209: Emma Hakansson is the Founding Director of Collective Fashion Justice, a not-for-profit working for a fashion system that upholds total ethics: prioritizing justice for animals, people and the planet. Emma and I discuss leather, exotic animal skins, and the shifting role of both fashion houses and consumers in accelerating a more just fashion industry. We also discuss Emma's viral TikTok protesting outside an Hermes store for the #DropCroc campaign, and how to eloquently encourage those around you to consider more ethical fashion choices.
Collective Fashion Justice is actively releasing reports in a four-part series called Under Their Skin. The latest new report, ‘Leather’s Impact on the Planet’ is a fabulous collection of data and research surrounding the destruction linked to cattle skin and leather production, tanning, and product manufacturing.
