DKNY, Tom Ford and Reebok among companies to score 0% in Fashion Revolution report ranking top 250 firms

Almost a quarter of the world’s biggest fashion brands, such as Reebok, Tom Ford and DKNY, do not have a public plan for decarbonisation, a report has found.

The fashion industry can be highly polluting. In some casesforever chemicals have been found in the waters near factories. The industry is also a concerning source of waste, with fast fashion accused of encouraging overconsumption.

The What Fuels Fashion? report, published on Thursday, analyses and ranks 250 of the world’s biggest fashion brands and retailers – those with turnover of $400m (£313m) or more – based on public disclosure of their climate goals and actions.

Cheap, well-made fabric is available at thrift stores in the form of linens. Curtains, tablecloths, and sheets are a great source of high-quality fabrics for cheap!

And we should definitely be buying more from thrift stores, but it still doesn't solve problems for things like shoes. Eventually, they wear out. Thrift store ones fairly quickly much of the time. At least when we're talking about practical shoes rather than fashionable ones.
