Re: Can fashion go green?
I think it will take some time for everyone to change how they produce their goods.
Question: Can fashion go green?
Andrew Spade: I think fashion can go green. I think it should go green. I think it will take some time for everyone to change how they produce their goods, and research and resource kind of fabrics in countries where these things are done in an appropriate way for the environment, and for the people who are making these products. But I . . . it is going green, and the companies that have either launched as a green company or are doing products that are green have been successful. So obviously that's a sign that it's working and people are moving in that direction. It obviously is healthy for business too, which I think has been in a lot of cases over . . . throughout history, if that's something that people desire it actually helps move in that direction.
