LONDON — London fashion incubator the Trampery has made the environment a top priority with the official launch of its Sustainable Fashion Accelerator program, which is meant to help young labels integrate sustainability into their business models.
Supported by the mayor of London’s Good Growth Fund and Hackney Wick’s Creative Enterprise Zone, the Trampery chose Steven Tai Studio, Sabinna, We Are Rewritten, Lara Intimates, Leticia Credidio, Sarah Baily and Been London to be part of the first cohort of labels to test the six-month program.
“So far, it’s been great. The community aspect and support system is key here,” said designer Sabinna Rachimova of Sabinna. “As a founder you feel so lonely sometimes, especially when you scale and grow. There’s always some new challenge that pops up and the Sustainable Fashion Accelerator actually answered a lot of questions I had.”
She was speaking at the launch event on Tuesday at one of the Trampery’s buildings in Fish Island Village — in the outer reaches of East London. Members of the industry toasted to the success of the new program.
“The program gave us the confidence to start approaching the business in a holistic manner. The seminars breeds a mind-set with sustainability in the forefront of everything
