Sustainable Fashion Trends Around the World
Newsweek Europe
|May 12, 2023
Staying on trend can have a steep price when it comes to the environment, but 2023 is shaping up to be the year sustainability is sexy
Around the world, fashionistas, industry critics and lawmakers alike are calling for major change in response to recent years' record clothing waste, greenhouse gas emissions and water pollution. From returning to ancient dye methods to designing high fashion using bacteria to proposing continent-wide reforms, here are some of the innovative ways creatives around the world are making fashion a little more green
01 Upcycle Nation
LOS ANGELES
A new FuseTV reality television series shows just how trendy upcycling can be. Reminiscent of Project Runway, Upcycle Nation invites designers and artists-many known for their viral clothing-repurposing videos on TikTok and Instagram-to take their talents TV-side. Contestants compete to turn everyday items into wearable fashion. Think: potato sack into fashion-forward pants.
02 Dumpster-Diving Activism
DALLAS
Instead of influencer haul videos-unending "unboxings" of PR gifts sent to TikTok's elite-a new type of haul is taking over the app: dumpster divers' "trash hauls," calling out companies' wasteful practices. Tiffany Butler (aka Dumpster Diving Mama) posted a video of her discovery of slashed and trashed Coach purses thought to be destroyed by employees; after it went viral, Coach said it would no longer destroy and dump unsold bags. "I love that I'm making a change," Butler says. Another plus? "Free stuff, of course."

MELISSA PETERMAN
FOR MELISSA PETERMAN, THE FIRST SEASON OF NBC'S HAPPY'S PLACE WAS A dream come true; getting a second season is an embarrassment of riches. “Getting a pilot is the lottery. Getting that pilot picked up is another gigantic win that is getting rarer and rarer.” Peterman plays Gabby, friend and co-worker of Bobbie, played by Reba McEntire, owner of the fictional tavern Happy’s Place. The sitcom reunites Peterman and McEntire, who first appeared together on Reba. “I think there is value in the second banana. There's value in the sidekick.” While fans see her as way more than just a sidekick, Peterman knows how rare it is to get a second chance with a hit sitcom. “It’s almost more precious because I know how rare it is to get a second chance with your best friend.” Busier than ever, Peterman also co-hosts Hallmark's Finding Mr. Christmas. “I would be really sad if I didn’t get to host a game show or go be with people. I genuinely like people.”
