Really happy and encouraged to see so much sustainability coverage in the fashion press recently.

I find myself in a position to influence the sustainability measures of brands all the time, and being able to expand my knowledge from all this press coverage is really amazing and honestly just feels like free education.

I am ABSOLUTELY going to raise the topic of meat-industry Bison Hair fiber use as discussed in this @Fashionista_com piece by @Unwrinkling to the brand I’m currently working with. https://fashionista.com/2019/11/bison-wool-fiber-sustainable-material-united-by-blue

The Future of Sustainable Materials: Bison Wool

Whether in the form of super-soft bison "down" or ultra-insulating guard hairs, this meat industry byproduct deserves to be salvaged rather than sent to landfill.

Anyway, if I was going to start my career over again, it would be in supply chain sustainability measures, fabric sourcing, and labor auditing.

Even though I def do all those things anyway in my normal work with brands.
