# Sustainable Style Non-Profits Fashion Takes Action is a Canadian Social & Environment Organization By Tiana Reid | Published 2013-06-28 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fashion-takes-action References: [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/fashiontakesaction) & [fashiontakesaction](http://www.fashiontakesaction.com/) Fashion Takes Action is a Canadian non-profit organization that works to support sustainability in the clothing and apparel industries. Their approach is directed toward both ends, so to speak, as they speak to the mainstream public as well as those already in the industry as a way to focus on their collective social and environmental mission. That is to say, both consumption and creation or production are part of the conversation at large. They recently held Connect Beauty, a fundraiser in Toronto that attempted to make "the connection between sustainability, health and style." **Contact Information** Fashion Takes Action [website](http://www.fashiontakesaction.com/) Fashion Takes Action on [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/fashiontakesaction) Fashion Takes Action on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/FTAorg) Fashion Takes Action on [YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/user/fashiontakesaction) Founding Executive Director (Kelly Drennan) on [LinkedIn](http://www.linkedin.com/in/kellydrennan) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Sustainable Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop eco-friendly materials and sustainable production methods for clothing and apparel. - **Social & Environmental Responsibility:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create platforms and technologies that promote responsible practices throughout the fashion industry. - **Public Engagement for Sustainability:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design interactive experiences and campaigns that educate and inspire consumers about sustainable fashion choices. ### Who This Affects Most - **Clothing and Apparel:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate technology and data analytics to optimize sustainable production and supply chain processes. - **Non-profit and Social Organizations:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilize emerging technologies like blockchain to increase transparency and accountability in non-profit and social organizations. - **Event Management:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop event planning platforms that prioritize sustainability and eco-conscious practices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Timeless Knit Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mudana-clothing.md) - [Sustainable Clothing Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/regeneration-nation.md) - [Activism-Focused Apparel Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aeropostale-1.md) - [Immersive Fashion Week Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fashion-week-fall-2024.md) - [African Fashion Futures Incubators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/african-fashion-futures-incubator.md) - [Forest-Friendly Fashion Partnerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forestfriendly-fashion.md) - [Conscious Consumerism Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/or-collective-and-h-project.md) - [Charitable Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/couture-for-a-cause.md) - [Sustainable Fashion Store Openings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reformations-new-vancouver-location.md)
