London College of Fashion x Monsoon
Monsoon, the fashion retailer, has teamed up with the University of the Arts London (UAL) and its London College of Fashion (LCF) to create a special collection of clothing that aims to eliminate waste. This collection consists of eight unique pieces, including stylish ponchos, dresses, dungarees, and jeans. The speciality of these items is that they are made using leftover materials from previous seasons, ensuring that nothing goes to waste.
Caroline Jackson, Monsoon’s design director, emphasized the company’s desire to find solutions for sustainability in fashion rather than adding to the problem. The goal is to inspire the next generation of designers to do more with fewer resources. This collection is made up of limited-edition items that are expected to sell out quickly. Monsoon’s customers appreciate the fun and femininity of these pieces, and they value making thoughtful choices when it comes to fashion.
The Director of Social Responsibility at LCF, UAL, Claire Swift, expressed their satisfaction with Monsoon’s commitment to a community-focused approach. This collaboration is unique in its focus on social initiatives, low-carbon practices, and the circular economy. It serves as a model for the broader fashion industry, showcasing how it can be more environmentally responsible.
Monsoon is determined to be a part of the solution rather than the problem in the fashion industry. This collection of one-of-a-kind, limited-edition pieces is expected to be in high demand. Monsoon’s customers not only appreciate the fun and femininity of these items but also value the conscious choices they make when it comes to fashion.
