Today on Equity, we’re bringing you two bonus conversations all about sustainability in fashion from TechCrunch Disrupt 2023. First up you’ll hear our very own Harri Weber sit down with three guests: Jim Ajioka from Colorifix, Beth Esponnette from unspun and Julie Willoughby from Circ. They are all powerhouses in sustainable fashion and they all happened to join Harri on the Sustainability Stage. Watch their full conversation here.
In part two, we have a great conversation between TechCrunch’s Morgan Sung and Jemima Bunbury from BLEND, a curated fashion app that is changing the way we shop online. BLEND uses AI-powered personalized recommendations to help customers quickly and easily find products that suit their style, size and budget. Their goal is to prevent impulse purchases, and of course, make it possible to stay trendy and shop sustainably.
Here's what our guests are diving into:
- Fixing the fashion supply chain so all the materials are created in a sustainable way
- Helping consumers find products that will last
- Enticing larger brands to shift to sustainable practices
- Why a holistic approach to sustainable fashion is crucial when trying to eliminate waste in the industry
That's all for us today, but we'll catch up again on Monday!
