S1E9: Fashion Revolution’s Co-Founder Orsola de Castro on The Broken Fashion Industry and How We Can Save It | Orsola De Castro

Welcome to the ninth episode of ‘The IKKIVI Podcast’. In this episode we have with us Orsola De Castro, co-founder and global creative director of Fashion Revolution - a global movement campaigning for a clean, safe, fair, transparent and accountable fashion industry. An inspiration to so many of us working to make a change in the industry, she has provided us support and guidance at every step as we make progress.

On this week’s show we talk about her experiences in (and with) the fashion industry, the ways in which clothes have been an integral part of her life since the very beginning, how she worked to navigate and marry together seemingly disparate things she was moved by and the deep seated problems that have persisted in the capitalistic system of production.

In this conversation, Orsola offers us critical reflections on the contemporary state of affairs in the field of fashion, the ways in which we can cultivate a criteria to make purchases, the meaning of having a vision, and the need to learn from places and people who are the narrative of creation to assimilate a sustainable lifestyle.
