Any *NEW* technical stories with regards to fabrics and materials?
We continue with The Circular_, our new sustainability technology, launched in SS23, by putting it on 70% of our outerwear collection. For FW23, all Picture’s technical pieces will be part of The Circular_ program, made from fabrics using existing waste within our own industry (textile). “Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed.” From recycled outerwear, organic streetwear or biosourced shells, Picture is known to have a never-ending sustainable product innovation policy. But not only. Other processes such as upcycling, waste prevention campaigns, phasing out PFCs or renting service & lifetime repair warranty are amongst other initiatives that lead the brand’s way to circularity.
