What we’re currently working on
We’re exploring how as a city we can reduce the environmental impact of our clothing choices.
In partnership with the RSA, we’ve been uncovering Leeds' unique relationship with clothing and textiles, its rich heritage, and the talent, creativity and knowledge that exists now. From the grassroots groups gathering in communities to share skills, to the mills where world-leading luxury fabrics are created to the young designers committed to working sustainably, there's so much happening here in Leeds.
What could the future hold? And how do we make it easy for people to make sustainable fashion choices? Find out what we're doing as part of #LeedsFashionFutures.

In it's first year, recycling rates in our city centre tripled from 17% to 49% which has led to it being rolled out to other cities in the UK. Leeds truly leading the way. Join us on the next stage of the journey.
