Increasing Production Of New Clothes Is ‘Cancelling Out’ Carbon Reduction, Says WRAP  - Skywire
Tumblr media
Urgent environmental concerns are continuing to dominate much of the public conversation about the fashion sector. And climate action non-profit organisation (NGO), the Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP), has recently issued a fresh warning on the state of efforts to combat such concerns. 
Specifically, the organisation has said that while the fashion sector has been striving to minimise the environmental impact of the clothing it sells, this push has been undermined by an ongoing addiction to purchasing new clothes. 
‍Genuine progress, but also much reason for concern 
WRAP’s warning was spelled out in its recent annual progress report in relation to Textiles 2030, the NGO’s voluntary environmental pact that counts such big names as Primark and Asos among its signatories. 
Although the 130 participating brands and retailers had achieved a 12% reduction in the carbon impact of their textiles between 2019 and 2022, the same period had seen a 13% increase in the volume of textiles produced and sold. 
As also reported by The Guardian, the average Briton is purchasing 28 items every year. It is a statistic that draws attention to how, in WRAP’s words, hard-won gains are being “cancelled out” due to the production of clothing “spiralling upwards”. 
‍Do fashion brands – and consumers – need to do more to shift their habits?
There is no question of what a profound role the fashion industry can play in tackling the climate crisis; as the newspaper also noted, textiles and fashion are responsible for as much as a tenth of the world’s carbon emissions. 
Director of behaviour change and business programmes at WRAP, Catherine David, said that the recorded progress the brands involved in Textiles 2030 had made, showed it was possible to change the aforementioned situation. 
However, she lamented that as “as fast as positive improvements happen, they’re cancelled out by rising production”. 
She also drew attention to the role that consumers had to play, stating: “We’re working with companies to improve clothes, but the other part of the equation is our role as shoppers. We [the UK] buy more clothes than any other nation in Europe.” 
Addressing those consumers directly, she said: “Moving into winter is the perfect time to look through our wardrobes – wear what we have and consider whether it’s time to let something go. 
“You can donate, sell, or give clothes away – it all helps them move around the economy and reduce the amount produced.” 
Meanwhile, WRAP has urged businesses to design clothes with greater longevity in mind, encompassing good recyclability and durability, as well as a higher proportion of recycled content. 
Those words will doubtless be borne in mind by many of the brands that are working to optimise theirluxury marketing strategy with the help of the Skywire London team. 
As a leading digital marketing agency serving high-end, fashion, and lifestyle brands, we very much echo WRAP’s call for brands in these sectors to be relentless in their sustainability initiatives.

GLITCHES, DIRT + RUDE JOKES
within luxury, fragrance has arguably been slower to change. still largely a closed & exclusive world, founded in v specific & expensive education in Grasse and master nez whose fathers' fathers' fathers were perfumers too
-
but there are signs that all this is shifting: online spaces like Fragrantica & TikTok are giving people a voice in fragrance. on perfumetok, influencers like @cyrafabulous & @vaniamickelle command huge audiences and have the power to drive virality around a perfume (or not). and as Black women, they're unsettling the privileged establishment of the fragrance world at large
-
in these spaces, it's real takes from real ppl that have currency. people are undercutting brand-driven hype & marketing in favour of cheaper dupes. there's increasing awareness for e.g. that often, the perfumer behind a super expensive fragrance has created a much more affordable scent for another brand
-
but people are not only undercutting brands - they're also taking on the job of brands. ppl themselves are acting as storyteller & meaning-maker - roles that have previously been the reserve of luxury fragrance especially. today, a quick scroll on Fragrantica will surface elaborate narratives in perfume reviews, positive, negative & anything in between, of the stories, scenes & experiences that a scent calls to mind:
-
Tumblr media
-
on top of how the culture around fragrance is shifting, there's also the evolution of the premium fragrance space. similar to the fragmentation of the skincare category ~10yrs back, smaller, more niche brands (like Heretic Parfum, Commodity & Bleu Nour) are meeting people's desire for more unique, less 'obvious' (& even weird, potentially off-putting) scents that signal individuality & allow ppl to express their own tastes & identities
-
alternative types & ways of wearing fragrance that centre the individual are also attracting attention. the growth of unisex fragrances puts the focus on the individual & how they want to smell beyond the bounds of gender. meanwhile, the technique of layering opens the door to creativity, experimentation & an altogether looser, more flexible way to wear fragrance: mix & match to create your own unique scent for today, and mix it up again depending on how you feel tomorrow
-
bringing all this together, what's defined luxury fragrance up until now is being challenged. exclusivity is no longer a given nor necessarily aspirational; and people themselves are taking on the taste-making & storytelling that's previously been the reserve of luxury brands. amidst all this change, luxury fragrance brands will need to work harder to 'prove' themselves & earn a place in people's lives
-
so - what are the emerging meanings & narratives of luxury fragrance that offer brands an opportunity to keep pace with this cultural shift?
-
i did a lil cultural scan to find out :)) looking across the landscape of luxury fragrance (fragrance-only brands + fragrances from the luxury maisons) to identify signals of change & to distill them into narrative strands that point towards the future direction of the category
-
...and here we are! three emerging narratives of luxury fragrance:
-
01. LIMINAL EXPLORATION
Tumblr media
fragrance has long been a way to enhance our lived & imagined realities - on the one hand, a way for people to tangibly aspire to femininity, masculinity, status, seduction & so on; and on the other, a way to transport us to faraway places, to evoke memories, emotions & experiences
-
what emerges here is a narrative of luxury fragrance that brings both lived & imagined together: not two opposing ends of a binary spectrum, but existing simultaneously, all at once. fantasy appears in reality, while the real world glitches - all of which shows up in uncertain, fragmented imagery that unsettles & disorients our sense of what exactly we're looking at, and where we are between physical & imagined realms
-
like this, luxury fragrance blurs & dissolves the boundary between reality & the metaphysical (fiction, dreams, imagination, etc.), & in doing so, gives us the means to explore one of the most important & discomfiting questions of our times. when intelligence can be artificially produced & creativity can be artificially generated, when we are constantly negotiating this bleed between the tangible (physical, offline) & intangible (digital, emotional, imaginary) - what's real & what's unreal?
-
02. ROOTED CRAFT
Tumblr media
traditionally, it's the perfumer who represents the epitome of mastery, dedication & craft in the world of luxury fragrance. even relatively recently founded brands like Frederic Malle & Maison Francis Kurkdjian put their master perfumers front & centre in their brand names
-
but in our second emerging narrative of luxury fragrance, craft is relocated in the people & places that grow perfume’s raw materials. it's about the care & dedication that these growers put into tending & nurturing their fields, and it's about reconnecting fragrance to its origins in nature. we also have a retelling of heritage, now centred in ancient agricultural knowledge & ways of life. visually, this is not the polished & perfect images of perfume notes that are dominant in the category, but a rough & organic expression of naturalness that's close to the earth & covered in dirt
-
like this, luxury fragrance offers us a reconnection to the land as well. at a time when this connection is scarce (in urban life) & threatened (the climate crisis), Rooted Craft offers a more meaningful, authentic & culturally resonant expression of mastery & tradition
-
03. PLAYFUL SATIRE
Tumblr media
luxury fragrance has typically been a pretty 'serious' category. as mentioned, there's that sense of it being a closed & exclusive world, one that requires education & expertise to truly access. and for wearers of fragrance too, established ideas of the 'signature scent' - needing to define & express all of yourself in a single fragrance - makes perfume feel like a serious, even pressured endeavour
-
Playful Satire turns all this on its head. a knowing takedown of fragrance's foundations, this narrative shift pokes fun at the category's usual seriousness & formality with humour, wit & a sly wink. fragrances & their notes are almost disrespected, chucked into a car boot & made into an everyday commodity. the promise of seduction becomes a bawdy joke
-
all of this reflects the growing democratisation & inclusivity of fragrance in online spheres. while premium brands are responding by opening up the world of fragrance, in educating & guiding their audiences (two examples here & here), what we see in Playful Satire is a complete subversion of everything that's made fragrance undemocratic & exclusive up until now. after all, only luxury could be fearless enough to tear up the rulebook they wrote themselves
-
WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM THESE EMERGING NARRATIVES?
as ever, any learnings we might take from these narratives depend on the brand: where they are today & their ambitions for tomorrow. and what's the scope too - are we looking at changing meanings of luxury fragrance in order to reposition into a more future-facing space? is it about generating inspiration for innovation?
-
just for the purposes of rounding off this blog post (!), let's look at comms & creative. here are some ideas for luxury fragrance brands to dip their toe into more emergent territory:
-
by blending the real & unreal - lots of this is in the specifics of execution, for e.g., glitchy treatments applied to real world photography, fantastical scenes created with practical effects not CGI - all to ultimately create a feeling of uncertainty what's real & what's not
by surfacing the people & places that grow perfume's raw materials - as part of storytelling around craft & heritage, show the growers, the fields, the deserts where your raw materials originate, and show those raw materials in their natural state, dirty & muddy, not perfectly polished
by not taking fragrance so seriously! - while a fully Playful-Satire approach will probably not be right for most luxury fragrance brands (especially the established luxury houses), touches of humour & lightheartedness in TOV can still help brands to tap into the growing democratisation & inclusivity of fragrance in culture
-
...and that's it! if you read this far, thank you :) as a cultural strategist & semiotician, luxury & beauty are two of the key categories I work in. I love to partner with brands in these spaces, so please feel free to reach out if you'd like to chat more
-
the thing about luxury though is that most of the brands are West European. but there's SO much interesting stuff going on in China & Japan (the two markets I specialise in) around fragrance - my plan is to next look at the premium spaces in these markets, so watch this space for more cultural goodness x

What Applications Might The Fashion Sector Have For Apple’s New Vision Pro Headset
One of the topics of conversation in the consumer technology world over this past week has been Apple’s unveiling of its entry into the mixed-reality headset market, the Vision Pro. It’s a category of devices that hasn’t quite delivered on the hype to date, with the headsets of such brands as Meta and Snap having failed to catapult augmented and virtual reality (AR and VR) into the mainstream. 
Still, the Cupertino firm has a track record of getting itself involved in product categories later than others, only to then become the dominant force in that category. 
This brings us neatly onto the subject of what the Vision Pro could do for the world of fashion. So, if you are currently devising or fine-tuning your brand’sluxury marketing strategy, in what ways could this device be used to deliver on your goals and support your business’s growth? 
‍The fashion-sector experts have weighed in on the Vision Pro’s potential relevance 
Various well-placed observers have come up with their verdicts on how the Apple Vision Pro could affect the fashion sphere. 
The Glossy website referenced several of them in a recent article, including Camilla McFarland, VP of operations at the Mojito Web3 platform, who noted that Apple avoided using the terms VR, AR, or the metaverse when announcing the headset, in favour of “spatial computing”. 
McFarland said that this tactic enabled Apple to “reset the conversation on their own terms”, adding: “Terms aside, it’s still about enabling a more digitally immersive future for consumers. For brands, it will be even more important now to have a digitally immersive experience and a digital product strategy.” 
Certainly, Apple’s presentation videos for the device in its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) keynote gave the impression of a headset that will help to make impressively immersive experiences possible. 
In the words of Matthew Drinkwater, who helms the Fashion Innovation Agency: “With volumetric video through the Vision headset, you can imagine a very different catwalk experience in your own home.” 
And the agency would have good reason to know; not long ago, it completed an artificial intelligence (AI)-generated catwalk project entailing the use of volumetric capture, which is a technique in which multiple cameras and sensors are used. 
Headsets would seem to work well with such technology; as Drinkwater added, “from a designer or brand perspective, you can have any environment grow more immersively around you.” 
The Vision Pro appears to hold a lot of potential for fashion ecommerce applications, too. Simon Windsor, founder of Dimension Studios, stated that “when you want to browse through a clothing catalogue online and identify specific items of interest to you, you’ll be able to bring them up, rotate them and interact with them through photorealistic 3D renderings, ultimately purchasing them through the headset.” 
It’s also interesting to note that Apple has integrated the real-time Unity 3D development platform into the Vision Pro, given that such Web3 brands as The Fabricant and the Institute of Digital Fashion have already experimented with it. 
However, the experts referenced by Glossy also mentioned the high price point of the device, and Apple drawing attention to the scope for people to depend solely on the headset. 
In light of this, some of them anticipated that the Vision Pro’s principal rival would actually be the MacBook, with the former especially attractive due to how the headset could allow for the more seamless management of immersive projects. 
‍Much remains to be seen about where the Vision Pro could make its greatest impact 
Of course, at this point in time, so much that is suggested about how the Apple Vision Pro could reshape and influence the fashion sector is mere speculation, especially as the device itself is not set for release until next year. 
Nonetheless, the potential for Vision Pro to play into your own brand’s luxury marketing strategy – and plan for growth – could yet turn out to be greater than you even imagine. 
Would you like to have a conversation with the Skywire London team about how we could provide our own support to your high-end brand’s objectives for 2023 and beyond? If so, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our specialists today by phone or email.

Gucci: A Journey Through Triumph and Turmoil in Luxury Fashion
Humble Beginnings
Guccio Gucci, the founder of the renowned luxury brand, started his journey in his parents' straw hat shop.However, when the family business went bankrupt, he found himself penniless and in need of a fresh start.
Guccio moved to London, where he worked at the prestigious Savoy Hotel. There, he noticed the affluent guests carrying expensive luggage and wearing fine leather goods as symbols of status. This inspired him to dream of opening his own leather shop catering to high-end customers.
After serving in World War I, Guccio returned to Italy with a wealth of knowledge about the leather goods industry. In 1921, he opened a small shop in Florence. As demand for his unique designs grew, he expanded his operations by opening a workshop and hiring employees. Despite financial struggles, Guccio taught his sons the intricacies of the business. With their encouragement, he expanded to Rome, Milan, and eventually New York City.
Tumblr media

Family Feuds and Expansion
The history of Gucci is marked by family turmoil and power struggles. Guccio's sons inherited the company after his death, but conflicts over control of the brand soon emerged. The third generation of the Gucci family had different visions for the company's future. Tensions escalated when Maurizio Gucci married Patricia Regiani against his father's wishes and took ownership of 50% of the company.
Maurizio's decision to eliminate Gucci's licensing deals initially cost the brand over $100 million. However, this move ultimately helped establish Gucci as an exclusive luxury brand. Meanwhile, Paulo Gucci's attempts to create his own fashion line were costly and unsuccessful. The family's constant drama kept them in the public eye but tarnished the brand's image.
Tumblr media
The Downfall of Maurizio Gucci
Under Maurizio's leadership, Gucci faced significant challenges. He convinced the family to sell their shares to Invest Corp, and with the company now 50% owned by Invest Corp, Maurizio implemented major changes.
He aimed to make Gucci an exclusive brand for the wealthy by reducing the number of stores, cutting the accessories line, and eliminating the classic GG logo.
While some of his decisions did elevate Gucci's status, the company began losing $30 million annually. Unable to pay salaries or suppliers, Gucci was on the brink of bankruptcy. Invest Corp, growing nervous, suggested appointing a new CEO. Maurizio refused, leading Invest Corp to buy out his 50% share for $150 million. Although Maurizio's predictions eventually came true and the brand's fortunes turned around, it was too late for him. In a tragic turn of events, he was murdered by a hitman hired by his ex-wife, Patricia Reggiani, who was later imprisoned.
The Tom Ford Era and Beyond
After the tumultuous period of family control, Gucci entered a new era under the creative direction of Tom Ford. By 1996, Gucci's sales had nearly doubled from $263 million to $500 million. With the Gucci family no longer involved, the brand was free from internal power struggles. Invest Corp capitalized on this success, making Gucci a publicly traded company and reaping a $2 billion profit from their investment.
However, in 1997, a drop in Gucci's stock price, coupled with an economic crisis in the Japanese luxury market, created an opportunity for LVMH to buy shares at a discount. Bernard Arnault, CEO of LVMH and known for his aggressive acquisition strategies, saw potential in Gucci.
Tumblr media
The iconic Tom Ford and Domenico De Sole duo eventually resigned from the company in 2004. Despite this, Gucci has continued to thrive, becoming one of the most popular luxury brands worldwide, with over 500 stores and about 50 million followers on Instagram. The brand's journey from humble beginnings to global dominance is a testament to its enduring appeal and resilience.
