Podcast appearances and mentions of Amanda Curtis

Sporting major events come and go; they pop up in one place, disappear and then return somewhere completely different, usually four years later. So how does this distinctly unsustainable operation have a lasting legacy? How do we make sure “learnings are not lost”. We visit the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games to speak to their sustainability team; Jess Fidler and Jo Leigh. They really want their lessons, positive and negative, to be passed on to future events in a caring, sharing way. Consultant Amanda Curtis joins the pod to continue the theme of passing on learnings; she worked for London 2012 but also has perspective from other sectors after a career in retail. And some strong thoughts from Amanda and Melissa on the danger of offsetting. Plus Jonathan ranting about a car park. All the good stuff. Time Codes: 01:30 We set out the "learnings not lost" concept when it comes to major events. 02:40. Jonathan's on, what he calls "a grassy knoll". Whatever that is. More relevantly, he's in Birmingham at the Commonwealth Games. 03:40. Hello to Jessica Fidler and Jo Leigh, from the Birmingham 2022 sustainability team. Jess sets out the ambitions. 04:30. Jo outlines some of the specific missions to deliver on the sustainability pledges. 06:40. Spectator transport accounts for a huge proportion of the Games' carbon footprint. It's the 'big stuff which makes the major impact', observes Jonathan. 07:50. So the post-event analysis is important: "We need to be transparent with our learnings" says Jess. They want to share and reach out, 'to make sure the learnings don't get lost' adds Jo. 09:30. A free-to-access carbon-literacy resource will be available through the Birmingham 2022 website, to help different sectors understand the carbon legacy and get an official certification. 11:15. Athlete engagement has involved work with Athletes of the World. Melissa tells us more... it's about making them feel confident about speaking credibly on these issues. 15:15. Melissa's analysis on the percentage of carbon emissions created by spectator transport. 16:15. Jonathan rants about the NEC car parks, not for the first time. Can we take some bigger decisions in the future? 17:45. Welcome to Amanda Curtis: sustainability manager at London 2012 and sustainability consultant for many governing bodies. 19:15. She talks about sustainability being embedded in the major event bid process. 22:10. Amanda shares some of her experiences of lesson-sharing in retail; sport has a long way to go.. 25:00. Melissa wants to emphasise how offsetting is not a solution. Amanda agrees; it's about reduction not offsetting. 28:20. Amanda says 'it's about being bold, about taking risks'. The big changes will make a difference. 30:15. The thorny issue of high-polluting sponsors. Melissa gets straight to the point... 33:00. Thanks to Amanda Curtis. Melissa reflects on the 'outside perspective'... 35:20. Back to Birmingham and more from Jo Leigh, former GB International Hockey player. What's her view on the future of major events? 36:50. Jo wants a climate-centric games in the future; Jonathan goes on about the car park again. Thankfully Jo agrees. 39:15. A final thought as Jo considers her athlete friends. Are more willing to engage in the conversation now, compared with Rio 2016? 41:00. A big few years ahead for Australia in terms of major events! A NinetyFour19 production.

When you think of Pittsburgh, you might not necessarily think of fashion; The place is much more known as a university city or steel town. Which is why you may be surprised to learn that rather than travelling to Paris or New York this September, Electric Runway was in Pittsburgh for #PGHFW, or Pittsburgh Fashion Week. In this episode, Fashion Futurist Amanda Cosco speaks with Sara Longo of Style 412, one of the co-organizers of the event, as well as Michael Annichine, the Director of the Magee-Women's Research Institute, one of the main sponsors of Pittsburgh Fashion Week. We also interview Amanda Curtis from Nineteenth Amendment to find out how the company enables emerging and established designers in Pittsburgh and beyond to make their runway shows shoppable.

Amanda Curtis and Gemma Sole are the co-founders of Nineteenth Amendment, a direct-to-designer fashion house for clothing and accessories more personal, beautiful, and responsible than anything off the rack. The co-founders were named as Forbes 30 Under 30 for retail/e-commerce and Apparel Magazine's 30 Under 30. I sat down with the duo to talk about the inspiration for their venture, and what helped them pave the way.

Amanda Curtis is the Co-founder and CEO of Nineteenth Amendment. As a fashion designer she went from New York Fashion Week designing for Richie Rich, DVF, and A-list celebrities to bringing a solo designed collection all the way at London Fashion Week in her first season. Nineteenth Amendment is the result of the collision of the fashion and tech worlds; a platform & business model that gives brands a smart way break into the fashion industry with the least amount of time, effort, and money (what she calls Stiletto-Strapping), while growing domestic manufacturing and bringing amazing, undiscovered fashion from the runway to closets of fashion lovers. This 'fashion-as-experience' has led to partnerships with over 500 fashion brands across 30 countries, and global companies like Disney, Macy's, Microsoft, and Dell. Amanda is Forbes' 30 Under 30 2016 for Retail & E-commerce, Apparel Magazine's 30 Under 30 2016, and the National Retail Federation's Person Changing Retail's Future 2018.

On the 17th episode of the Loose Threads Podcast, a show about the intersection of fashion, technology and commerce, I talk with Amanda Curtis, a co-founder of Nineteenth Amendment. Her company is leveling the playing field for independent designers by streamlining everything from production to infrastructure. Emerging designers are often at a disadvantage when it comes to funding their business, securing competitive pricing for production, and integrating technology to help scale. Luckily, this is Nineteenth Amendment’s focus and the company has helped hundreds of designers grow. Nineteenth Amendment is focused on the long tail, a concept that explains how smaller brands are able to succeed on the internet because of the ability to find and serve niches that desire specific products. The company’s vertical integration is impressive, as is the persistence that has gotten them to realize their vision and now focus on scaling it. I definitely recommend checking on the designers on Nineteenth Amendment and reading more about all they are doing for independents. The more small businesses that are independent and thriving, the better, and Nineteenth Amendment is helping make this a reality. — Show Notes — Nineteenth Amendment https://www.nineteenthamendment.com/ Edited by George Drake Jr. — About Loose Threads — http://LooseThreads.com Join the newsletter: http://eepurl.com/buLQY9 Twitter: http://twitter.com/loosethreadsxyz The Loose Threads Podcast explores the intersection of fashion, technology and commerce.

Co-founder and CEO of Nineteenth Amendment, AMANDA Curtis is a fashion designer turned tech entrepreneur who uses technology to create positive impact in the fashion industry. As a designer turned entrepreneur, our CEO Amanda experienced first hand how funding and connections were a bigger factor in breaking into the fashion industry than talent and drive. Nineteenth Amendment was created on the idea that fashion is a choice and that the garment production process for manufacturers in the US needed a makeover. And, just like its namesake, Nineteenth Amendment believes everyone has a right to choose how to make the system - and their closets - a better place.
