    Description
    Description

    United Fashion is a transboundary global fashion campaign that unites designers from each of the 195 UN-recognized countries to craft animal-inspired garments sustainably and ethically. The campaign's objective extends beyond the creation of stunning fashion pieces; it aims to inspire international unity through thoughtful fashion, all while promoting wildlife conservation. Each designer will be tasked with embodying the essence of their country by finding inspiration for their garment from an animal native to their country. Through this process, the campaign will educate designers on how to create sustainable and ethically crafted garments, demonstrate to the public the existence of “green and good” clothing, and inspire all people about the plight of wild animals as a result of our treatment of the natural world and consumption of its resources. Campaign Objectives, in addition to inspiring global peace through international collaboration, United Fashion intends to,  educate established and burgeoning designers on the methodology to create sustainable and ethically crafted garments; promote and implement concepts of a circular fashion economy; demonstrate to the public on the existence of “green and good” clothing; inspire all people about the plight of animals in the wild as we consume natural resources in which we share and exemplify unity amongst all peoples.

    Implementation of the Project/Activity

    United Fashion unfolds through a meticulously planned process that engages designers globally in crafting animal-inspired garments with a focus on sustainability and ethics. Each designer will receive a comprehensive guidebook detailing ethical, fair, and sustainable fashion practices, laying the foundation for their creative process. To ensure responsible material choices, participants will gain access to a network of verified material artisans and suppliers, delegate designers will also be provided with a list of artisans and suppliers from the League of Artisans, and  delegate designers are encouraged to utilise their own sources but are advised to ensure that their suppliers follow the chain of command outlined in “The Gabby Wild Foundation Sustainable Fashion Guide”. Industry experts will conduct bimonthly webinars, covering crucial topics for establishing a "green and good" fashion business model. The campaign will be fueled by a dynamic social media presence and a traditional PR campaign, showcasing the evolving designs and spotlighting each participating designer.

    Social Media plattforms which will be used include TikTok, Youtube, Instagram, Facebook, and X . Cited facts will be provided under the branding of United Fashion. There will also be a free downloadable social media kit will be provided to all participants and website visitors.  Each delegate designer will also be featured at least once articulating their fashion and their story, which include a feature of the delegate designers, semi-finalists, and finalists has been graciously sponsored by Irk Magazine.  As the garments take shape, a series of photography sessions will capture the essence of each creation to share with the public. These photography sessions have been graciously sponsored by Global Fashion Exchange & Irk Magazine.

    The initiative will culminate with an international tour, displaying the final garments at venues worldwide. Logistics of this include: a set-up and breakdown team which will be developed after each location is determined. It will be composed of a 1-2 person leadership crew with a new team of assemblers each time.  Each piece will display the delegate designer’s name, country/flag, animal of inspiration, and sustainable/ethical contributions to the garments; A QR code will be provided for more information about the species represented and designer’s bio. each visual display will be presented on elevated motion-sensor screens to reduce their carbon footprint when not in use; all attendees of each exhibition will be emailed a virtual run-of-show of the installation, including details for piece + the free downloadable social media kit.

     United Fashion also operates as a delegate designer contest, evaluating designs based on creativity and adherence to sustainability standards, with rewards ranging from scholarships to media features. 10 semi-finalists and 3 finalists (3rd, 2nd, and 1st place) will be announced, the determination of status is based upon standardised rubrics from the following 6 committees (each with a minimum of 3 voting members): Human Rights & Ethics, Circularity, Fabric Sustainability and Construction, Carbon Calculation, Creativity, Animal Welfare & Biodiversity. The grand finale will involve a gala dinner auction of the garments, and the proceeds contribute to wildlife conservation efforts through The Gabby Wild Foundation 501(c)(3). - Location TBD

    Arrangements for Capacity-Building and Technology Transfer

    United Fashion is committed to fostering knowledge sharing across the fashion industry and among its beneficiaries through several key strategies. The initiative provides a comprehensive guidebook outlining ethical and sustainable practices, serving as a valuable resource for designers globally.  A platform will connect designers with verified sustainable artisans and suppliers, creating a network for responsible material sourcing. Bimonthly webinars hosted by industry experts will cover crucial sustainable fashion and ensure ongoing education for participants. The initiative's strong social media presence will contribute to widespread visibility, sharing insights into the creative process and promoting ethical fashion practices. The entire campaign will be accompanied by PR and Marketing through The Gabby Wild Foundation’s media department. The international tour and gala dinner auction serve as platforms to showcase the outcomes, facilitating knowledge exchange and awareness among industry professionals and the wider public. Emailed virtual run-of-shows and motion-sensor screen displays for each garment will be provided to augment the education of this campaign at the in-person events whilst making the interfaces interactive with the smallest carbon footprint feasible.Through these multifaceted approaches, United Fashion aims to create a ripple effect of knowledge sharing, inspiring positive change and ethical practices within the fashion industry and beyond. Collaboration is an essential component to combating the climate crisis, which is irrevocably linked to workers rights. In an effort to magnify the effects of this campaign, the following collaborative methods will be employed: free downloadable social media toolkit for all citizens to spread facts about this industry, eco-fashion blogger media room invitation, sustainable foundations and advocacy group partnership inclusion and invitation to contribute through knowledge, media, and/or fiscal sponsorship.

    Coordination mechanisms

    United Fashion is governed by a structured framework designed to ensure transparency, ethical standards, and effective execution. Oversight of the initiative is led by The Gabby Wild Foundation, in conjunction with a committee comprising a diverse range of stakeholders including award-winning and acclaimed circular fashion developers, ethical and sustainable fashion designers, wildlife conservationists, and Academy and Emmy Award-winning designers. The campaign is hosted by The Gabby Wild Foundation 501(c)(3).

    The Gabby Wild Foundation team members will work alongside the committee to ensure that campaign operations run smoothly and that all designers have access to the essential tools required for adhering to the provided ethical and sustainable guidelines. Through collaboration with other sustainable fashion initiatives and our own social media campaign, designers will be invited to submit their application to represent their country. The initial application will be review by a team of 5 sustainable/ethical fashion experts. The general guidelines for their application are listed below, and designers will be judged on each: All designers will be provided “The Gabby Wild Foundation Sustainable Fashion Guide” in order to understand how these guidelines are characterised and along with a sample rubric for their consideration. The general guidelines for sustainability and ethics include:  Circular material flow (closed loop systems and cradle to cradle), eco-friendly production & packaging, emission reduced production, fair, social & ethical, handcrafted, good quality, organic materials , produced locally, recycled & recyclable, resource saving production, upcycled, vegan and waste reduction.  As well as: no child labor is allowed, no forced or bonded labor is allowed, workplace conditions are documented and verifiable, freedom of association and collective bargaining are recognized, no discrimination is practiced, workers’ health and safety shall be protected, working hours, wages and benefits are respected, negative environmental impacts of production are identified and minimized.

     After selecting delegate designers to represent each country, these designers will be provided monthly personal check-ins for their design and construction by committee members to guide their development. Finalists and semi-finalists will be selected out of the 195 contestants after project submissions. The determination of status is based upon standardised rubrics from the following 6 committees (each with a minimum of 3 voting members): Human Rights & Ethics, Circularity, Fabric Sustainability and Construction, Carbon Calculation, Creativity, Animal Welfare & Biodiversity Campaign.

    The timeframe of this project startes at the development of “The Gabby Wild Foundation Sustainable Fashion Guide” in  2023. The project is a collaborative effort between Carry Somers & The Gabby Wild Foundation, and it was also sponsored by The Gabby Wild Foundation, the next step was the branding development, which took place January and February 2024, which was orchestrated by The Gabby Wild Foundation’s marketing division  and sponsored by The Gabby Wild Foundation. The next step is the opeing of application for designers, which takes place on May 1st 2024 and closes October 15, 2024.   The following step is the introduction of a webinar series on sustainable and ethical fashion issues and solutions, which takes place September & October 2024. This includes, Columbia University co-hosting the autumn 2024 webinar series from industry experts on social and environmental fashion impacts on Columbia University’s Morningside campus with invitation access to all on-campus and remote students, staff, and professorship, as well, which will be sponsored by The Gabby Wild Foundation. Follwoing that the country representatives will be announced on October 31, 2024. And stipend for participating designers are to be provided, here the goal is to seek additional sponsors and collaborators in an effort to obliterate any cost associated  for each participating designer, this will be co-sponsored by The Gabby Wild Foundation.  Semi-finalists and finalists will be announced on December 1, 2024, here the goal is to acquire sustainable fashion educational scholarships from fashion schools for all semi-finalists and finalists. The following step is to create a media and social media awareness campaign in 2025. This will be designed and implemented through the Gabby wild Foundation’s marketing and media division, the goal is to seek collaborative partners that wish to promote the campaign’s message, this will also be sponsored by The Gabby Wild Foundation. Following there will be an international installation tour of the collection in 2025, which is sponsored and managed by The Gabby Wild Foundation, the goals have been set to seek strategic partners to aid in hosting the collection at their facilities to help spread awareness. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners with tiered level of awards presented at gala- December 2026, here the goal is to acquire a series of awards (PR/media, circular fashion tools to maximise on fabric use, GHG calculation for current fashion output, direct access to artisans such as through League of Artisans, in-person travel to award gala, and fiscal award), the event will be hosted by The Gabby Wild Foundation. Following there will be an auction gala of garments with proceeds to benefit biodiversity in December 2026, here the goal is to partner with organisations for sponsorship, organisation, and production of gala, it will be hosted by The Gabby Wild Foundation.

    Evaluation

    Our short-term plan is to organize an initial screening for the delegate designer, which will be done by an internal committee using a standardised rubric. Here designers will be provided the rubric ahead of time in addition to provision of “The Gabby Wild Foundation Sustainable Fashion Guide”. Semi-finalist and finalist status is determined using standardised rubrics from the following 6 committees (each with a minimum of 3 voting members): Human Rights & Ethics, Circularity, Fabric Sustainability and Construction, Carbon Calculation, Creativity, Animal Welfare & Biodiversity.

    One critical assessment to consider for United Fashion is the potential challenge of ensuring widespread adoption of sustainable and ethical practices beyond the duration of the initiative. While the project provides valuable resources, guidance, and incentives for designers to create responsibly, sustaining these practices in the long term within the fast-paced fashion industry may require ongoing support and reinforcement. To counter this potentiality, the campaign could explore partnerships with fashion and design schools globally to involve students in the initiative. This could amplify the educational aspect of United Fashion, and by involving the next generation of designers, strengthen the longevity of the initiative's impact. A particular strength of the initiative lies in its global reach and collaborative nature. By involving designers from each of the 195 UN-recognized countries, United Fashion fosters cross-cultural exchange and representation, amplifying the message of ethical fashion and wildlife conservation on a truly global scale. This diverse participation not only enriches the creative process but also enhances the initiative's impact and relevance across different regions and communities.
