This week's guest on The WTiN Podcast is Georgia Parker, innovation manager at Fashion For Good. Founded in 2017, Fashion for Good is a global innovation platform that is on a mission ‘to make all fashion good'. By sparking and scaling innovation, by offering practical action in the form of support, funding and roadmaps, and by fostering sector-wide collaboration rather than competition, the organisation enables invention and widespread adoption of good fashion practice.In this episode, Parker highlights the organisation's newly launched scheme called The Renewable Carbon Textiles Project that aims to accelerate the development of PHA polymers. She mentions the collaborators involved, the plan of action, and how the project could lead to commercial pilots and trials afterwards. Elsewhere, Parker talks about this year's accelerator programme and the solutions that have particularly caught her eye, noting that there is still a huge opportunity in areas such as digitalisation and manufacturing technology for sustainable innovation. And how important it is to fully understand the impact of these new solutions to ensure they are better than the materials that we're trying to replace. To find out more about Fashion For Good, visit www.fashionforgood.com

Should we continue to use polybags in the fashion industry in light of sustainable alternatives?Ashley Holding, innovation manager at Fashion for Good and Adam Gendell, associate director of GreenBlue's flagship project, the Sustainable Packaging Coalition, discuss findings from their joint whitepaper.

The apparel industry is racing to find more sustainable options for both its inputs and processes. But the reality is, no matter how environmentally friendly these innovations may be, developing them requires investment so the question becomes, who’s financing fashion’s sustainable evolution?

In episode 149, Kestrel welcomes Nivi Sreenivas Murthy, the founder of IKKIVI, as well as Meenal Gupta, one of the designers behind Twofold, to the show. A slow fashion platform, Ikkivi curates ethical and sustainable designers from India, and Twofold is one of their featured brands, a label that is a tribute to Indian craftsmanship. “Young designers and independent designers in general do not have the resources to expand and grow their business to a global platform because at the end of the day, they are designers and the creatives behind these brands. So, I think it’s extremely important for platforms like IKKIVI to be able to communicate their stories and communicate their creative abilities to a global audience.” -Nivi Sreenivas Murthy, Founder of IKKIVI In this week’s show, Nivi and Meenal share each of their stories and how they became interested in slow fashion. Additionally, they share more on each of their work today, and how important they feel that it is to offer global shoppers access to slow fashion options. The below thoughts, ideas + organizations were brought up in this chat:  “Right from when we are at that impressionable age as a teenager, we’re told by society and various people and various factors, and now especially with the internet, we’re told to be a certain way and told to dress a certain way, eat a certain way, behave a certain way. And I think now, as we age and mature, unless we take a step back and question these things, we’ll just be a stuck in a rut and just doing what we’ve been told.” Explore more about IKKIVI + their featured brands > Explore more about Twofold >

Dans ce premier épisode de Hey Sisters, je reçois Laura Brown, entrepreneure et fondatrice de Phoenix Brain Rising.

Katrin Ley is the CEO of FASHION FOR GOOD, an Amersterdam-based organisation that was co-founded by Cradle-to-Cradle's William McDonough. They aim to bring together the entire fashion ecosystem with incentives, resources and tools for sustainability. At Fashion For Good's core is McDonough’s concept of the Five Goods, which, he says, “represent an aspirational framework we can all use to work towards a world in which we do not simply take, make, waste, but rather take, make, renew and restore.”  In interview Katrin and Clare discuss what good looks like when it comes to clothing production and circularity. Case study: the first Gold Cradle to Cradle Certified jeans and T-shirts. There’s a strong focus in this interview on innovation, new ideas and disruptors. We also explore this new age of sharing and helping each other, because, as Katrin says, if we want to change the fashion system, that’s what it’s going to take. Is the fashion industry really ready for serious collaboration? What about you? How can you find your purpose? How can you align your work with your values?  DON'T MISS OUR SHOWNOTES - the are packed with links & extra info Chat with Clare on Instagram and Twitter @mrspress THANK YOU FOR LISTENING.

Lily Cole rose to fame as a model. She was the youngest model to appear on the cover of British Vogue, and was listed by French Vogue as one of the top 30 models of the 2000s. Her pictures, shot by some of photography's greatest names (think Tim Walker, Nick Knight, Steven Meisel) are some of the most memorable in the business, but these days Lily has other fish to fry. An environmental advocate, actor, writer and filmmaker, she is also a social entrepreneur. She is the founder of Impossible.com, a B Corp that uses technology to solve social and environmental problems. It began as a platform for the gift economy and today, she says, is focused on "trying to use tech in a positive way, and doing that through collaborations." In this lovely and intriguing Episode, we discuss Lily's love for nature and the ways in which that informs the work she does today. We talk climate change and the power of positive messaging. We get into frameworks for business with puropse, the need to rethink how we measure success and encouraging more women to enter the tech world. And fashion, natch. Don't you worry, we talk about that. Follow Clare on Instagram and Twitter @mrspress Love the podcast? We have a Patreon page if you'd like to support us.

In episode 117, Kestrel welcomes Juan Diego Gerscovich, the cofounder of Industry of All Nations, to the show. A design and development office that was founded in 2010, IOAN has a commitment to rethink methods of production for consumer goods. "Every maker that we work with, we want to give them the chance, to let them express - via the product - their life."  -Juan Diego Gerscovich, cofounder of IOAN  In this episode, Juan shares insight into his early years, growing up in Argentina with parents in the fashion industry. He also talks about how from a young age, he had a powerful interest in the origin of things, and a curiosity connected to where things come from. While Juan originally studies architecture, he eventually realized that garments and consumer goods allowed him to create things that were more accessible to people, and that allowed him to develop a more intimate connection. Kestrel and Juan further explore this idea that products have their own identity - sparked by the below quote from IOAN's website: “Products have their own identity, which come from their history. An alpaca sweater hand knit in Bolivia, a pair of alpargatas from Argentina or a checkered lined rain-coat made in England. Each of these represent specific moments in time, places, feelings, and we buy and wear them based on how they resonate with us. If you separate a thing from its origin, you separate it from its meaning and reduce it to a mere scrap of cotton and plastic. You orphan it.” Also, Juan shares more about how Industry Of All Nations was born to bring production back to the original makers. The below thoughts, ideas + organizations were brought up in this chat: IOAN's Alpaca Project New Denim Project, IOAN is working on a new project with them - listen to our Conscious Chatter episode with New Denim Project here > Innovative BrandSelf-Assembly: based in Finland, Self-Assembly makes ready-to-assemble garment construction kits, and basically takes humans out of the supply chain.

Throughout this conversation, we explore questions around the new era of investing in sustainability, the true costs associated with the fashion supply chain, and whether price makes luxury. 

In episode 105, Kestrel welcomes Steph Cordes, the Vice Chair of the Cordes Foundation, to the show. Having worked with Conde Nast and luxury fashion brands in the past, Steph now works to advance the Cordes Foundation's ethical fashion and sustainable supply chain initiatives.  "I think my biggest takeaway was that minimum wage isn't a living wage, because they [garment workers she met in Sri Lanka] technically are paid minimum wage but that's not a living wage. They aren't able to have enough money to invest that in their families or their children."  -Steph Cordes, Vice Chair of The Cordes Foundation In this episode, Steph shares more on how the Cordes Foundation believes that elevating the role of women is essential to building stronger economies and improving the quality of life for women, men, families and communities. She also shares some exceptionally powerful stories from the trips she has taken to meet with, and connect with women working in the garment industry around the world. For Steph, she sees a massive disconnect between designers and the actual people making their clothes in the supply chain. The below thoughts, ideas + organizations were brought up in this chat: The Opportunity Collaboration, a collaborative summit put on my the Cordes Foundation Elizabeth Cline's book Overdressed, listen to our podcast with her here > Soko, a company Cordes Foundation invests in / listen to our episode with them here > Pencils of Promise x Soko Collaboration Indego Africa, a nonprofit that the Cordes Foundation supports Remake, Steph sits on their advisory board / listen to our episode with them here > Fashion For Good, a project the Cordes Foundation supports Rent The Runway, one of Steph's favorite ways to "shop sustainably" Recommended Read From The Intro:Heart Talk by Cleo Wade

Kathryn Retzer, Patrick Herning, and Jenna discuss 11 Honoré's multi-dimensional approach to advancing the size inclusive fashion movement, from assembling the world's best luxury brands on a single discovery platform to equipping upcoming brands with the resources and support they need to add to their collections. We walk through how the team is fundamentally shifting the view of the size inclusive customer by demanding that she is seen and respected as a woman who deserves equal access to luxury products.

Since September 2017, they have been traveling the world, living in hotels and showcasing ethical fashion brands along the way. "People suddenly realized that their food came from somewhere and that it mattered how it was made, and I think the same thing is happening in the world of fashion now. And, people are not just looking at clothing as a thing but understanding that there is a person behind it."  -Anna Lisa of Recess City Throughout this episode, Anna Lisa shares more on how she got into blogging, and how it has evolved into a business + lifestyle her her and her husband Porter. Also, Kestrel + Anna Lisa discuss the complexities when it comes to defining what "ethical fashion" means. Stay tuned for later in the show when Anna Lisa rounds up some of her favorite ethical fashion brands of the moment.  The below thoughts, ideas + organizations were brought up in this chat: Tribe Alive, first ethical company that Recess City partnered with, which inspired their shift in focus to all ethical fashion brands "First you have to make it, then you have to master it, and then you have to make it matter" - quote mentioned by Anna Lisa which reflects her goals for 2018  Girlfriend Collective, an ethical brand Anna Lisa loves Nisolo, an ethical brand Anna Lisa loves Will & Bear, an ethical brand Anna Lisa loves "Don't wear what's in, wear it out." - a mindset Anna Lisa and her husband Porter like to live by when it comes to their clothing 

In episode 86, Kestrel welcomes Jessica Marati Radparvar, the founder of Reconsidered, to the show. A boutique consultancy that helps organizations build impactful social responsibility strategies, communications and community, Reconsidered is all about driving positive behavior change. "Reconsidering and just taking a second look at things that we've always taken for granted is something that's so needed in this day-in-age, because business as usual is not an option - it simply isn't." -Jessica of Reconsidered Throughout this chat, Jessica shares stories about her path, and how she has found herself enthralled with the social impact conversation, and especially, innovative approaches to shifting behavior. She shares her thoughts on where we are today when it comes to telling the sustainable fashion story, and where she thinks we can improve moving forward.
