🇬🇧 Green law, dirty leather: LVMH and deforestation

LVMH-owned Italian leather maker lobbied to weaken EU anti-deforestation law while importing hides linked to forest destruction, NGO says.

Greenwashing has become so pervasive that the connection between LVMH and deforestation rarely springs to mind when thinking of the luxury giant. But a new investigation by environmental NGO Global Witness suggests it should.

Traceability gaps. 100,000+ hectares of deforestation. Indigenous land at risk.

This is what "luxury fashion” can look like behind the green promises.
From green certifications to greenwashing, the pattern is familiar.

🇮🇹 Leggi green, pelle sporca: LVMH e deforestazione

Una conceria italiana di proprietà di LVMH ha fatto lobbying per indebolire la legge europea anti-deforestazione mentre importava pelli legate alla distruzione delle foreste, secondo quanto denunciato da un’ONG.

Il greenwashing è talmente pervasivo che il legame tra LVMH e deforestazione raramente viene in mente quando si pensa al colosso del lusso. Ma una nuova indagine dell’ONG ambientalista Global Witness suggerisce che dovrebbe essere così.

Buchi nella tracciabilità. Oltre 100.000 ettari di foresta distrutti. Terre indigene in pericolo.
Questo è il volto della "moda di lusso" dietro le promesse verdi.
Dalle certificazioni ecologiche al greenwashing: la solita storia.

🇬🇧 The normalisation of greenwashing
As sustainability fades from fashion’s agenda, misleading claims fill the void

We came across a Business of Fashion interview with H&M’s CEO and CSO. The headline? “H&M says sustainability is good for business. Can it get shoppers to care?”

Sounds reasonable. Until you read between the lines.

Because here’s what’s missing from that conversation:
❌ No mention of overproduction
❌ No questions about a business model built on volume
❌ No scrutiny — just a quote shifting responsibility onto consumers

This isn’t a failure of the system. This is a feature of it.

When sustainability quietly fades from the agenda, greenwashing becomes acceptable. Safe. Normal.

🇮🇹 La normalizzazione del greenwashing
Mentre la sostenibilità scompare dall’agenda della moda, le affermazioni ingannevoli riempiono il vuoto

Ci siamo imbattuti in un'intervista di Business of Fashion con l'amministratore delegato e la CSO di H&M. Il titolo? "H&M dice che la sostenibilità è buona per gli affari. Può convincere i clienti a interessarsene?"

Sembra ragionevole. Finché non leggi tra le righe.

Perché ecco cosa manca da quella conversazione:
❌ Nessuna menzione della sovrapproduzione
❌ Nessuna domanda su un modello di business basato sul volume
❌ Nessuna analisi critica — solo una citazione che scarica la responsabilità sui consumatori

Questo non è un fallimento del sistema. È una sua caratteristica.

Quando la sostenibilità svanisce silenziosamente dall'agenda, il greenwashing diventa accettabile. Sicuro. Normale.

“#Australia is the largest producer of #wool in the world, and while the fibre was once spun and finished here, ready to be made into new #garments, since the 1980s it has been shipped overseas – resulting in an estimated $2.6 billion annual loss for the #FashionIndustry.

On Thursday, the #AustralianFashionCouncil announced the “National Manufacturing Strategy for Australian Fashion and Textiles” with industry partner #RMWilliams and a parliamentary committee steered by federal Labor MP Matt Burnell.

Dean and Melanie Flintoft rescued #SilverFleece, a 75-year-old #KnittingMill in South Australia, from liquidation. AFC executive chair Marianne Perkovic called the strategy “a significant investment in the future of national #manufacturing”.
The first item on the agenda? More onshore #WoolProcessing.”

What does it truly take to build an independent fashion brand today?
Cosa serve davvero per costruire un brand di moda indipendente oggi?

Consti Gao, co-founder and designer of JAMPROOF, a Chinese brand I discovered at White Milano, has written a profound reflection on this subject.

“The system no longer waits. Not for ideas. Not for clothes.”
“Il sistema non aspetta più. Né le idee. Né i vestiti.”

Sometimes, the most radical act is simply to keep pushing, thread by thread, season after season.
A volte, l’atto più radicale è semplicemente continuare a spingere, filo dopo filo, stagione dopo stagione.
