Thrilled doesn't even begin to cover how I feel about my journey as the CMO for NotLabeled. Every day, I have the privilege of steering the marketing strategies of a brand that doesn't just talk about sustainability and ethics but lives by those principles. In a world where fashion often comes at a cost to the planet, NotLabeled stands as a beacon of hope, proving that style and sustainability can go hand in hand. From sourcing eco-friendly materials to ensuring ethical practices in every stitch, NotLabeled is redefining what it means to be a fashion brand in today's world. But it's not just about the products. It's about the message, the movement, and the impact we're striving to make on the planet and in the hearts of our customers. It's about showing that every choice, no matter how small, contributes to a larger change. I'm not just proud to be part of NotLabeled; I'm inspired every day by our team's dedication, our community's enthusiasm, and the tangible difference we're making together. Here's to fashion that feels good, looks good, and does good. 🌍✨ Check us out at www.NotLabeled.com #SustainableFashion #EthicalBrand #EcoFriendly #NotLabeled #FashionRevolution

Last week, our managing director Katrin Ley participated in Changing the Fashion Industry session at the DLD Circular 2023 in Munich 👏 In this particular session, Patrik Lundström from our innovator Renewcell, Gudrun Messias from adidas, and David Puyuelo Huguet from COLEO joined as panellists, and it was moderated by Jennifer Schenker from The Innovator. These industry experts discussed how circular innovations can be a driving force in changing the fashion industry. A few insightful points were highlighted in her talk: ✅ To address the impacts in the fashion industry — carbon, waste, water, etc. — business as usual is not enough. Scaling innovation across all steps in the supply chain is key for industry transformation. ✅ Over the last 5 years, the interest in circularity and innovation has grown exponentially. Fashion for Good alone has scouted and screened more than 3000 innovators, supported more than 150, and raised financing of more than 1.5 billion euros. ✅ We need to address key barriers to unlock further scaling of hard-tech innovations, which is mostly related to 3 actors: innovators, industry, and investors. Policy is a key enabler as well. Thank you DLD Conference for organising this event. It was a pleasure to be part of this meaningful conversation!

Let's step forward together in crafting a more sustainable and responsible #fashionindustry.

It's exciting to see innovative business models transforming the apparel industry. Fresh Coast Climate Solutions very own Ana Garcia Rosa highlights the evolving business models that are moving away from the linear "take-make-dispose" model and towards a circular, regenerative economy. #climatesolutions #innovativebusinessmodel #apparelrepair #apparelreuse #resale #circularity #circularbusiness #circulareconomy #sustainableapparel

Very sad to see such a highly-respected, pioneering brand close. The fashion industry can be relentlessly difficult and disappointing. Our old-school supply chain distinguishes itself in all the wrong ways with volume and price always inversely proportional, so that Profit = low cost = large orders = unsold inventory = carbon emissions. There is little room in this equation for sustainable brands with "small and thoughtful capsules" to thrive. This is why we need more visionaries like Mara Hoffman who have the courage to try new things and pursue the right course despite the challenges. They set a lighthouse for all of us, motivating us to rethink what we are doing at the different junctures of this intricately interwoven system so that together we can build a more sustainable and commercially viable ecosystem for brands of all sizes. https://lnkd.in/gcQUTvDb #sustainability #sustainablefashion #fashiontech #innovation #supplychain #supplychaintech Elizabeth Henries Rachel Sterling Keegan Andreas Paige Andreas Dr. Christina Dean Kate Sheldon 🕊 CEO The Fashioneering Lab JP Stevenson

A purchase you can Feel Great About : Celebrating Outerknown's Commitment I shop for #sustainable brands out of concern for the environment. As a consumer, I aim to reduce my carbon footprint and minimize production waste. I want to play my part and feel good about my purchases. Will I pay more for apparel if it uses recycled materials, sustainable fibers, and a localized supply chain to improve emissions and ensure fair wages? YES!  An important fact is that consumers prioritize our Earth when choosing sustainable products, with 60% citing a desire to reduce production waste and 54% expressing overall concern for the environment. I want to give a huge shout-out to the apparel brand Outerknown. Not only do they offer fabulous sustainable clothing, but they also have an on-site #circular program called #Outerworn. This allows you to buy or sell Outerknown products, continuing to breathe new life into the garments. And did I mention they started a women's line last year? I received my order last week, a station jumpsuit of superior quality and incredibly comfortable. Just look at the packaging below; this is what a sustainable best-in-class brand looks like before you even see the amazing apparel. 🏄♂️ The little details matter. Thank you, Outerknown—I am a fan for life! #circulareconomy #retail #ecofriendly #recycle #UPSCapital #brandlove

After the #EPNatOSU Designing Circular Economy Strategies from within the Textiles and Fashion Industries breakfast on Tuesday, October 10, come back to the 4-H Center for a Clothing Swap from 12-2PM. Drop off clothing on Monday, 10AM-12PM, at Kottman Hall main lobby or bring your clothes to swap at the event on Tuesday. Here are four reasons why you should swap your clothes and consider attending: 1. Discover new pieces that you never knew you wanted to help cultivate your own style. 2. Provide a new home for unworn and unwanted clothes. 3. It is an environmentally conscious way to save clothes from landfills while extending the garments' life. 4. A price conscious option - no money is required at this event!
