We’re built on a foundation of community, transparency, and organic scarcity. Another Tomorrow was created in response to the values of the curious, compassionate global citizen seeking elevated, thoughtful design, and tools for living one’s values. Vanessa: We are all part of an integrated, universal society. As a result, we ended up creating almost entirely custom fabrics, sourced in many cases all the way back to the farm. There was a huge disconnect between the rhetoric around sustainability and what was actually available that met both ethics and esthetics. The hardest part of the journey was building our supply chains.

The seed of the idea goes back to my childhood, living in small artistic, academic communities in the Midwest, where I was exposed by my parents to the Whole Earth Catalogue and the broader movement of responsible living and innovation through design.ĭespite intending to become an architect, I ended up in finance, focused on emerging markets, and it was only when I was on a sabbatical intended to focus on sustainable investing that I learned about the huge impact the fashion industry has on the planet and felt a deep sense of urgency to be part of the change. Seeing this for the first time? Sign up to the love letter here.Vanessa: Another Tomorrow was born from my desire to create a brand in service of both women and the planet - to offer women the ability to look incredible, feel incredible, and make a positive impact through supporting environmentally and socially responsible production with a collection of the highest quality and design. This is a key component of the Fit for 55 package and rules that carmakers should cut fleet-wide emission averages by 100% from 2035, with interim steps taken in 20. On a more positive note, the European Parliament voted last Wednesday to mandate that all new car and van sales should be zero emissions from 2035 onwards as part of the push towards cleaning up road transport. With such an approach, it is likely that there will be a slower reduction of carbon credits in the market, with 70 million removed in 2024 and 50 million in 2026 instead of the Commission’s proposed 117 million in 2024. This means that the European Parliament is likely to adopt an approach that will achieve a 63% cut in emissions, which is lower than the Environment Committee’s proposed 67% cut but an increase from the Commission’s 61% reduction.

This legislation has been viewed as a key part of European Commission’s Fit for 55 (EU’s target of reducing net greenhouse emissions by 55% by 2030) climate legislation package, causing a commotion in plenary when the outcome was announced. The final report by lead lawmaker Peter Liese on the expansion and revision of the Emissions Trading System received 340 votes against, 265 in favour and 34 abstentions by MEPs (Members of European Parliament). Last Wednesday, key climate legislation failed to pass the European Parliament. The challenges are centered around some of today’s most pertinent topics such as the environment and sustainability, mental health, democracy and participation, meaningful leisure time and discrimination.Ĭheck out Utopia Lab on Instagram and learn more about the 48 prototypes for a Utopian future!
