Šis postas skirtas mūsų draugams Lietuvoje, kurie galvoja, ar be kelių sėkmingų startupų yra dar kur exciting dirbti Lietuvoje. Yra. Šiandien nebe pirmas kartas, kai giriu ABOUT. Daugeliui gerai pažystamą prekės ženklą (iki šiol labiau žinomą kaip Utenos Trikotažo seserį) ir tik mados insaideriams gerai žinomą kaip lietuvišką prekės ženklą, kuriam pavyko "prasimušti" į elitines mados parduotuves (kaip Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche, čia ir nuotraukoje; MATCHESFASHION Woman; KaDeWe ir t.t.). Pavyko dėl to, kad ABOUT gamina puikų produktą, kuriam kainos, kokybės, medžiagų inovatyvumo ir ekologiškos gamybos santykiu nelabai yra daug konkurentų. Tuos vadinamus basic body wear produktus (kur atrodo geriau nei kardashianų skims ir yra nepalyginamai geresnės kokybės, nekalbant jau apie etišką gamybą ir tvarumą) šiuoliakiniai vartotojai ypatingai vertina.

Jei galvojate, kad tai jau viskas, tai ne viskas. ABOUT šiuo metu keičiasi iš esmės, plečia komandą ir (pagaliau!) šauna į tarptautinę rinką ne tik per didmenos partnerius, bet ir savo (wait for it) D2C platformą. Todėl ABOUT itin intensyviai plečiasi, struktūrizuojasi ir ruošiasi naujam etapui. Trumpai tariant, ieškome (yep, aš čia irgi įsivėlus) Performance Marketing žmogaus (gali būti Jr., gali būti jau pagyvenęs, turime įvairių idėjų). Svarbu, kad būtų tvirtuose ilgalaikiuose (arba perspektyviuose) santykiuose su paid media. Tai jei galvojate kur čia dar kietai Lietuvoje dirbti digital marketing - štai jums išdaviau paslaptį (čia aišku tiems, kam ne visvien kokią pridėtinę vertę kuria ir atsakingas verslas laimi prieš rooftop pool ofise). Parašykite man [email protected] (ne per messenger).

“While fashion companies are speaking about sustainability more than ever before, The Business of Fashion’s comprehensive analysis found actions are lagging public commitments, even among the industry’s largest and most highly resourced businesses.

Fashion has a prominent role to play in solving these dual challenges, both because of its global scale and its cultural influence. While fashion brands have stepped up their commitments to operate more responsibly, measuring progress in a comparable, standardised way is a monumental task.”

A new report from The Business of Fashion — The BoF Sustainability Index — aims to offer a transparent and trusted benchmark to track measurable progress.

Brands are talking about sustainability more than ever before, but does their rhetoric stand up to scrutiny? BoF’s new report, The BoF Sustainability Index, benchmarks 15 of the industry’s biggest companies against ambitious environmental and social goals and finds fashion is falling short.

You can’t have a conversation about fashion these days without touching on the topic of . The industry’s environmental impacts — from greenhouse gas emissions to microplastics, biodiversity loss and water ecotoxicity — are well-known by consumers and companies alike. But awareness isn’t enough. All eyes are on brands to usher in a new era for fashion, one where industry operates within the means of the planet.

What’s keeping brands from leaping into action isn’t complacency. The slow pace of improvement is largely linked t five common pitfalls.

Sponsored: The industry is on the verge of a climate revolution, but progress is getting bogged down by semantics and distracted by low-hanging fruit.

The days when it was enough to have models walking on a catwalk made of moss to demonstrate and environmental awareness are definitely over. Such staging guarantees beautiful pictures, but consumers demand more. Generation Z openly rejects what is ideologically questionable and more and more representatives of the other generations are attaching increasing importance to sustainability.

According to a study by the management consultancy McKinsey & Company, more than half of the fashion industry’s global purchasing directors consider sustainability to be one of their most important business strategies.
