Walk the Runway for Water Post-Event
2024 Highlights
The aim of Walk the Runway for Water was to raise awareness about the correlation between water and fashion. As the second most water-intensive industry globally, the fashion industry consumes a significant amount of water, while many people worldwide do not have access clean drinking water.
Collaborating with Runway 7 Fashion, the biggest fashion platform in the nation, presents a crucial chance for Walk the Runway for Water to discuss with more than 300 attendees the pressing need for the fashion industry to establish a route towards achieving net zero carbon emissions. Additionally, it is imperative to enhance other sustainability measures such as water usage efficiency, soil health, conservation, and biodiversity.
The Walk the Runway for Water event conveys a strong message to the fashion industry about the increasing need for sustainable fashion. This encourages more brands to adopt eco-friendly practices, which in turn strengthens the market for ethical fashion and promotes a culture of social responsibility within the industry.
