From non-toxic, water-resistant fabrics to alternative leather made from cacti, here are revolutionary textiles paving the way for sustainable style.

The future of materials presents a major opportunity on this frontier – creating fabrics that can be produced without using the dyes or chemicals that pollute waterways. It’s also about crafting clothes that are hardy enough to go the distance and remain objects of value season after season – instead of contributing to the tonnes of textile waste that end up in landfills every year.
