The women-led global change-making organisation and Academy partner RCGD Global presents ‘Greening the Red Carpet: The RCGD Global Framework & Sustainable Style Guide’, a free resource and interactive guide to encourage and help citizens make more conscious choices on the red carpet and beyond.
Greening the Red Carpet: The RCGD Global Framework & Sustainable Style Guide is divided into thirteen sections, each explaining a plethora of sustainability issues in the fashion industry, whilst providing readers with solutions for their own apparel choices. Designed by Co: Brand Creatives to be as helpful and as interactive as possible, the manual provides relevant examples and spotlights key organisations, individuals and fashion brands making a difference, no matter how small.
The comprehensive guide delivers an insightful, informative and accessible glimpse into the many ways the global apparel industry, from citizens and stylists to brands and communities, can participate on the red carpet and beyond. he women-led organisation founded by Suzy Amis Cameron, known for its ‘From Moment to Movement’ slogan, empowers readers to find and decide which sustainability values they want to wear and why.
“With this guide we really sought to consolidate our deep knowledge and shed insight. The conversation about sustainable dressing on the red carpet too often falls on only one or two areas, vintage and rewearing, or sustainable textiles. And whilst these are incredible ways to participate, there is a world of more out there. This is just a glimpse into what is possible.
We also recognise that there is no fully sustainable solution – for every suggestion, there is a counter effect or belief that can be offered – and many solutions are still yet to be found. Still, as we say in the guide, we believe in effort over idleness, and steps over leaps. This guide gives an overview of some of the many ways that you can make a more sustainable choice, and find your belonging in a conversation that can too often seem inaccessible and ‘not for you’. Whether the red carpet or not, we all have special moments in our lives and this guide can help. Plus, what you find in here is applicable across all apparel choices, not just red carpet ones!”
