The fashion industry has long needed significant change — not just a radical new trend, but a full-throttle disruption. In recent months, the global health crisis has cast a spotlight on this need for a fresh strategy. A strategy to save the hand-made manufacturing delivered by independent designers, to save the consumer’s pocketbook, to save the health of our planet, and to save fashion. The mission of Not Just A Label is discovering and supporting pioneers in contemporary fashion. Today 40.000 NJAL independent designers will be launching a community-driven campaign to redefine how retail works. “Over the coming days, we will be revealing our solution to fashion’s outdated system. We are the future to fashion design, to commerce, to trade shows, to fashion weeks, to unsustainable practices. We are the future of fashion.” says Not Just A Label founder Stefan Siegel. Syzygy STREAM IED BARCELONA’S VIRTUAL RUNWAY SHOW TODAY IED Barcelona’s first virtual fashion show took place on July the 15th.
