Rethinking our pace
Faced with the unbridled acceleration of fashion, we are taking a step aside. In a sector that produces too much, too fast and often without a future, the Vilebrequin Foundation defends another path: that of the long term, of thought out material, of sustainable creation.The textile industry is responsible for almost 10% of global CO₂ emissions and is one of the largest consumers of freshwater. This model is no longer sustainable. It's time to slow down — to do better.In contrast to fast-fashion, we support designers, researchers and entrepreneurs who imagine a more sober, more circular, more lively fashion, against the logic of waste.
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 Vilebrequin 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.
