Unraveling High Fashion

Description

What happens when luxury brands sell more than products, but the promise of ethics, craftsmanship, and sustainability? In this episode, the team explores the growing tension between luxury fashion's premium pricing and the increasing scrutiny surrounding supply chain transparency, labor practices, and sustainability claims. Using LVMH and several of its iconic brands as a case study, the conversation examines whether today's luxury consumers are buying status, quality, or a set of values. Joining the discussion is Kirsten K. Harris, sustainability strategist and founder of Evolu, who shares insights from more than two decades in the fashion industry. Together, they unpack the realities of ESG compliance, traceability, greenwashing concerns, counterfeit markets, resale opportunities, and the future of ethical luxury. The discussion highlights why transparency, authenticity, and accountability are becoming essential business strategies for brands that want to maintain consumer trust in an increasingly skeptical marketplace.

The next generation of luxury may be defined not by what brands say, but by what they can prove. As consumers demand greater transparency, the future of fashion will belong to companies that can align premium products with authentic business practices.
