“I want to do my best to take care of the planet by designing with recycled and eco-friendly materials. I think we all have to start with what we know because it can seem like a daunting task since I feel the world is in crisis. I design clothing, so I figured I'd start there.”

Eco Fashion: A Different Kind of Bottom Line
Fashion Takes Action aims to inspire and guide your fashion-based business as it figures out the best way to sustainability, for you and for your customers. We help you translate sustainable design and action into your context using a wide variety of educational tools such as hands-on workshops, webinars, speaker sessions and one-on-one consultation.
No matter the size or scope of your operation, working with FTA can bring you many returns on your investment financially, socially and environmentally:
- Reduced operating costs
- Enhanced brand and image reputation
- Increased sales and customer loyalty
- Increased ability to attract and retain employees
- Effective and lasting change through smart programming
- Reduced eco-footprint with wiser production, use and disposal practices
- Renewable spirit of enterprise from overall organizational health
Fashion Takes Action is all about transformation and inclusivity. We know that sustainability doesn't happen with one or two actions - it's about ongoing learning, and building on successes. That is why we welcome all - from emerging and independent designers, to established retail brands, no matter where you are on the runway or production line toward sustainability.
Whatever your shade of green, our Studio offers a number of learning opportunities designed to help you set goals, build capacity, address barriers to action, and deepen your green communications savvy.
The Studio is open to anyone who would like to participate or use our resources (but of course we encourage you to check out the benefits and cost savings that come along with Membership!).
