inspiring vision for a sustainable future in fashion, emphasizing the
importance of leadership, social responsibility, and authentic connections with
consumers. His passion for meaningful change reminds us that every step, no
matter how small, can help shape a more responsible and innovative industry.

Bernd Keller’s small change suggestion is

items to exchange or repurpose. He commits to moving forward with this idea,
which he had been considering for a long time, to give items a second life and
promote sustainability through upcycling.
