GABRIELA HEARST
Using responsibly sourced cork,
HEARST was able to achieve her signature platform look with a lighter material for the Torque wedge heel, shown here.
The designer has long used sustainably sourced materials, ranging from
by-product shearling and recycled cashmere to hand knitting by women’s collective Manos del
Uruguay. Hearst also brought those processes to Chloé as its new creative director, helping the brand to reduce its environmental footprint by for fall ’21, compared to the previous year’s line.
By 2022, Hearst will eliminate the use of all virgin materials in her own collection.
