Fashion professional returns to university to tackle sustainability and lands lecturer job. A fashion professional who returned to university in his early thirties to tackle the industry's environmental impact has completed his PhD and joined Bucks New University as a lecturer. Dr Gurpreet Singh, 36, already had an established career in the global fashion industry when he decided to return to university in 2021, driven by a desire to help address the industry's pressing sustainability challenges. Over the past five years he has completed his doctorate, published eight research papers, presented his work at international conferences and built research partnerships with leading fashion organisations across 13 countries. Recent research from McKinsey reveals that around two-thirds of fashion brands are falling behind on their decarbonisation targets, while 40% have seen emissions rise despite making public pledges. Singh's PhD has developed a framework called 'Sustainability Intelligence', designed to help fashion businesses embed sustainability into organisational learning, innovation and wider systemic change. Mariella Noto, Academia and Multilateral Partnerships Director at ZDHC Foundation, said: "The Sustainability Intelligence framework developed by Dr Gurpreet Singh has the potential to be a game changer - enabling smarter, more holistic sustainability decision-making and accelerating the transformation of the fashion industry." Stefano Aldighieri, former President of Another Design Studio 2.0 and former Design Director at Levi Strauss & Co., said: "I had the pleasure of engaging with Singh's work and contributing to a subject I am passionate about and which is increasingly relevant. His novel approach combines creativity with environmental, social and financial considerations, exactly the kind of thinking needed to address today's complex challenges. "Working in the industry made me conscious that sustainability could not be addressed through products and technology alone and I realised I need to adapt as the industry evolved," said Singh. "The fashion world is changing rapidly, particularly around sustainability and AI. Returning to University allowed me to combine my practical industry experience with rigorous academic research. You never stop learning." Dr Anahita Malek, Head of Graduate School and Associate Professor of Creative Industries at Bucks New University, added: "Singh is a fantastic example of how returning to university can open up a brand-new career path. He brought years of hands-on industry insight to Bucks, transformed it into meaningful research and we are thrilled to welcome him to the teaching team." Now combining research, teaching and industry engagement at Bucks, Singh hopes his journey will encourage other professionals to consider returning to higher education, regardless of where they are in their careers.

Among the companies earning five-star recognition in this year's ranking are Levi Strauss & Co., Ford, ExxonMobil, PSEG, eBay, Texas Instruments and Chevron.

Levi's, Uniqlo, and Primark turn to repairs and sewing classes to woo Gen Z. "We think it's important to empower the people who buy our clothes with the skill sets to maintain them." by Vivian Tran August 22, 2026 Photo Credit: iStock What once looked like a niche add-on for clothing brands is becoming more mainstream. Levi's, Uniqlo, and Primark are among the companies using repair services and mending classes to reach Gen Z shoppers interested in saving money and reducing waste. Here's what to know. At its core, the approach is about helping people wear their clothes longer rather than replacing them immediately. As NSJ reported, large apparel companies are expanding repairs, alterations, and sewing lessons as younger consumers show more interest in thrifting, resale, and sustainability. Levi Strauss & Co. created a 90-minute hand-stitching class for high school students after concluding that many Gen Z shoppers who were drawn to secondhand clothing did not have basic sewing skills. Students are taught four common fixes: sewing on a button, hemming, patching fabric, and repairing a tear. "We think it's important to empower the people who buy our clothes with the skill sets to maintain them, to get them to that second life," said Paul Dillinger, Levi's head of global design innovation. TCD picks " Quince spotlight. These best-sellers from Quince deliver affordable, sustainable luxury for all That push is happening against a backdrop of enormous fashion waste. As NSJ noted, the United Nations Environment Program said the world throws away or burns textile waste at a pace equal to roughly one garbage truck full of fabric every second. More background. Repairs and resale can shrink a garment's environmental footprint, especially when consumers delay or avoid buying something new. Still, the effect is limited if brands keep churning out huge amounts of fresh inventory. NSJ pointed to data from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, which found that between 2000 and 2015, global clothing production approximately doubled, even as the average garment was worn about 36% fewer times. The nonprofit also estimated that less than 1% of discarded clothing material was turned back into new apparel. Gen Z, those born from 1997 to 2012, has also been a major force behind the growth of secondhand shopping. GlobalData, working with ThredUp, estimated that U.S. sales of preowned clothing have been expanding far faster than the wider retail apparel market. Repair efforts can help retailers in more than one way. GlobalData retail analyst Neil Saunders said classes and repair services tap into "some deeper consumer needs and consumer behaviors at the moment." He told NSJ, "It puts a halo on the brand." What's being done? Companies are experimenting with different models. In 2022, Zara introduced a digital platform across 17 countries where shoppers can resell used clothing and request basic repairs or alterations. Primark has put more emphasis on teaching skills, offering free "Love It For Longer" sessions that demonstrate how to replace buttons and zippers. Uniqlo has expanded its aftercare options with repairs, embroidery, decorative sashiko mending, and restyling services. Extending a garment's usable life can save shoppers money by cutting down on how often they need replacements. Even so, some critics have said the environmental upside will stay modest unless brands also make less clothing overall. Kate Fletcher, professor of sustainability, design and fashion systems at Manchester Metropolitan University, said, "The fashion sector's primary source of impact is due to the overproduction of pieces and growing volumes of garments created." H&M Group, based in Sweden, has said repair and resale can still be worthwhile aims even though they may be tougher to turn into profitable businesses, since producing new clothing is often cheaper than prolonging the life of older items.

Levi's launches updated 700 Series as stretch denim enters its next chapter. 21 Aug 2026 Levi's has launched a renewed offering of its 700 Series of women's jeans, introducing new silhouettes and updated stretch blends as the global stretch denim market continues to grow. The new 700 Series introduces a new denim fabric blend made with Tencel, consisting of 51 percent cotton, 37 percent Lyocell, 7 percent polyester, 3 percent elastomultiester, and 2 percent elastane. The resulting fabrication offers exceptional stretch and shape retention, along with a soft touch that is comfortable from the first wear, according to the brand. Launching in time for Fall/Winter 2026/2027, the new 700 Series also includes two new silhouettes: the 722 High Rise Slim, which sits between the 721 High Rise Skinny and a straight-leg jean, and the 723 High Rise Straight, described as "the straightest and most relaxed fit" in the 700 Series to date. The fit of the 721 High Rise Skinny has been adjusted to offer a slightly wider opening at the knee and hem with a longer medium inseam, to give the style a more contemporary look. "With the revamped 700 Series, we are taking premium stretch denim to the next level," said Jill Guenza, VP of Women's Denim Design at Levi Strauss & Co., in a statement. "With the introduction of the 722 High Rise Slim and the 723 High Rise Straight, we now offer a silhouette for every woman, crafted in denim that moves with her, retains its shape, and feels luxurious from day one." Available in nine denim washes, the updated 700 Series, which includes the 725 High Rise Bootcut, 726 High Rise Flare, and 728 High Rise Wide Leg, taps into the growing demand for premium stretch denim across a range of styles and fits, rather than heralding a return to the ultra, skin-tight skinny jeans of the 00s. Despite brands from Prada and Dior to 7 for All Mankind showcasing skinny and tight jeans in recent collections, consumers' appetite for wide, straight and barrel silhouettes remains strong. The fastest-growing denim category from January to May 2026 was low-rise denim, with bootcut and straight-leg jeans among the most popular styles, according to data from Circana. That shift is taking place alongside increasing demand for premium denim, as denim mills shift focus towards developing comfort-driven, stretchable fabrics, with more sustainable blends and "performance-oriented jeans that improve comfort and functionality," according to Fortune Business Insights Denim Market Forecast. Levi's 700 Series taps into a category poised for steady growth, as the global stretch denim market was valued at 7.2 billion US dollars in 2025 and is projected to reach 11.8 billion US dollars by 2034, at a CAGR of 6.3 percent, according to Marketintelo. With premium denim in North America forecast to outpace the broader jeans market through 2031, per Mordor Intelligence, Levi's is positioning its 700 Series to capture that comfort-led demand.
