168: Sustainable Fashion, the Global Perspective - with Ruby Veridiano, Paris Ambassador, Remake

In this amazing episode of The EdUp Experience, sponsored by MDT Marketing, we have the honor of speaking with Ruby Veridiano, Paris Ambassador, Remake!  Ruby talks to us about the fashion industry - how workers in some countries are exploited, and why sustainable fashion is a necessary piece of education that colleges and universities need to deliver to students.  The fashion industry includes materials/textiles, human resources, supply chain management, product marketing, sales, and general business - it's an ecosystem.  Ruby also discusses being a social justice warrior for Asian-Americans and a voice for women.  Ruby has consulted with some of the most well-known universities in the world.

She is a fashion journalist, storyteller, educator, and speaker whose work focuses on connecting the dots between women's empowerment and sustainable fashion, as well as promoting diversity & inclusion in the fashion industry. She has been a contributing correspondent for NBC News, NYLON Magazine, and Mic.com, and has interviewed designers Anna Sui, Vivienne Tam, and Prabal Gurung, among other multicultural designers in the fashion industry.
