The aspect of the circular economy that intrigues me the most is making fashion circular.
With over 19 years in the apparel industry. I’ve traveled overseas my entire career visiting textile mills, apparel factories, vendor showrooms, and building partnerships.
Up until now, the entire process has been a linear take-make-waste model. This is no longer workable for our growing population or our planet. The circular economy is a real-world solution to the fashion industry’s pollution and waste problem.
Waste is a design flaw.
