Men's clothing styles can be challenging. As professional people, going around meeting other professionals, we want to look professional. But when it comes to shopping, many men aren't interested in running around and having to decide what looks good. We want the clothes to just show up at our doorstep. This is a problem that Anya Chang of Taelor.Style has solved. Utilizing AI to help men get the clothes they want that fit the style they are going for, Anya helps these men rent clothes. Much like Netflix DVD's from back in the day. This allows her clients to enjoy the clothes and keep a fresh and new wardrobe. Pretty clever, right? The beauty is the combination of clothes showing up, then they can be shipped back without washing them. Then more clothing shows up. This is an ideal way to stay fresh, trendy and noticed, while maintaining working as a busy professional looking for a minimum maintenance lifestyle. Anya discusses her past in Silicon Valley and how she developed Taelor.Style to help the busy professional man. Listen as Anya discusses her entrepreneurial journey, her wins, along with a few losses, and the learning curve that comes with delving into the garment industry. Enjoy!

Guest: Pamela James, CEO & Founder of Paloma St. JamesIt's no mystery that industrialization has a negative impact on the environment; however, an unexpected contributor is the fashion industry. Recent studies have shown that the production of textiles contributes nearly to 8-10% of global carbon emissions, superseding emissions from the aviation and shipping industries combined. Designer and CEO, Pamela James, joins us today to discuss her take on sustainable fashion and the concept of modularity. We're a society of mass production and overconsumption, but today you'll see that less really is more.

Liz Hershfield, former fashion executive and now CEO and Founder of Greensih, talks about how sustainability and fashion are woven together.
Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. In this episode, I talk to Sustainable Stylist and Founder of the Ethical Brand Directory Roberta Lee. Roberta reveals how corporate burnout and a deep seated feeling of unhappiness, caused her to develop an addiction to buying clothes, which at it's height would see her spending up to £500 per month - and then the shocking pivotal event that changed her life and career path forever. Roberta recalls the moment she realised her mission was not only to empower women through fashion, but to redefine and actively change the whole landscape of fashion and sustainability. We discuss the long-term implications of our short-term choices, the seductive rise of 'ultra-fast' fashion and the manufacturing misconceptions around luxury brands. We also examine ways to embrace and remove the stigma around pre-loved clothing and Roberta offers achievable, actionable tips on how to build a sustainable wardrobe. Please join me as we look at life through a different lens. KEY TAKEAWAYS Clothes shopping addiction or compulsive buying can be a coping mechanism for many. The fashion industry often disempowers women and exploits garment workers in unsafe conditions. Contrary to consumer expectations, luxury brands may use the same suppliers and factories as fast fashion. Building a sustainable wardrobe is a journey, not a destination; start with one small change aligned with your values. Governments need to impose laws on fashion companies' production volumes to address sustainability challenges. Pre-loved, vintage, and upcycled clothing are becoming more popular as conscious consumer choices. Normalising clothes swapping, especially among younger generations, is crucial for sustainability. Creativity and patience are key to finding affordable, sustainable clothing options. BEST MOMENTS "I used fashion as a tool for myself to dress the parts in certain roles and male-dominated environments. I used to power dress, I realised I reached a fashion to make myself feel good." "The reality of what was going on,I just couldn't escape. I was part of it I was part of the problem and I was contributing to this" "Building a sustainable wardrobe is a journey not a final destination. So, we never get to perfection but we learn how to get there in the most responsible way we can within our means." "Taking away this stigma around pre-loved or second-hand or thrifted or swapped clothes is a really important step because we have so much clothing already in, in production that's already on the planet that needs to be home." ABOUT THE GUEST Roberta Lee | The Sustainable Stylist https://robertastylelee.co.uk/ https://ethicalbranddirectory.com/ Since 2015, Roberta Lee has been a passionate advocate for sustainable style. Roberta Lee's journey began after she developed an addiction to shopping for clothes during her corporate career. Roberta found herself spending approximately £500 every month on clothes. After watching a single documentary called 'The True Cost', she had a rude awakening about the impact that these clothes and her shopping habits were having on the planet and on the people creating them. Not to mention the toll her addiction took on her mental health and confidence. In 2017, she established the Ethical Brand Directory, a platform connecting conscientious consumers with vetted ethical brands and providing a secure and accessible avenue for sustainable shopping. Many people thought she was going nuts, and it was an unworkable idea, but now she has a waiting list of clients wanting her to cut up and restyle their wardrobes and has also worked for celebrities and TV shows.

How can fashion take action right now for a net positive future?From climate and biodiversity to worker livelihoods and fair wages to overconsumption and textile waste, the gaps between where we need to be and where we are right now feel… vast. But in this episode, we're discussing ways that fashion act right now — like tomorrow — on 5 key pillars that encompass both people and planet. These are areas where the research, and tools are readily available, even for implementing at a large scale. Ahead you'll hear my conversation with Holly Syrett, the Impact Programmes and Sustainability Director at Global Fashion Agenda (GFA), a nonprofit organization that accelerates measurable impact in the fashion industry.Perhaps what GFA is most known for is their Global Fashion Summits but they also drive impact through collaborative commitments, impact programs, thought leadership publications and by engaging with policy & advocacy.Their flagship report — which is freely accessible for all — is the Fashion CEO Agenda. And this year's edition, released at the Boston Fashion Summit, is offering more specific tangible action than ever. I kind of think of it as the no-excuses actionable sustainability playbook for fashion brands.I was excited to be able to have this conversation with Holly and be able to share it all with you for free because I know that there are so many of you that work in sustainable fashion or aspire to and want to dive deeper into these types of industry insights but they're not always accessible. So enjoy this conversation with Holly!***PRESENTED BY...The Conscious Fashion Collective MembershipIf you are a sustainable fashion professional or aspiring to transition into this industry, check out our sister platform Conscious Fashion Collective.

Paul Foulkes Arellano, Circularity Educator at Circuthon® Consulting - Non-Exec Director - Fundraiser for Bioeconomy Pioneers, is welcomed in this discussion. The conversation begins by acknowledging Paul's strong presence on LinkedIn and his unique approach to sustainability within the retail and fashion industry. Unlike many sustainability influencers who focus on specific aspects like packaging or manufacturing, Paul takes a holistic view, addressing various sustainability facets. He shares how his perspective was shaped by Dr. Chris Sherwin's teachings, emphasizing that every decision impacts nature, drawing parallels to fashion's impact on the environment. Paul critiques the fashion industry's weak defenses for unsustainable practices and calls for a scientific, data-driven approach to sustainability, involving experts and scientific officers within companies. Paul highlights the need for comprehensive change in the industry, urging businesses to integrate sustainability into their entire organization, from supply chain decisions to work policies. He cites financial institutions like EY and NatWest as examples of training their employees in sustainability, a practice absent in fashion. He stresses the importance of training and retraining people within the industry, signaling hope for change through new expertise. Paul's view on the future sees a transition toward more sustainable practices in the coming years, with businesses adopting transparent metrics and embracing circularity. The conversation then shifts to Paul's role as the founder of Circuit On, a consulting firm guiding billion-dollar companies in achieving circularity. He addresses opposition from industry associations like the British Retail Consortium to measures like extended producer responsibility. Paul also shares insights about emerging initiatives in fashion, like software to track garment lifecycles. The discussion ends on the importance of reshaping fashion education to incorporate sustainability from the start, both in universities and businesses. The interview concludes with gratitude for sharing these insights and fostering awareness on sustainable practices.

Fashion's returns are a massive waste and emissions issue. In fact, 23 million returned garments were sent to a landfill or incinerated last year in the UK, and returns caused 750,000 tons of CO2 emissions just in the UK fashion industry alone, according to The Institute of Positive Fashion's report: Solving Fashion's Products Returns.Generous free returns policies from brands and retailers have also helped fuel the trend of buying clothes to wear just once or only for a social media post and then return them. However, the days of these free return policies may be coming to an end. Zara, Boohoo, Uniqlo, and Next have all recently announced return fees.These brands are likely making the decision to implement return fees for financial reasons, but what are the implications for sustainability? In this Green or Greenwashing segment, Elizabeth and Stella explore the nuances of fashion's product return fees. LINKS MENTIONED:Giveaway!

About Today's Show Welcome to episode 8, Season 5 of #SenecaProud Podcast! Question: What do you do with the clothes you no longer wear? If you're like me, you try to donate them when you can, but what if they're tattered? For me, I probably throw them into the garbage, which of course goes straight to the landfill. Turns out, textile waste is a big problem, both globally, and in Canada as well. Here are some statistics, courtesy of Earth.org: 92 Million Tonnes of Textiles Waste is Produced Every Year - which is the equivalent of one garbage truck full of clothes ending up in a landfill site every second. The number of times a garment is worn is now between 7 to 10 times before it is discarded. To produce 1 kg of cotton requires 20,000 litres of water, and producing a single t-shirt requires 2,700 litres of water. Clearly this is a serious problem, and our guest in today's show is not only a Seneca Professor, she is also one of Canada's formost experts on the topic, Dr. Sabine Weber. In this show we talk about her Dumpster Study, funded by Seneca's Applied Research Fund. And.... In this episode we also learn: How serious the problem is in Canada The opportunity for entrepreneurs to solve the supply chain challenges, so that garmets can be recycled more easily What we can do to help reduce our textile waste So much more! About our Guest, Dr. Sabine Weber Sabine Weber has been teaching at Seneca Polytechnic since 2016, in the school of fashion, where she teaches in all three fashion programs: Fashion Business & Fashion Business Management, Fashion Arts and Fashion Studies. Prior to coming to Canada, Sabine began her career in Germany and later in Switzerland, where as a fasion buyer she oversaw a purchasing budget of over $250 million per year. Currently, Sabine's research topics are sustainable fashion, textile waste, and social innovation. Sabine's main interest is how social innovation can help to transition the fashion industry towards sustainability. Her particular focus is textile waste and a circular fashion system. And along with her students, she completed what became known as the Dumpster Dive study, which was funded by Seneca's Applied Research Fund. We touch on that study in our conversation. Sabine hold both a Master's Degree, and a PhD from the University of Waterloo. This description of Sabine only scratches the surface of Sabine's accomplishments in the area of textile waste and sustainable fashion. Suffice it to say, Sabine is one of, if not number one, expert on this topic, in Canada. And she teaches right here at Seneca! Pretty cool. Important Links Read more on the Dumpster Dive Studey here.

SAVING WALLETS AND LANDFILLSWe are continuing with our focus on fashion and this week my guest is Zuhairah Washington, President and COO of Otrium, a Dutch-born end to end marketplace that she calls, the best kept secret in fashion. Otrium is a digital platform where you can buy end of season clothing at accessible prices. What does that mean? All those clothes that brands were unable to sell for whatever reason, can be discretely uploaded onto the platform and given a second chance at finding their way to being bought and used, rather than ending up in a landfill or a burning pile. This of course should give you a hint that sustainability is one of the topics I discussed with Zuhairah. It is one of many huge problems associated with fashion, but things are starting to move in the right direction, and she will explain a bit more in our interview. Zuhairah started her career in private equity, she has founded her own tech company, had a stint at Uber as well as at Expedia and now here she is telling us about how she's leading Otrium's expansion into the US market.

Welcome back to another fabulous fashion episode covering one of our most important topics – and one we hope everyone is becoming more and more aware of every day - Sustainable Fashion! This week we are SO honored to have Selina Ho, the Founder & CEO of Recloseted, gracing us with her AMAZEBALLS presence on the podcast! She is our new *BFFF, and she will be yours, too! *Best Fashion Friend Forever Selina is a BADASS SUSTAINABLE ROCKSTAR who started an consulting company to help brands transform the harmful practices of the fashion industry. She has gathered a team of all-stars — from sourcing experts to material scientists - and leveraged her own business experience working at startups and Fortune 500s to help “slow fashion” clients get on the path to fashion sustainability. Recloseted is the first one-stop consulting agencies for sustainable fashion brands. They launch and scale sustainable brands and help existing apparel brands become more environmentally friendly. Selina knew she wanted to start doing her part in changing the world after breaking out in a vicious rash while wearing a polyester shirt (poly is made of OIL, eeew) and doing some research which led her to some devastating truths behind the production of garments. Her company is on a mission to transform the harmful production practices of the fashion industry. It's a lofty goal but they hope to accomplish this by launching and scaling sustainable fashion brands in addition to making existing brands more conscious. She and her team may be small, but the mighty Recloseted team is now a force to be reckoned with! The Recloseted motto: Together, let's transform the harmful fashion industry. If that wasn't enough, Selina is also the host of the Recloseted Radio podcast, and the self-published author of “The Recloseted Handbook: Your Sustainable Fashion Guide”, a 200-page e-book detailing exactly how to become a stylish yet conscious clothing consumer. #lovingthisjourney What can the normal person do to start being conscious about sustainable fashion? Do your best, and fill your own cup first. When you give to yourself (Moms!), you have more to give to your kids, your family and your job. Do not feel guilty if you cannot be the perfect person to others - or to our planet - every minute of the day. Because, sorry Boo, you cannot. Try to figure out what ‘sustainability' means to you. How can you incorporate thoughtful environmental practices into YOUR life? Not your nosy neighbor's life. Not the fake person on Instagram's life. Not your BFF's life. YOUR life. Want to take a deep dive into the story of the fashion industry's harmful impact on our planet? Go watch The True Cost – a documentary. It's tough love, but if you are interested, check it out. (Holly and the Podcast team are too chicken to watch, but they're gonna do it anyway.) Be imperfectly perfect. The issue of fashion sustainability, as well as all environmental causes, can be overwhelming. But with small baby steps, we can at least work toward being more intentional. FACT CHECK: Holly reminds us here that we need to have a Style Plan. You don't go to the grocery store and just pick one of everything, do you? Um, no. You have a meal plan for the week, and you only buy what you need. Only. Buy. What. You. Need. In addition to what you buy, pay attention to where you buy. Shop local and shop small. Vote with your wallet. The big box stores do not need your money (uhm, think Jeff Bezos. Just no!) Entrepreneurs and small businesses do. They really, really do. (Hot Tip: If you find a creator or designer online that you love, be sure to purchase their items directly from their own website versus 3rd party sites like Etsy.) What does “Fashion Sustainability” really mean. For Selina, it means “balance.” How do you balance your lifestyle while still taking care of the planet? Find a way to live with more intention. The choices you make every day, big or small, can add up to make a difference. There are many fun and easy fashion sustainable efforts you can try: Host a clothing swap with friends where you drink wine and trade clothes and accessories. Super fun!!! Go thrifting with your girlfriends one weekend. Even more fun! Invite friends over to help you clean out and organize your closet! Fun, with champagne! Don't indulge in retail therapy, aimlessly buying things you don't need to make yourself feel better. You will not feel better. Start with just one item. Decide you are going to buy one pair of shoes from a sustainable brand next time. It's literally that easy. What does “Greenwashing” mean? Don't be fooled by appearances. As you start looking for sustainable brands, be aware of something called ‘greenwashing'. Many brands promote themselves as being earth-friendly, but in fact, they may only have one product that fits that description in order to market themselves a ‘sustainable' brand. #dontfallforit Think of the grocery store again: many items say they are organic or gluten-free…. But are they??? Brands marketed with social or health benefits sell better, so, just make sure who you buy from is legit. “When companies invest more time and money on marketing their products or brand as “green” rather than actually doing the hard work to ensure that it is sustainable — this is called greenwashing.” How does a company like Recloseted help fashion companies become better at being sustainable? Selina's group offers various consulting package for new brands – giving all the fashion and the business information they need to be a sustainable company. They tell brands to put their clients first and be strategic and intentional with their products. For instance, instead of buying another sweater. Be intentional and buy from a smaller brand that's more versatile: maybe it can still be worn despite your size changes, or maybe the fabric is transitional for more than one season. Recloseted shares viable production mills and fabric sources, helping brands use fair labor and best practices supplier all over the world. And what is sustainable junk? Is that like space junk? Well, yes. It is. Brands should not make or sell products that check-off all the sustainability boxes if there is no market for the item. This is where brands need to put their customers first: are you producing items that people really want or need? So, even if it is totally green, if no one wants it, they've just made junk. Brands need to instead solve “pain points” or the areas where customers are frustrated and need a solution. Cleaning and care of your wardrobe. When do we know when it's time to let something go? Selina and Holly are of one fashion brain on this one: If you keep your closet clean and organized, you will aways know what you have. Routine clean-outs keep the chaos away! Do your clothes still fit? Do you still love your items? Maybe you could swap with your friends. Just make sure to give your clothing as much life as you can before you finally decide on discarding. What are some of Selina's favorite sustainable brands? Shop Firebird Adeera Styelle Swim Also, don't forget about accessories and jewelry! Look for designers who use recycled gold and lab-grown diamonds, like our BFF of the podcast www.AmandaPearl.com! OK, so AFTER you listen to this episode, please engage with her on social and learn how to have a more sustainable wardrobe. It's starts with just one item. It's that simple.

Cheap clothes come at a cost to the environment, to the people working across the fashion supply chain, and maybe even to fast fashion consumers too. In this episode, we are going to explore all of the hidden — the true — costs of fast fashion.This is the first episode of season 4, which will be focused on dramatically slowing down fashion and envisioning what a post-growth or degrowth future for fashion would look like.

In January, the Fashion Sustainability and Social Accountability Act (or the Fashion Act) was unveiled: a bill many are calling a "groundbreaking" and "historic" step towards bringing accountability to the fashion industry and holding the biggest brands accountable for their environmental and social impacts. If signed into law, the Fashion Act would require all major apparel and footwear companies that generate $100 million in global revenue and do business in the state of New York to map their supply chain, engage in mandatory due diligence, identify and address risks, and set and meet science-based targets. What does the Fashion Act mean for the fashion industry? Is disclosure enough to truly hold the industry accountable? Now that the bill has been introduced, what happens now? New York State Senator Alessandra Biaggi joined SFF founder Brittany Sierra during the 2022 Sustainable Fashion Forum to discuss. Hear their convo here.

#EXPERT Maxine Bédat - Setting The New Standard of The Industry[ENG] Big polluters must be constrained by lawMaxine Bédat is the kind of person that dive deep into any subject. Entrepreneur, researcher, and advocate, she was a pioneer launcher of a sustainable items marketplace and company Zady, revealing in details the impact of the products. An approach so bold and unconventional that the time, that media and brands came to her to ask to share such interesting data and brilliant methods. Therefore, she realized the problem wasn't actually so much the lack of sustainable brands but more the fact that big players ignore their impacts, remain unpunished for producing giant quantities of cheap clothing and don't know where to start when they want to improve themselves. So was born the New Standard Institute, a global community driving the fashion industry to achieve science-based environmental & social targets, through counseling and the establishment of laws. NSI is the voice of the experts and a bridge to the law. Maxine works on a new one, the Fashion Sustainability and Social Accountability Act, aiming to hold fashion brands accountable for the environmental and social impacts of their manufacturing, sponsored by State Sen. Alessandra Biaggi and Assemblywoman Dr. Anna Kelles. Just as Maxine Bédat, we believe legislation is needed to help good companies, currently at a competitive disadvantage, investing money where others are not.This episode is full of humanity and precious pro insights, in the image of Maxine. It was also a very selfish opportunity for me to meet a role model. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did. [FR] Établir de nouveaux standards pour l'industrie de la modeMaxine Bédat est le genre de personne qui plonge profondément dans n'importe quel sujet. Entrepreneure, chercheuse et avocate, elle a été l'une des pionnières du lancement d'un marché d'articles durables et de la société Zady, révélant en détail l'impact des produits. Une approche si audacieuse et non conventionnelle que l'époque, que les médias et les marques sont venus lui demander de partager des données aussi intéressantes et des méthodes brillantes. Par conséquent, elle a réalisé que le problème n'était pas tant le manque de marques durables, mais plutôt le fait que les grands acteurs ignorent leurs impacts, restent impunis pour produire des quantités géantes de vêtements bon marché et ne savent pas par où commencer quand ils veulent s'améliorer. eux-mêmes. Ainsi est né le New Standard Institute, une communauté mondiale qui pousse l'industrie de la mode à atteindre des objectifs environnementaux et sociaux fondés sur la science, par le biais de conseils et de l'établissement de lois. NSI est la voix des experts et un pont vers la loi. Maxine travaille sur une nouvelle loi, la Fashion Sustainability and Social Accountability Act, visant à tenir les marques de mode responsables des impacts environnementaux et sociaux de leur fabrication, parrainée par la sénatrice d'État Alessandra Biaggi et la députée Dr Anna Kelles. Tout comme Maxine Bédat, nous pensons qu'une législation est nécessaire pour aider les bonnes entreprises, actuellement désavantagées par la concurrence, à investir de l'argent là où d'autres ne le font pas.Cet épisode est plein d'humanité et de précieux insights pro, à l'image de Maxine. C'était aussi une occasion très égoïste pour moi de rencontrer un modèle.

Lawmakers are picking up on how much atrocity the fashion industry gets away with. The state of New York is working to pass a bill in the Senate, The Fashion Sustainability and Social Accountability Act, that aims to regulate the fast fashion industry. How can this be done? This short episode of GreenMe dives into […] The post Regulating Fashion first appeared on green❀me.
If one proposed piece of legislation passes, fashion brands could soon encounter a harsh reality that could cost millions if their supply chain isn't up to snuff. While brands have already had to wade through significant and often confusing legislative changes in 2022 via the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, they may need to freshen up on the terms of the recently introduced Fashion Sustainability and Social Accountability Act, commonly referred to as the New York Fashion Act. Despite the locality its informal name implies, the bill carries vast global implications, Mark Burstein, executive vice president and industry principal at supply chain software provider Logility, explained in a conversation with Sourcing Journal founder Edward Hertzman.

What is Fast Fashion? Does social media impact our relationship to clothes? How can we stay trendy while consuming with care? In this episode, we explore all things Fast Fashion with Associate Prof. Timo Rissanen, who is a published author of two books on fashion and sustainability! We had the opportunity to learn more about the fast fashion model, solving the challenges of clothing manufacturing waste, the impacts of social media's 'trend' based culture, and how we can make small changes to move towards sustainable consumption. Further Resources: - Zero Waste Fashion Design (2016) - Written by Timo Rissanen & Holly McQuillan, explores the need for fashion designers to play an active role in minimising the waste produced by their practice. - Shaping Sustainable Fashion (2011) - Written by Timo Rissanen & Alison Gwitt, argues the need to incorporate 'future repair' as a central element of fashion design processes.
Have you heard about New York's proposed sustainable fashion law? It's called the Fashion Sustainability and Social Accountability Act, and if it is passes those behind it say: this groundbreaking piece of legislation that will make New York the global leader in accountability for the $2.5 trillion fashion industry. Supporters include the likes of Stella McCartney and Jane Fonda.So, why do we need it?If New York were a country, it would rank as the world's 10th largest economy, bigger than Canada, Russia and Korea. You already know that the global fashion industry has major climate impacts. It is responsible for around 4% of carbon emissions (some say 10%). Meanwhile, supply chains remain stubbornly opaque, garment and textile workers continue to get a raw deal and fashion waste is a major polluter. And New York, as an iconic commercial rag trade hub, has the potential to play a powerful role in transforming things.This week, Clare sits down with Maxine Bedat, founder of New Standard Institute, one of the driving forces behind the Act. They discuss how it came about, what it hopes to achieve and whether it's likely to fly. Maxine is sustainable fashion pioneer, formerly one half of Zady and last year she published her first book - Unravelled, The Life & Death of Garment.Let us know what you think.

Ken Pucker discusses why 25 years of corporate social responsibility has done little to curb carbon emissions from the textile industry, and why we urgently need new laws to save the planet. Ken is a former chief operating officer at Timberland, a lecturer, and a vocal critic of the Environmental and Social Governance Industry. His most recent article for the Harvard Business - entitled The Myth of Sustainable Fashion has gained some traction online - so we thought it was time to get him on our podcast! It was partially a take-down of the ESG industry, and how he thinks it has failed to curb the carbon excesses of the textile industry. Currently, he's a senior Lecturer in Sustainable Business Dynamics at the Fletcher School at Tufts University in Boston. He's also been advising some of the NGOs involved in pushing forward The Fashion Sustainability and Social Accountability Act in New York State - which discuss in the podcast. We started off by talking about his time at Timberland from 1992 to 2007, with the last seven years as Chief Operating Officer. This was during a period when its CEO Jeff Shwartz pioneered a business model of Justice with the three pillars of Environmental Stewardship, Global Human Rights, and Citizen Service.

Hosted by Simone Roach New York lawmakers announced a bill aimed at imposing sustainability reporting requirements on the fashion industry. If passed, the Fashion Sustainability and Social Accountability Act would generally require major fashion retailers to map their supply chains, make various disclosures on their websites, and commit to reducing their environmental impact. The law would broadly apply to fashion retail sellers and manufacturers with more than $100 million in gross revenue that do business in New York. These companies would have to use good faith efforts to map a minimum of 50% of their suppliers by volume across all tiers of production, from raw material to final production. Based on this exercise, companies would have to disclose certain information on their websites.

This week we were joined by two very courageous startup founders – Mikaela Larsell Ayesa from Sweden, and Lisa Gautier from France – who have taken on the second most polluting industry in the world that is the clothing industry with their startup ‘Hack Your Closet', launched in 2019.Customers can subscribe via the app to gain access to over 30,000 items of second-hand clothing available to rent. Like a dating app, but for clothes, customers simply swipe left or right on each item to allow the algorithm to become familiar with their taste and size – et voila! They'll receive a personalized box containing four items of clothing that have been hand picked by the company's own stylists.The pair have been so successful that in just two years they've grown their team from 2 to over 30 employees, and they recently raised 20 million Swedish Krona to ease their recent expansion to France. It was a super interesting talk, we hope you enjoy it – let us know what you think!Website | Hack Your Closet: Hackyourcloset.com - Discover a greener way to update your closet.Blog | The News Closet - Hack your closet

Why is incineration and sending waste to landfill or third world countries the only options available?More than 80% of used fabrics in fashion are made out of blended fibers. They cannot be handled in recycling.There are three types of waste - pre-industrial, post-industrial, and post-consumer waste.If we want to turn waste into raw material again, we need to understand what we want to make and use this material after.Brands and innovation need to find the sweet spot in order to work together.Big brands have the power to push the agenda and to influence the supply chain, but it takes them longer to implement change compared to small brands. Every brand should ask themselves: what impact do you want to create as a brand? If you want to create a BIG impact, then you need to ensure your process is scalable.About the host:Dessy is the founder of Fashion Insiders & Co - an online platform supporting fashion and creative entrepreneurs who are in the process of launching and growing purpose-driven brands.
