KEY LEARNINGS

I see sustainability as something that has to take into account the entire supply chain and the lifecycle of the fiber, of the fabric and of the garment. 

The biggest challenges is making sustainability accessible to everybody. That is the challenge for us all. And there is going to be a lot of collaboration needed for that.
