Summary: In this week’s episode, host Sarah Collins and Creative Director and Founder of The KIT, Daniel Vosovic talk about how Daniel’s brand is changing the way a Fashion company is run. While conventional wisdom about the Fashion Industry is that the Triple Bottom Line (Profit, People, and Planet) is a hierarchy where companies have to place profit over people/ planet or the planet/people over profit, Daniel has been able to put them all on the same level. Daniel describes following the traditional path to starting his own line until he decided to “blow the whole thing up” and forge a new path in Fashion. Sarah and Daniel discuss the need for a seismic change in the Fashion industry in terms of transparency and sustainability.
