French luxury goods company Kering is to launch a sustainable
partnership with the London College of Fashion.
Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Kering CEO Henri-Francois Pinault said
that the industry needs “successive generationsto keep driving change”.
The new partnership and curriculum being developed with LCF “will help
shape the future of sustainable fashion”, he said.
“In my view, nothing is more important than providing the framework to
educate and inspire the next generation to act and become the change-makers
we will need to address our future challenges,” said Pinault.

“And if we get this right they will emerge with a creative talent
directed not only at creating beauty, but showing us all how beauty,
design, creativity, innovation and sustainability can co-exist.”
“Kering is renowned for high-end apparel and accessories, for
influential luxury, sport and lifestyle brands. But I would argue that by
the very nature of our industry’s innate creativity and ability to set
trends, fashion can be a powerful player in illustrating new and appealing
solutions to a more sustainable world.
