In an era where design is all too often driven by passing trends, where cost is a priority and value increasingly eroded, gt&i is working with US trade bodies, representing natural materials from hemp and cotton to wood and leather, to deliver a campaign to change attitudes to natural materials, to promote style before fashion and to champion the planet’s future champions.

The result is Only Natural – an international design competition co-ordinated by the Leather & Hide Council of America that challenges emerging designers to embrace the timeless beauty of nature and craft bespoken items in fashion and home categories.  gt&i developed the competition format, brand and digital channels and is managing PR and marketing activity.

With its knowledge of sustainable fashion and fashion marketing – and materials know-how including work to brand the US Hemp Industry, gt&i was the first port of call for a new fashion brand working to develop a range of low-eco footprint products for lovers of the outdoors.

Taking only natural materials, from hemp to cottons, the brand will challenge the premium active-wear market that is increasingly reliant on the use of synthetics. Typically derived from oils, these synthetics are known to cause lasting damage to the very environments the clothes are used in; from driving climate change in manufacture, releasing microfibres to the very persistence of non-biodegradable clothes waste.

With a brief from brand to labelling and social to web and marketing this is the sort of ethical project the team at gt&i love.  Launching Spring 2024.

The U.S. Sustainability alliance is the voice, and champion, of U.S. sustainability. One of the largest member organizations in agriculture, it represents twenty-four farming, fishery and forestry associations and supply chain partners, responsible for more than $7 billion of annual exports to the EU.

gt&i has been working with GreenOrange to deliver its outreach communications, from brand to website, from video to podcast, content creation and social media to international media relations and events.

Our mission, to share insights into U.S. production methods, provide clear data on its sustainability programs, support commercial interests and develop export opportunities for the producers it represent.

We are proud to unveil its new website here – do visit to find out more about our future.
