This was such a great conversation! I wish more people in our industry spoke about these issues so upfront and eloquently as Stella. So inspiring and motivating to do things better.
Working with constraints, I have to say, makes creation and creativity! so exciting to see how much you can do within confines…. Because new solutions come forth. The creativity comes from YOU, and the material, together.
Thank you for bringing up this subjects to our attention, Stella. You have opened my eyes. You are such a go-getter & inspiration. Shows we all can contribute to the life on this planet even by purchasing non-leather accessories. I am much more aware now of your progressive thinking in an extremely though industry which is fashion. I won't buy leather shoes or handbag anymore! I love your idea of working with mylo and other sustainable materials. You are truly amazing. Thanks again
Regenerative cotton is NOT the same as organic cotton... And regenerative agriculture is not the same as organic farming and vice versa. There are so many differences between the two. Although this interview has inspired me to research more into this farming practice in the context of fashion, it does not give us transparent information on HOW the cotton fibers are grown, HOW is the organic matter in the soil replaced? WHAT is regenerated cotton truly?
As a past employee, sustainable design is nice, but... The operations side is incredibly wasteful. For instance, when a store receives a product from the manufacturer, it has tons of plastic, big boxes for 1-3 items that could have been folded and packed with other pieces. Tons of unnecessary paperwork is attached resulting in more waste. The company does not buy enough sizes for stores so 1 item gets passed around throughout the US which creates crazy emissions and smog. They want to keep a 'luxury" image so they spend tons of monies on shit like fancy Italian water (Panna) instead of buying other brands because it's not luxurious. They spend tons a year on events/gifts for their rich clients while staff is way underpaid and overworked which results in a HIGH turnover: a waste of time, energy and dinero.
