How fashion can fix its relationship with Indigenous communities
Non-profit Conservation International has partnered with Textile Exchange and luxury conglomerate Kering to release a new guide — Indigenous Partnership Principles for the Fashion, Apparel, and Textile Industries — as a means for the fashion industry to mend its challenged relationship with Indigenous communities. The guide helps build the bridge through its principles: "adopt a partnership mindset; respect individual peoples and communities; understand and reduce the environmental and social impact of your practices; obtain consent; be honest and transparent; collaborate directly, ideally in person, or through channels approved by Indigenous peoples and local communities; respect Indigenous and local design; pay fair compensation; contribute your knowledge and resources; build long-term partnerships; invest in the future of the craft, the industry of Indigenous peoples and local communities; and strengthen fashion, apparel and textile industry practices." {Vogue Business/paywalled}
