Do fashion weeks drive real sustainable change?

I think it is really cool when designers use Copenhagen Fashion Week or New York Fashion Week as a way to showcase sustainable fashion, which some of them are doing, with either recycled pieces or deadstock fabrics. And I think that is what will fuel change in this industry because people look to fashion weeks for inspiration and ideas of what they’re supposed to wear. And if you see these designers who are creating pieces that are mindful and sustainable and eco-friendly, I think the consumer will then say, "Oh, I can incorporate this into my life too, and I can buy pieces that are recycled or secondhand."

I also think that fashion week is the main stage for fashion, and a lot of people's introduction to the different technologies of fashion. And in those fashion weeks, new technologies are often revealed, so I think it is really a great platform to promote sustainability.
