What are your thoughts on restorative and regenerative business models, such as the Circular Economy, especially in the fashion industry? I think these are great solutions. I really respect designers and creatives who are able to make something beautiful out of something used. It takes a lot of time, effort, and imagination. It truly is the most sustainable solution to our waste problem.

In terms of my own ability to bring circular practices into my business, I am an avid recycler, I reuse almost all things that come into my studio (shipping materials, plastic protection, paper) at least once. If recycled fabric options are available, I choose these over virgin material. In a short amount of time, for my new collection Raha, I will be launching my first true upcycling pieces in collaboration with textile artist Chisara Vidale. It has been interesting to see how I can contribute to this space within my own creative capacity.
