The Prince of Wales is an advocate for sustainability November 13, 2019 - 07:05 GMT Emily Nash He's been at the forefront of sustainable fashion for years and now the Prince of Wales is backing a luxury clothing line created by students supported by his charity. The Modern Artisan project, launched by The Prince's Foundation, will see students from the UK and Italy create a sustainable capsule collection of menswear and womenswear as part of a new textiles skills training scheme.
Charles, who favours repairing and recycling clothes over buying new, has been known to wear suits and shoes that are decades old, and champions the use of sustainable textiles, such as wool. Jacqueline Farrell, education director for The Prince's Foundation at Dumfries House, said its education programmes were inspired by his vision. "Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, so we are proud to have partnered with Yoox Net-A-Porter group to deliver this truly innovative training programme," she said.
Charles is the second member of the royal family to put his name to a capsule clothing collection this year, after the Duchess of Sussex unveiled the Smart Set line in aid of her Smart Works charity in September.
