A crystal-ball look into tomorrow's wardrobe: conscious, fair, slow, upcycled, biointelligent, digital ... the fashion industry is undergoing some radical reimagining

See Inside

Overview

What will you be wearing tomorrow? Will your jacket have been grown in a lab, or your jeans coloured using bacteria? How will you access that new shirt you've got your eye on? Will we still have shops? What does the future of work look like for the people who make our garments?

The current fashion system is wasteful, environmentally harmful and exploitative. And, if we carry on as we do now, it could account for a quarter of global emissions by 2050. But creative thinkers are dreaming up new ways to craft our sartorial identities that don't wreck the planet.

In Wear Next, Clare Press - Vogue Australia's first sustainability editor - introduces us to the fascinating innovators who are redesigning fashion from the ground up and changing it in the most fundamental ways.
