An industry-wide
problem
Sustainability means rethinking the ways we create and consume. The fashion industry accounts for 10% of humanity’s carbon emissions, and it is the second-largest consumer of water worldwide. We are committed to the development of sustainable fabrics and innovative manufacturing techniques to make fashion friendlier to the planet.
Holding ourselves accountable
Sustainability innovation is an integral part of the industrial shift towards a brighter, more ecologically sound future for our oceans. The Fondation Vileberquin is heavily invested in nurturing the creative minds and remarkable talent advancing a more virtuous vision of the fashion industry. We extend our full support and offer financial assistance to start-up businesses who share our ethics and commitment to sustainability. When it comes to the Vilebrequin brand, we remain equally committed to eliminating plastic waste by investing renewable and eco-friendly materials.
Advancing
the sustainable future of fashion
We incubate creative thinking in the field by offering financial support to innovative start-ups doing good by our oceans. We aspire to a (near) future where sustainable fashion is the norm and every garment is produced from a high-quality design that has taken several environmental and ethical considerations into account.
Promoting circularity
& biodegradability
We embrace the principles of a circular economy and fund research dedicated to transforming the fashion industry through :
- The development of new sustainable fabrics and materials.
- Reducing plastic waste in the ocean and other bodies of water.
- Improving recycling programs and finding creative approaches to closing the loop.
