**This episode is brought to you by MuteSix, ShoppingGives, DRVE, and CartLoop** “For Day is a model built to scale, striving to be an epicenter for change rather than sitting on the sidelines,” so says Kristy Caylor, Co-Founder & CEO of For Days. In part two of this feature, we discuss choosing the right materials and how that helps guarantee recyclability. That's why the brand prioritizes organic materials, works with safe, certified dyes, and understands the ethical component. According to Kristy, there's no perfection.

**This episode is brought to you by MuteSix, ShoppingGives, DRVE, and CartLoop** “A zero-waste fashion system that rewards the customer,” that's the goal of For Days, says Kristy Caylor, Co-Founder, and CEO. True to its goal, For Days is the first entirely closed-loop clothing brand. Kristy has a degree in various fields, including engineering, painting, design, and business. After business school, she entered the fashion industry and worked at Gap Inc., where she learned inside and out the apparel business, supply chain, and mass production issues. She left that company when she saw a need for a new business model that could solve clothing waste. In 2010, she started a brand called Maiyet, which experienced the same wastage problem. She sees “waste generation” as an opportunity. In part 1 of her talk with The Story of a Brand podcast, Kristy talks about: * Gratefulness * Overview of the brand * Her background in business and the fashion industry * Eliminating clothing waste * Incentivizing right behavior * How the process works * Response from other apparel companies Join Ramon Vela and Kristy Caylor as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.

In episode 247, Kestrel welcomes Christian Allaire, the Fashion and Style Writer at Vogue, to the show. Christian recently released his first book, titled The Power Of Style: How Fashion and Beauty Are Being Used To Reclaim Cultures. “I think of something like ribbon work in my culture — like every color of the ribbon means something, or maybe it represents someone in your life or like you said, intention is first and foremost. How it looks is important, but why it's there is even more important. And so, I'm drawn to anyone who also approaches design that way.” -Christian As a fashion-obsessed teen, Christian grew up on the Nipissing First Nation reserve in Ontario, Canada, scouring magazines or movies for style inspiration. Years later, he realized that so much of his personal aesthetic and attraction to fashion and dressing was influenced by his own community - being Indigenous Ojibwe. From the colors to the garment making process to the deep meaning that can be embedded in clothing, his love of fashion was largely shaped in his early years, and continues to inform his writing today. One of the chapters of Christian's new book — The Power Of Style: How Fashion and Beauty Are Being Used To Reclaim Cultures — is focused on “Sewing Tradition”, and he explores some of the history and meaning behind ribbon work, a tradition connected to his own family's roots. Throughout the conversation, we touch a great deal on his experience having his own ribbon shirt made as an adult, and the layers of meaning literally built into that design. But in Christian's new book, he also explores beyond his own heritage, highlighting and connecting with an array of communities who are all using fashion and beauty to reclaim their culture. Quotes & links from the conversation: “I really just kind of understood more so why cultural clothing or Indigenous design is so important to keep up — it's up to us to continue these traditions, because no one else will. And so, yes I got a beautiful shirt out of it, but I think it was about way more than that for me.” -Christian Jamie Okuma, Indigenous designer Christian mentions Mobilize, Indigenous designer Christian mentions Tania Larsson, Indigenous designer Christian mentions Warren Steven Scott, Indigenous designer Christian mentions Keri Ataumbi, Indigenous designer Christian mentions Korina Emmerich, Indigenous designer Christian mentions “5 Shoe Lovers on Where They Shop for Heels, and Why Wearing Them Is Empowering”, article by Christian for Vogue that is mentioned Christian's book Power Of Style How Fashion and Beauty Are Being Used To Reclaim Cultures > Follow Christian on Instagram > This week's episode is brought to you by For Days — they call themselves the “first closed loop clothing brand” and are dedicated to building a better, waste-free future.

In episode 246, Kestrel welcomes Nia Thomas, the founder and designer of her eponymous label, to the show. An ethically made, independent autobiographical fashion brand, Nia Thomas was created for all beings who respect Mother Earth and all of her inhabitants. “Fashion was never just about the garment or the clothes — I felt like it really is an ethos. Like fashion is about the restaurants you like to eat, the movies you like to watch, the museums you go to with your friends on the weekend, where you like to travel to on holiday. And creating this world of evolution, because as we get older, we change; we're evolutional beings, and how our wardrobe is affected by that.” -Nia If you've taken any fashion businesses courses, or if you're tapped into the marketing space, I would imagine that you've heard the idea that we need to focus on one thing and do it well. Or maybe you've heard about the importance of honing in on a hyper specific quote unquote demographic, to ensure you're actually entering the market in the *right* way? This week's guest is totally resisting all of the above business ideals in the most beautiful way. From her eclectic and you could say unexpected product offering, to making styles for many bodies, Nia Thomas describes her label as an “autobiographical brand”. On the show, she shares more on how she allows her own evolution to consistently influence her brand — giving space for Nia Thomas to continue to transition into new stages, that are reflective of her own growth as a human. Quotes & links from the conversation: “I feel the word sustainability itself means everything and nothing at the same time — because it's really hard to verify things.” -Nia Nia Thomas interview on Melanin & Sustainable Style “Am I a fashion designer or am I a multitasking problem solver because that's the bulk of what it takes when you're doing all the parts.” -Nia The Responsible Company by Yvon Choinard, book Kestrel mentions Nia Thomas YouTube > Follow Nia on Instagram > This week's episode is brought to you by For Days — they call themselves the “first closed loop clothing brand” and are dedicated to building a better, waste-free future.

In episode 245, Kestrel welcomes Eshita Kabra-Davies, the CEO and founder of By Rotation, to the show. A UK-based social fashion rental app and platform, By Rotation is dedicated to transforming the way we consume fashion. “I think no one's really attempted to make fashion rental about the sharing economy, to make it about women sharing with each other. It's always been seen more as a “oh, I want to wear designer clothing” or “oh, I want to wear something new” or “oh, I have a charity gala or a ball to go to”. It's always been for those sort of reasons — it's never really addressed the fact that we all have enough fashion in our existing wardrobes.” -Eshita Have you heard the recent discussion about how the rental market could have a worse impact on the planet than just throwing your clothes in the trash? It's been circulating around across the mainstream media after a new study was released in the journal - Environmental Research Letters. First of all — research within the fashion space is so important and necessary and needed. We are lacking in accumulated data as an industry, so it is always exciting to learn about new studies and the way they go about putting their findings together. At the same time, when it comes to research, there are going to be biases involved, every detail cannot be accounted for, and there will be some assumptions made. It's complex, yet important to continue to question and explore the nuance with the arrival of new data and new framings of analytics. When it comes to reports like this, it's very important to hear from individuals on different sides of the results and to listen to multiple perspectives. On this week's show, we talk with Eshita — the founder and CEO of By Rotation — on how they are working to make the sharing economy personal. For By Rotation, fashion rental is not another sales avenue to sell hundreds of dresses (to the rental company instead of the consumer) — it's instead an opportunity to allow us to use / rent what we already have in our own closets. Quotes & links from the conversation: “People are feeling pressure to always update their look, you know, always have something new happening in their lives — whether it's going to the newest restaurant or wearing the latest handbag or whatever — there's this pressure to always show new things. And I thought it would be so interesting if we could create a sharing economy around fashion, because fashion, turns out, is one of the most polluting industries in the world. It overtakes maritime and aviation industries combined — which is shocking because you would think that traveling and taking airplanes is the biggest contributor, but actually, it's what we wear every day.” -Eshita “Innovative recycling or extended use? Comparing the global warming potential of different ownership and end-of-life scenarios for textiles” -study by Environmental Research Letters Follow Eshita on Instagram > Follow By Rotation on Instagram > This week's episode is brought to you by For Days — they call themselves the “first closed loop clothing brand” and are dedicated to building a better, waste-free future.

In episode 244, Kestrel welcomes Alyssa Beltempo, a Canadian slow fashion expert and stylist, to the show. Through her YouTube channel with over 144K subscribers to her Instagram and website, Alyssa is dedicated to reminding us that there is a power in advocating for creativity over consumption. "I wanted to fill the gap of showing that you can consume less and it can actually be fun and it doesn't have to be a sacrifice — which, like society has made it out that way — like we have to be in this constant search of more, when in fact, the opposite can actually be a very fruitful and rewarding endeavor." -Alyssa The idea for this conversation was actually sparked when Alyssa reached out to Kestrel, after listening to episode 241 with Akilah Stewart of FATRA. In that chat, there was a lot of discussion about creativity, and Alyssa said she loved how Akilah highlighted that everyone can be creative, and that resonated a lot with her own approach to styling. So, thanks to Akilah for inspiring the seeds for this episode! We explore more on the power that creativity holds, when we are thinking about how to get beyond the rhetoric of consuming less, shopping your own closet when you can, how the narrative is finally shifting away from putting *all* of the responsibility on the shopper to address fashion's messes, and more. Quotes & links from the conversation: “Using less and being creative with what you have — this is not a new concept. Maybe I'm presenting it in a different way, but being more sustainable in your mindset is rooted in the way of life for poor and marginalized communities. My immigrant grandparents were reusing and being creative because that was what was available to them.” -Alyssa “It's almost like we need to be a bit more materialistic in a sense — like we need to love what we have — when you love what you have, you tend to want less.” -Alyssa Episode 240 with Maxine Bédat Episode 47 with Timo Rissanen Power Of My People, brand that makes linen shirt Alyssa mentions Live virtual “Shop Your Closet” event Subscribe to Alyssa's YouTube Channel > Follow Alyssa on Instagram > This week's episode is brought to you by For Days — they call themselves the “first closed loop clothing brand” and are dedicated to building a better, waste-free future.

When you order a Take Back bag from For Days, you fill it with old clothes (in any condition, from any brand), ship it back to them, and they give you store credit. But behind that very simple exchange is a complex supply chain that's built on circularity.When founder Kristy Caylor learned that on average, each person in the US sends 70 pounds of fabric to the landfill, it was an epiphany. If you think about how to shrink your annual pile of unwanted clothes, donation, resale, and repair may come to mind. But Kristy was concerned about the items that don't have a place in any of those reuse streams, which is why For Days is focused on basics. There are no greener pastures for your old t-shirts, socks, and underwear — that is until now.For Days launched with an in-house recovery facility where they receive, source, and grade each item they collect from their takeback program. Depending on the condition and fabric of an item, For Days will rejuvenate it for sale on their site, or ship it to downcycling partners. In this episode, Kristy talks about what it really takes to build a circular fashion brand, how to motivate consumer behavior changes, and where brands need to invest to accelerate real industry progress.Visit the Lumi blog for links and images.

With degrees in Industrial Engineering, Business, and Fashion Design, Kristy Caylor was well prepared for the world of fashion by the time she joined GAP Inc. in 2004. She led the Project (RED) initiative within GAP, which engaged the private sector in raising awareness and funds to help eliminate HIV/AIDS in Africa. This initiative revealed the enormous people and planet-saving power when consumers vote with their dollar on mission-driven, sustainability-focused outcomes. After GAP, Caylor created Maiyet, a brand that moved the needle for mission-driven businesses by proving that positive social impact can coexist with world-class aesthetics. Caylor's ventures also revealed how devastatingly inefficient and wasteful fashion can be. She knew clothing companies would need to take responsibility for business practices that encourage 80 pounds of landfill waste per consumer, per year. The entrepreneur felt that she could spark a revolution in the fashion industry if she could change the company's relationship to the consumer and consequentially, the consumer's relationship to their clothing. Kristy Caylor's vision to transform commerce came to fruition with For Days, a circular clothing company she launched in 2018. For Days is a zero-waste, closed-loop company with a SWAP program that allows shoppers to send back used— ripped, stretched, and even stained— clothing to be upcycled into new products. The shopper is rewarded upon returning items with credits towards their next purchase. When For Days sends customers new clothing, customers can return used clothing in the same bag, empowering shoppers to swap clothes easily and with minimal shipping waste. For Days makes sustainability accessible with price points, styles, and sizes that welcome participation from anyone and everyone. Their SWAP model builds loyalty and trust with consumers while emphasizing the long-term value of what's in all of our closets. Intrigued shoppers can earn credits with For Days by sending them a Take Back Bag, which can be filled with old clothes from any brand, in any condition— the goal is to divert all clothing from landfills.

Wardrobe for the Future begins with the question, “What’s in the closet for the future of fashion?”From idea to invention, the intersections of fashion, technology, bespoke, and innovation have never been more promising. New methods of creation, storytelling and materials are leading the way to a fashion future that is circular, safe, regenerative, and beautiful. Centered on the unique ways that new brand models and design systems are transforming, there is no one size fits all approach. This session will feature the voices of fashion founders on what’s in store as we look forward to hopeful tomorrows.Host:Sara Kozlowski, VP of Education + Sustainability Initiatives of CFDAGuests:Giusy Bettoni, CEO and Founder of C.L.A.S.S.

Caylor spent her early career growing businesses for Gap, Inc. including Banana Republic Petites, Banana Republic Japan, and was instrumental in leading Gap’s Product (RED) division. Caylor - a member of the CFDA - is a notable fashion veteran, having sat on the Lexus Fashion Initiative advisory board, worked with Cradle to Cradle’s Fashion + and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Textile Initiative. In 2014, the Voss Foundation recognized Caylor as the Woman Helping Women Honoree. In 2016, Caylor was appointed to the World Economic Forum's Global Future Council on Consumerism, and was invited to speak on the SXSW 2018 panel “Sustainability or Bust: The Future of Brands.”Jonathan Cohen, Co-Founder and Designer of Jonathan Cohen & Sarah Leff & Co-Founder and CEO of Jonathan CohenJonathan Cohen met business partner Sarah Leff while attending Parsons School of Design. Together, they formally launched Jonathan Cohen in 2011. After he received much recognition and encouragement from his peers and teachers for his senior thesis, he spent a year in California, where he continued to build upon his senior thesis. He came back to New York City, connected with Leff, and had his thesis photographed into a re-interpreted look book. Together, they selected a group of editors and stores and sent out their materials to gain market reaction. The Jonathan Cohen woman is a multi-dimensional woman who cannot be defined by a single quality….and those descriptors are constantly evolving. She’s a woman who values quality over quantity, values the craftsmanship that goes into creating her garments and when she spends money on a piece, she wants to make sure when she puts it on, she feels both unique and special. Jonathan Cohen placed runner-up in CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund and went on to partake in the CFDA Lexus Sustainability Residency.Watch the episode on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OillxE7mzRc See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Megan Murray leads the strategy group for the US at AnalogFolk, which is an independent creative agency. She’s the former Director of Marketing at Oiselle, and we met several years ago working together at Possible. We discuss advertising-specific topics such as creative briefs, agency structure, the most important conversations to have with clients, flaws in studies and research, the impact of ephemeral content on society, her appreciation for Mark Pollard, & strategist-specific discussions so much more. We also get in to more personal topics, such as how her parents’ approach to teaching lessons has shaped her outlook on life, we discuss burnout (she’s one to definitely run herself in to the ground) and how she’s working on preventing burnout. I’ve pulled one of my favorite quotes from Megan, to give prospective listeners a taste of the conversation, because this particular quote is a slice that representers so well why I love talking to her about strategy and her approach: “When I started to get a lot better at my job is when I started to respect that curiosity & an appropriate suspicion of your own knowledge is the best way to practice your craft… The second I started to loosen my grip on my own concept of what rightness is, is when I started to do some interesting work. I was also much more exploratory with my own job. Looking at business books is a very narrow way of exploring what our practice actually is, which is creativity & design” You can find Megan on social media, links are below: Twitter: https://twitter.com/meganmurray360 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meganmurray360/ Website: http://www.meganmurray.info/ We mentioned For Days, read more about them on Bustle: http://bit.ly/2ZEQIwA Follow #BTSPodcast and share what you learned and what you’d like to learn: Twitter: https://twitter.com/btsthepodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/btsthepodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/btsthepodcast/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/19055475/ Subscribe to #askamillennial for content marketing highlights, definitions in pop culture, and internet highlights: bit.ly/askamillennial Follow host Lynae Cook Twitter: https://twitter.com/lynaecook Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lynaecook/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lynaecook LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lynaecook/ Support #BTSPodcast via VenMo: @lynae-cook, or use code LZLRZ for an in-home massage with Soothe, LCOOK61 to save on your first HotelTonight booking, LYNAE to save on a Breather room, or LCOOK5142 to save on your first grocery delivery with InstaCart. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/btspodcast/support
Fascinated by the BTS Army waiting in line, outside, FOR DAYS, to hopefully get into SNL, I found one on Twitter and called her to get an idea of what it's like out there. What are her chances of getting in? What is she doing during the day? Can they leave? Is she alone? So many questions.
A lifetime membership to a better way of living. Sounds promising. This is more than an idea. This is an innovative circular T-Shirt Company that could change the waste problem caused by fast fashion, and a new commerce model for things we use every day. Kristy Caylor, CEO of For Days, joins Nataliya Makulova on location at ReMode Conference in Los Angeles. In this episode: A new model for commerce for things we use every day Avoiding cycle of purchase and pollute, purchase and pollute Wear, return, up-cycle Subscription model, not purchased, another type of consuming fashion, a sharing economy because sharing materials Eliminating closet clutter and clothing waste Doesn’t make anyone change consumption patterns, makes you feel great—same person as was but now helping reduce waste Having access to things that make you happy, optimistic and futuristic Empowering, closing the loop system Building a factory, scaling — working on—a smaller prototype in Los Angeles area Systems and processes and the value of Kristy’s engineering background Challenges of building new technology At the forefront of conversations and there is a shift in the industry And the need for a sense of connectivity
Kristy Caylor's first fashion brand, Maiyet, is an ethical brand exclusively selling clothing made by self-sustaining artisans from different areas of the world. But, while running the business, she still felt like she wasn't doing enough to help fashion's sustainability problem. In May, Caylor launched For Days, a retail company selling T-shirts and other knitwear on a subscription basis. When customers are done with the shirts, they send them back to For Days in exchange for a fresh batch. The company upcycles the used T-shirts to make new ones. Caylor joined the Glossy Podcast to discuss the idea of ownership, For Days' early days and how sustainability can work in fashion.
