Every decision we make in the fashion industry is like sending a message, a message that speaks volumes about us as individuals and as a society. It's incredible to think about the impact we can have on the future of fashion, and the potential to redefine its purpose and make it even more meaningful.

🌍 From Vision to Reality: My Journey as a Founder of Two Sustainable Fashion Brands When I started One For Blue and Joon Blu, the mission was clear—create fashion that doesn’t cost the planet. Along the way, I've learned that sustainability is not just a product choice, but a mindset that touches every aspect of the business. Here are a few key takeaways from my journey: - Purpose Over Profit When you focus on purpose, profit follows. Both One For Blue and JoonBlu were born from a passion to make a difference, and that purpose has attracted customers who share our values, stories and experiences. This helped us build a loyal, cause-driven community. - Innovation is the Heart of Sustainability In an industry that thrives on trends, staying sustainable requires constant innovation. Whether it's finding eco-friendly materials or refining production processes, every small step toward innovation brings us closer to our mission. - Challenges Build Resilience Building a sustainable brand comes with challenges—higher costs, consumer education, industry barriers and other micro & macro challanges. But every challenge has shaped me into a stronger entrepreneur and a more resourceful leader. - Collaboration is Key Enterpreneurship isn’t a solo journey. Partnering with like-minded creators, suppliers, and even customers has amplified our impact. Surround yourself with people who are as passionate about the cause as you are. - The Power of Storytelling In a saturated market, it’s the stories behind your brand that make you stand out. Transparency about your journey, values, and challenges builds a loyal customer base that believes in what you’re doing. 💡 Advice for Young Entrepreneurs If you want to create a meaningful change, don’t wait for the perfect time or product. Start small, be transparent, and stay authentic and more importantly consistent. The world is ready for businesses that don’t just sell products but also inspire change. #SustainableFashion #EntrepreneurJourney #EcoFriendlyFashion #FounderInsights #PurposeDrivenBusiness #Sustainability

Working with fashion and sustainability is a journey and not a destination. There's no such thing as having 100% sustainability. Feeling bad or wrong for 'not getting there yet', can lead to wanting to give up altogether. So, be kind to yourself and your brand.. Think of running your business as a game where there's always something to learn, improve and develop as you go along. Even big brands that seem to have it all figured out are still working on improving their sustainability. There's always something to improve. And these brands are no better. They're just further along the game than you are. On the 'Conscious Impact' 1:1 program I will support you every step of the way, through coaching you to be your best self 😆. So, by the end of the program you will gain clarity and confidence, to know how to improve and develop YOU and your fashion business, to success. Investment for this 12 week program is £3,600. Last day for sign up is 14 May. Full details of the transformation 😄, is in the comments 👇 . #sutainablefashion #fashiondesigner #fashionentrepreneur

How to pivot or evolve by looking to your core why to source your creative motivation. How could you expand to fulfill your why on new levels, for greater value? What an amazing time at State Forty Eight Foundation / State Forty Eight Entrepreneur speaker series. Amazing energy, supportive community, and inspiring talks. Reminding me to always dig to the why, the essence of any endeavor I come across. This unfolded in a conversation with Althea from RESALE THERAPY, L.L.C.. We spoke about the business, where Althea and her daughter resell vintage clothing from "Raghouses" - places where Textile waste comes to get a new life. She mentioned that they're pivoting due to their retail location lease becoming untenable. When talking to Althea about the ultimate why for the business, she spoke about the need for more sustainable fashion practices, where we don't have to extractively source virgin / plastic-based materials. Althea was figuring out how to stay afloat while continuing to grow their impact to shift the fashion system instead of just making a small dent. We surfaced a potential where she can actually integrate into the fast fashion industry to support them in using recycled clothes as part of their offerings, opening potential for shifting how sourcing works on a systemic scale. This shift represents an evolution of their offering with a service stacked onto the product offering. While this service of "recycled fashion sourcing for modern fashion brands" is a separate activity from her current selling of textiles, it expands upon the core "why" of creating a more sustainable fashion industry. Because it's sourced from this core "why", it can shift to match the specific needs of the modern fashion industry without compromising on it's purpose. It's so cool to see people who're executing on their ambitions and dream with them about their potential for tangible systemic change. Thanks Althea for the amazing conversation. It was great to see you as well Enrique - and shout out to Melody for representing the Hopi people as the latest board member for State Forty Eight Foundation. Gratitude to Michael Spangenberg for putting this all together, I'm excited for the next 3 speaker series! On top of this, we also dreamed up a collaboration around a future music video for one of my unreleased songs - "Came Thru Drippin". Stay tuned :)
