WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY: THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 2022 Instalment payment plans could use a rethink as more shoppers fall behind on their payments, experts say. A new $250 million fund aims to use donations from the likes of H&M and Lululemon to help decarbonise the fashion industry. Kering aims to double annual sales at Saint Laurent to 5 billion euros ($5.36 billion) in the medium term. Rimowa is reviving its "Pilot" suitcase as part of a renewed focus on engineering and functionality. Recover, which supplies recycled cotton fibre to Inditex, Revolve and others, raised $100 million at a $1 billion valuation. Plus, on this week's episode of The Debrief, BoF chief sustainability correspondent Sarah Kent explains why next-gen leather alternatives like mycelium are more important than ever to fashion.
