Between Balenciaga’s fashion show featuring a single digital model and London-based Auroboros’ first digital ready-to-wear collection, who hasn’t noticed that virtual fashion is in this fashion week? This technological breakthrough might be aesthetically futurist and intrinsically cool, but it can also serve another purpose: making the fashion industry more sustainable.
Each year, 92 million tonnes of textiles are either dumped into landfills or burned in incinerators, which gravely pollutes the environment and degrades our ecosystems. To combat this, British company Yellow Octopus has launched its reGAIN app, aiming to change people’s habits of throwing away unwanted clothes and find solutions to recycle textile waste. We spoke to Janet Nakonechna, collaboration manager at the company to find out how it works – and what the future holds for fast fashion.

Do you remember a few years ago we saw the rebirth of 90s plastic chokers, chunky platform trainers and pastel crop tops?
The 90s-00s trend came back from a 20-year hibernation to cycle once more into our fashion aesthetic. Just before it, came the 80s’ puffed-up shoulders and the psychedelic tie-dye and XXL collars from the post-Woodstock era.
My love for real fur was triggered at age five or six. When playing in my grandparents’ house with my cousin, we discovered my late grandmother’s wardrobe. It was just incredible. It had silk dresses, high heels and a beautiful cropped white-rabbit-fur jacket. My cousin and I used to dress up and create short films with my aunt’s camera where we would play worldly women. As we were so little, the jacket fitted us like an ankle-length coat and had this regal feeling that we loved so much.
