BRINGING SUSTAINABILITY TO THE PLANTING TREES &COLLECTING RAINWATER

might not sound like the actions of a glamorous, high-end design brand, but these are just two of the things that Hermes is doing to promote a more sustainable workshop environment.

THEY ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES TO BE TAKING A GREENER STANCE WHEN IT COMES TO PRODUCING

THEIR CLOTHES. With an industry commitment to net zero emissions by 2050, more luxury fashion houses are looking to clean up their processes.

SUSTAINABILITY

REWILDING NATURE

While Hermes is keeping its efforts local, with solar panels and a large garden made up of 100 trees, brands like Chanel are thinking bigger. Their tree-planting attempts are focused on over 22,000 hectares of Sumatran rainforest. They are also a key force in promoting the preservation of a Peruvian rainforest, recently appointed a biosphere reserve by UNESCO. These actions are working to offset the brands’ carbon footprint, but a whole sustainability uprising exists within the luxury fashion industry. Chanel are also working to decrease emissions and be 100% renewable by 2025. This is a trend with a conscience!

LIVING IN A MATERIAL WORLD

You may remember, way back in 1995, a young lady by the name of Stella McCartney entered the designer world. She was dismissed by many as simply flying on the coat tails of her super-famous father, but this was a woman with a clear vision. After a few years as creative director at Chloe, she launched her own label. She wanted to redefine fashion. Stella McCartney has since been known for providing slick, sleek, high-end clothing that fits with her vegetarian lifestyle. You won’t find a single bit of animal fur, feather, skin, or leather in any of her collections. Her stance was almost radical back then, when fur was seen as a sign of class and elegance, and genuine leather was one of the >>

<< most desirable materials in the industry. But slowly, and surely, other designers have started following suit. Dolce & Gabbana are the most recent brand to repel fur, but they are unusually behind the times with this initiative. Saint Laurent, Gucci, Alexander McQueen, Versace and Armani have all promised to go fur-free. Prada is another designer powerhouse that has switched to faux fur. They have also looked at some of the other materials they use, to boost their sustainability targets. Re-Nylon is an alternative to nylon made from recycled fishing nets which the company recently trialled. They were so impressed with the material that it will be replacing nylon permanently in every future collection. Meanwhile, at Stella McCartney, designers are experimenting with MYLO. This faux leather is made out of something called mycelium; a material crafted from the roots of mushrooms. It has all the durability and

desirability of traditional leather, with none of the pain. This is likely to become a key material in many fashion houses soon! Over at Emporio Armani, designers have been working with recycled and regenerated materials, while Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen has grown fond of Polyfaille, a type of recycled polyester. If you purchase a pair of shoes from Chloe, you might notice that the soles are made from recycled flip-flops. These Ocean Soles have been collected from Kenyan beaches, helping to clear up the environment and create fashion at the same time! Chanel have zoned in on tweed, sourcing eco-responsible fabrics that are GOTS-certified, to ensure that their production has minimal impact on the environment.

Their most recent fashion show featured benches created by a refugee network. The benches were simply stacked bricks topped with cushions created from offcuts from the workshop. All these small initiatives have impressed sustainability experts and Chloe is now the first B-Corp luxury brand, leading the way for others.

THE FUTURE IS SUSTAINABLE

Luxury fashion companies are synonymous with creating investment pieces that last a lifetime, which already puts them streets ahead of fast-fashion high-street brands when it comes to sustainability, but there is still so much more they can do to reduce their environmental impact. Reducing waste should be a priority, while all materials should be either recycled, sustainable, or both. It’s not just about the environment either. Alexander McQueen is one of the brands looking to give back to the people by donating unused fabrics to fashion students at universities around the UK. Brands should be thinking about their impact at every single stage of the production process.

GET OUT OF YOUR FAST FASHION RUT WITH CLOAN

One of the best ways to adopt more sustainable consumer habits whilst enjoying the latest trends, is to rent clothes, rather than buy them. This gives you the same retail buzz that you get from buying new things but stops items from gathering dust at the back of your wardrobe and delays the inevitable trip to landfill. Cloan is one of the leaders in the rental field. Based in Gosforth, Newcastle, this pioneering fashion experience includes brands such as Ghost, Rotate, and Kitri. Cloan take care of all the washing and ironing, using environmentally friendly methods to maintain the garments to the best possible standard, and won’t charge you for any items you decide not to wear. It is a fantastic option for special occasion clothing that you would only ever wear once, or for holidays, when you don’t have time to create the perfect capsule wardrobe. Cloan have partnered with Go Climate to make sure their services are as environmentally friendly as possible. Tove Westling, Global Strategist at Go Climate, said:

“Prolonging a garment’s life by just nine months could decrease its environmental impact by as much as 30%, which is why renting is an important building block in changing the fashion industry, and our impact on the climate.”

Harewood House

Ashford Grove, Mitford

During this time, the property group has achieved a well earned reputation for creating exclusive, bespoke homes throughout both the rural heartland of the county and on the beautiful heritage coastline. Indeed, Chris’s portfolio is very extensive including over 30 residential projects in addition to acquiring many farms and important country estates including the 600 acre Budle Estate near Bamburgh, the Acton Hall Estate near Felton, The Hindley Estate near Stocksfield, and the Adderstone Mains Estate near Bamburgh to name but a few. Many of these projects have received high profile awards including Best North East Developer, Best North East Executive Home, and a “Building in Excellence” award from the LABC for their exclusive development at Mizen Court in Bamburgh. The company’s latest project, namely Ashford Grove in Mitford which is nearing completion, has again proved to be very successful and extremely sought after, and possibly one of the finest The company’s latest project, namely Ashford Grove in Mitford which is nearing completion, has again proved to be very successful and extremely and most exclusive developments in the county.

maximise, or take full advantage of, this unique site which extends to over 5.5 acres. The location, however, was absolutely perfect, lying just over 1 mile west of the sought after market town of Morpeth, and being surrounded by stunning and beautiful open countryside including the lovely nature reserve of Borough Woods. “Along with our award winning architects, JDDK, and planning consultants we set about creating a new and much approved scheme which ultimately provided 8 unique stone homes within individual plots of between 0.25 to in excess of 1 acre. We had created our vision…we were on our way…. “Over the ensuing 4 years, we built out this development in two phases of four new homes in each. Phase 1 was sold out before all of the homes were completed, and we are now just adding the finishing touches to the only remaining home for sale in the final phase, namely ‘Harewood House’.

‘Harewood House’ is without doubt one of the most imposing and largest new homes to be constructed within Ashford Grove. Occupying a prime mature site of almost 0.4 acres, this unique home provides over 4,050 sq ft of living space distributed over three floors. The internal specification and finishes have been personally upgraded by the developer on this last remaining home to provide a discerning buyer with a literally ‘turn key’ new home to the highest of specifications. In addition, the company’s consultant interior designer, Lizzie Davis, has added her flair and inspiration to creating the beautiful interiors and decorations to this new home.
