Consumers and the fashion industry alike are realizing that sustainability is more than just a buzzword—it needs to be a way of life and a way of business.  Our guest today is a sustainability advocate and an internationally recognized leader in social impact.

Patrick Duffy is the founder of The Global Fashion Exchange as well as the global partnerships manager for Common Objective, an intelligent business network for the fashion industry.  In this conversation with Fashion Futurist Amanda Cosco, he speaks about sustainability beyond the buzzwords and how to be a conscious consumer. 

Welcome to this exclusive episode, I couldn't be more proud, inspired and excited to share this with you. This Earth Day - 22nd June 2021 - I had the pleasure of teaming up with Model Mafia, Global Fashion Exchange and Selina Hotels to host a live panel event with such an incredible group of people. Delving Deep; The Intersections of Sustainability was our theme for the event, and the intention was to explore the overlooked aspects of climate change, such as how it affects all of us differently, segregation, ignorance towards smaller and more threatened and affected communities, how our actions in Western communities and large cities may not directly affect our livelihood but are destroying those of others', and much more. We discuss the importance of talking, listening and asking questions, and of storytelling in order to shed light on many overlooked threats of climate change. Our panelists include Gelila Bekele, model and filmmaker; Jena Goldsack, model, marine conservationist in training; Veronica Pome'e, model, entrepreneur and activist; and Patrick Duffy, founder of Global Fashion Exchange. Each one brings a unique approach to the areas of sustainability that are most demanding and destructive right now, and together we discuss simple solutions, what needs to be done on a larger scale, and how we can move with more compassion and community at the heart of how we exist.

What does "sharing economy" exactly mean? It can mean a lot, from rental to repair services, from circular processes to non-linear solutions. But what are the potentials and how is the customer’s reception? Three different guests talked to Jana Kern & Alex Vogt (Kern) at the Fashionsustain conference about the business cases behind the different models of their companies: Sara Eriksson gave us an insight into the rental service by H&M Group, Sandya Lang introduced the repair/reuse service by Nudie Jeans, and Patrick Duffy explained how a clothes swap concept was developed by Global Fashion Exchange.

In episode 185, Kestrel welcomes Amanda Parkes, the Chief Innovations Officer at Pangaia, to the show. A materials science company, Pangaia is on a mission to save our environment. “We are moving into the bioeconomy, which is this very notion that biomass is at the base of both agriculture, materials and energy. So, we can think about the circle and the interchange between all of those systems — it’s the basis of the true circular economy.” -Amanda Parkes, Chief Innovations Officer at Pangaia On this week’s show, Amanda shares more on her multidisciplinary background, and how she’s found a way to bridge her expertise in science, tech, and art with her work at Pangaia. She talks about the unique attributes of Pangaia’s business model — how they bring together scientists, technologists, and designers in their work; and the way they make an R&D plan that goes 8 years out, which no fashion companies are doing today.

The megatrends of digitalization and customization are posing major challenges for the fashion industry. But at the same time, they also hold enormous potential – in terms of sustainability, for example, and the return of production to Europe. At the last Neonyt in July, the Romanian enterprise Gemini Cad Systems presented the micro-factory „Pixel To Product“. There Gemini showed how intelligent technologies can enable more efficiency and resource savings. In the Neonyt Retail Forum, co-founder and CEO Traian Luca and Patrick Duffy, founder of the Global Fashion Exchange, discuss how to rethink the fashion retail. Our guests: Patrick Duffy, Global Fashion Exchange Traian Luca, CEO Gemini Moderated by Alex Vogt, Kern.consulting

The second in our series of Fashion Revolution-themed shows, this Episode is about the magical powers of the clothes swap. It's also about us having way too many clothes. And some of it is just about the charmed life of Patrick Duffy, New York’s clothes swap king, and co-founder of Global Fashion Exchange. Buy less choose well is great, but it’s clearly it’s not what everyone’s doing. There are quite simply too many clothes in our wardrobes. Fashion resale is projected to be bigger than fast fashion within 10 years. Millennials are both the most sustainably minded and the biggest impulse buyers - they typically discard items after 1 to 5 wears. What we are seeing here is a picture of excess. So now it’s time to consider some of the more creative ways we can tackle our clothing mountains and also our appetites for fashion. What's the haulternative? The simplest way to extend the life of your clothes is by giving them a new owner. And the greenest way to get a mad fashion fix is to go to, or hold a fashion swap.
