Demand continues to grow for vegan leather, an alternative to animal leather and with lower environmental impact. It’s made entirely from plant-based materials like pineapple, cactus, apples, or mushrooms.

Protecting the environment is one of several challenges currently facing the fashion industry. Vegan leather may well help the industry make green fashion a reality—an approach to fashion featuring a focus on sustainability, both social and environmental, but entirely free of design compromises.

For this season’s window, we created dresses featuring vegan leather made from pineapple and cactus.

In the not too distant future, traceability and other standards traditionally associated with food may well rule discussions of value within the fashion industry.
