Fashion weeks are loud. Flashy. Hypnotic.
But behind the lights, the industry is being forced to answer a much quieter question.

What is sustainability when the cameras are gone?

In this episode of The Ethical Stitch, Michelle Alleyne breaks down what she’s seeing across recent fashion weeks in Europe, and what she’s watching for as New York Fashion Week approaches. We’re talking about the shift from sustainability as a buzzword to sustainability as a business practice. The kind that shows up in design decisions, supply chains, materials, pricing, and the willingness to be transparent.

Michelle zooms in on the worlds of haute couture and menswear, where craftsmanship, longevity, and intention can either become the gold standard or a beautiful distraction. She also calls out the era we’re leaving behind: vague claims, feel good branding, and sustainability theater.

This is a conversation about accountability.
About making fewer, better things.
About integrity being the new flex.

And as the culture shifts, Michelle is doing what The Ethical Stitch does best: amplifying the voices building the future with truth, not trends.
