Making Fashion Sustainable & Circular

on YouTube ↗24m

" summary

A designer who grew up on a Uruguayan farm applies its pre-industrial practices to fashion: developing Tipa biodegradable packaging, switching to botanical dyes, replacing plastic with recycled cardboard hangers, and banning styrofoam. Ready-to-wear uses 50% upcycled/recycled in 2020 with a target of 60–70% in 2021. Shows and stores are measured and offset — a documented carbon-neutral runway show in 2019 — and repair, local sourcing and slow, organic growth guide production choices.
