Our Reading

The trend returns with a new name.

Unspun and Eileen Fisher’s focus on trust and innovation echoes the sentiments of earlier sustainability advocates. Their emphasis on circular fashion revives the 90s-era discussions on eco-friendly design. The call for trust among stakeholders feels reminiscent of past initiatives, such as the 2010s’ push for transparency in supply chains. The industry’s cyclical nature is on full display.

Trust is the new transparency.
