Meet | Fashion for Good 🖤⠀ ⠀ On The @SustainabilityPortal blog, we catch up with @FashionforGood’s Managing Director, Katrin Ley, following AFC’s visit to the global initiative’s hub in Amsterdam. ⠀ ⠀ "In nutshell, the fashion industry has a tremendously complex and opaque value chain. That is facing a fundamental redesign requirement under huge consumers scrutiny and cost pressure. The biggest challenge therefore is for all these actors to collaborate in the pre-competitive mindset.⠀ Therefore, we are trying to get the entire fashion industry together to collaborate so we can drive systematic change through innovation." Katrin Ley⠀ ⠀ Hear about their Innovation Platform with accelerating and scaling programmes, The Good Shop and the Fashion for Good Experience; the world’s first interactive Museum for sustainable fashion innovation... 🙌⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 📸 Fashion for Good⠀ #ausfashioncouncil #sustainablefashion #amsterdamfashion #innovation #fashiontech #fashionbusiness ⠀ https://buff.ly/2ZoJixa
Meet | Fashion for Good 🖤⠀ ⠀ On The @SustainabilityPortal blog, we catch up with @FashionforGood’s Managing Director, Katrin Ley, following AFC’s visit to the global initiative’s hub in Amsterdam. ⠀ ⠀ "We started looking at the fashion industry and the challenges that this industry faces and realised that business as usual doesn’t work to address the size of those challenges. It really requires innovation, and innovation at scale, to address those challenges. That’s the core idea - to create collaborative innovation by bringing brands, manufacturers and retailers together with the start-ups, and then help them grow..."

Meet | Fashion for Good 🖤⠀ ⠀ On The @SustainabilityPortal blog, we catch up with @FashionforGood’s Managing Director, Katrin Ley, following AFC’s visit to the global initiative’s hub in Amsterdam. ⠀ ⠀ "The path that led me to Fashion for Good wasn’t that clear cut, and the career choices I made didn’t seem to connect for a while. I became more and more aware of the problems and challenges that face the fashion industry — the need for change as well as the potential solutions and innovations that exist. ⠀ By joining Fashion for Good, dots that previously seemed unconnected now connect – I am able to bring together the corporate apparel and footwear world, the startup world and the investment world, with meaning...I trusted my gut and my desire to make an impact and contribute to society. The fact that my daughter was born around this time furthered this desire and made me reflect on the idea of purpose and leaving behind a legacy for future generations."
