Images of unsold inventory, with garments piled high like those that end up in landfills, are mostly associated with fast fashion brands, known for their high-volume goods. However, luxury brands face similar issues of excess stock, especially in times of weakened consumer demand.

Luxury brands often employ discreet and strategic methods to offload inventory in a bid to maintain brand image and exclusivity. Destroying unsold stock has been a longstanding and controversial issue, with brands stating they are phasing out the practice due to its negative environmental impact and ethical considerations.

Luxury brands have learned to manage excess inventory discreetly, minimising the potential negative impact on their brand perception.

Two standout companies from Fashinnovation's 9th Worldwide Talks in September are determined to show us the value of what we already have. One works to ensure all discarded clothes are recycled, the other strives to make sure all unsold clothes get worn. The result is that neither old nor new clothing will end up in landfill, not on their watch. Milan Daniels, co-founder and CCO of Otrium, a company that sells unsold, excess inventory from brands, (the tags are still on the items), earned the accolade of the "most innovative of 2022" from Fast Company and raised 120 million dollars ahead of Otrium's US launch. Uddhav Bagrodia, President and co-founder of Wastewear Inc. takes clothing at the end of its life cycle, breaks it down to fiber and creates new clothing without using any dyes or pollutants, thereby forcing our industry to question the need for Pantone color standards. FashionUnited interviewed Daniels and Bagrodia about their individual approaches to lengthening the life cycle of fashion.

Originally introduced during the 1980s, the New Balance T500 is an all but forgotten tennis shoe from the footwear brand’s past. But thanks to Aimé Leon Dore, that’ll no longer be the case, as they’re integrating the model into their Fall/Winter 2023 collection. Essentially providing the sneaker the same treatment as the 550 — another classic brought out of the archive with help from Teddy Santis and company — Aimé Leon Dore has prepared the T500 in three collaborative colorways. Retaining the simple, straightforward look typical of tennis shoes from the above-mentioned era, the trio features a white leather base and subtle cream finish across their midsoles. The pairs then dress their heel tabs, lining, and branding in either red, green, or blue.

Throughout the Summer, New Balance dressed the 9060 in a few, suede-constructed colorways. This is evidently set to continue into the Fall, as the brand is about to add a “Washed Burgundy” pair to the unofficial collection. Borrowing the exact color blocking of its green and yellow-colored counterparts, this New Balance 9060 features “Washed Burgundy” across every instance of suede paneling. And whereas the mesh along the lateral side follows suit, the inserts opposite opt for a soft, light cream finish. This plays complement to many of the adjacent accents — such as the “N” logo, sole unit, lace unit, and lining — which often pair the exact same shade with brighter whites.
