Let's explore how the industry is adapting to these changes in values:
Leather remains the most used animal material in European fashion due to its durability and versatility.
Fur
Silk
Feathers & Other Materials
Leather
Fur and wool, though less common, are still used in luxury sectors and specific areas.
Wool
Silk, on the other hand, is favored for high-end pieces due to its elegance and delicacy.
From 2018 to 2021, the use of recycled materials in European fashion increased by 147%, in major markets, driven by growing consumer awareness and regulations. Brands like H&M, Haglöfs, and Inditex have set ambitious goals for 2025, reflecting a strong commitment to a greener fashion industry.
Therefore, the European fashion industry is undergoing a profound transformation: tradition collides with sustainability, as consumers' environmental awareness rises.
