  • #44 Ifeanyi Okwuadi, Founder of his eponymous brand (Menswear Fashion Designer)

    Like many of his fellows who had a successful career in the fashion industry, Ifeanyi Okwuadi also did his class at Savile Row. The 28 year old fashion designer based in London indeed learned and understood how to make a garment, and by definition, an impeccable one. If quality is his main focus, it’s certainly for him a way to create a piece that sustains through time. 


    He envisioned his collection through the artisanal gesture and that’s probably what made him stand out of the 36th Hyères Fashion Festival. Winner of the Great Prize in 2021, the menswear designer took into account everything that makes sense to him such as sourcing the right fabrics, using great craftsmanship, but also by including his remarkable tailor skills.


    In today’s Smart Creation episode, we talked with Ifeanyi about locality, ambition and sustainability from a design perspective.

  • #43 Alberto De Conti, Head of Marketing and Fashion Division at Rudolf Group (Chemical Company for the Textile Industry)

    Did you know that chemistry plays a major role in the sustainable transition? Today, Smart Creation invites Alberto De Conti, the Head of marketing and fashion division at Rudolf Group. As the leading conscious chemical partner for the global textile, Rudolf Group aims to provide innovative products in a responsible way. 


    Alberto identifies the challenges and also the solutions regarding the current state of the textile industry. If the lack of materials is for sure something we need to pay attention to, saving resources by optimizing processes and finding alternatives to current practices are the leads to follow. 


    Adding to that, the recycling issue of any material. Some need to get rid of initial chemicals, others are simply not the easiest to recycle, but that’s what Rudolf is here for: think about process and develop new practices compatible with the current stakes. 


    In this episode, Alberto also gives us a highlight on chemical denim process alternatives, and his thoughts about democratized fashion.

  • #42 - Sylvie Chailloux, Présidente de l’Union Française des Industries Mode & Habillement - UFIMH - (Organisation professionnelle)

    Pour les 20 ans du salon Made in France de Première Vision, Smart Creation s’intéresse aux enjeux économiques pour une mode durable et désirable avec Sylvie Chailloux, dirigeante de Textile du Maine et présidente de l’Union Française des Industries de la Mode et de l’Habillement. 

     

    L’UFIMH est une organisation professionnelle nationale représentant les métiers de l’habillement. Sylvie Chailloux souhaite engager à travers son rôle de présidente un réel changement des mentalités au sein du secteur textile. Car pour elle, tous les acteurs ont un pouvoir d’action sur la mode responsable : designers, acheteurs, fabricants, marques et consommateurs, cet épisode vous concerne !

     

    La réindustrialisation est le point majeur ayant un impact sur le marché du travail et la consommation puisque aujourd’hui, la fabrication française représente 450 entreprises et 11 000 emplois en France.  Convaincue que le Made in France ne coûte pas plus cher, il serait en plus un moyen de redonner du sens à l’achat et de la valeur au produit. Réindustrialiser, investir et innover en s’accompagnant des avancées technologiques, voilà ce qui valorisera de nouveau la filière textile en France.

     

    Dans cet épisode, Sylvie nous partage ses convictions sur la relocalisation, les chiffres clés du Made in France et des exemples de systèmes de production alternatifs basés sur les données.

    0:55 : Sylvie se présente

    3:05 : Pourquoi elle a entrepris aussi jeune dans ce secteur ?

    4:10 : Les 5 grands chantiers

    5:10 : L’activité de Textile du Maine

    6:30 : L’UFIMH

    8:00 : Les enjeux

    9:10 : Sa définition de la mode responsable

    10:15 : Les actions de l’UFIMH

    11:45 : Fabriquer en France est-il plus responsable ?

    17:45 : Réindustrialiser la France, le prochain défi ?

    26:33 : Le changement d’état d’esprit auprès des acteurs du secteur

    28:10 : Comment faire consommer moins mais mieux ?

    31:40 : Comment rendre attractif ce métier ?

    36:18 : La fabrication à la demande

    36:28 : Exemples d’innovation

    40:00 : Pourquoi Sylvie est optimiste ?

    41:15 : Ses conseils pour les jeunes entrepreneur.e.s

    42:25 : À quoi elle veut mettre un terme dans l’industrie ?

    42:48 : Ce qu’elle regarde pour s’inspirer 

    43:28 : Le coût de demain

    44:27 : Son dernier achat

    45:10 : Qui elle souhaiterait entendre sur ce podcast ?

     

     

     

    KEY LEARNINGS

     

    « Le Made in France n'est pas si cher, mais nos acheteurs ne sont pas prêts. Aujourd’hui, ils sont rémunérés sur le principe suivant : plus ils achètent bas, mieux ils sont rémunérés. Tant que les dirigeants des entreprises ne réformeront pas leur fonctionnement interne, on aura du mal. »

     

    « Le fait d’être cheffe d’entreprise me permet de définir une stratégie et de la défendre pour continuer à avancer chaque jour. »

     

    « Si chaque français consommait 80g de textile français, soit l’équivalent d’une paire de chaussettes, cela générerait 4 000 emplois. »

     

    « L’industrie, c’est investir, former et embaucher. »

    #40 Livia Firth, Co-founder and Creative Director of Eco-Age


    What has been your turning point that made you change your vision of sustainability ? For Livia Firth, it was in 2008 when she went to Bangladesh and saw the backside of fashion. In the meantime, she co-founded Eco-Age, a creative agency that integrates both environmental and social justice. Working along with brands, NGO’s, governments and stakeholders at large, the agency is defining strategies that drive inner changes. Livia is shaping new ways to have a positive and significant impact within the supply chain, through the right material choices with labeling and honest communication avoiding greenwashing. She is convinced that scientific data is a necessary knowledge to take into account for the fashion industry. From a maker and consumer perspective, she’s aiming to redefine the  production as well as the consumption systems by asking the right questions. 


    In this episode, Livia is giving many solutions that encourage tangible action towards a more sustainable industry driven by innovation, creativity and activism.

    « We're encountering a major problem, it’s that at least half of cellulosic fiber is still not certified. So we don't really know where they're coming from. That could be coming from areas from deforestation or human rights violations. And so leaving these forests unprotected and vulnerable is a major issue. »

  • #37 Sylvie Bénard, President of Paris Good Fashion (Organisation) and Founder of La Dame à la Licorne (Consulting Agency)

    This week we’re meeting with Sylvie Bénard, the president of the organisation Paris Good Fashion and the founder of the consulting agency La Dame à la Licorne.

     

    We can consider her as one of the pioneers of sustainability in the fashion and luxury industry. With a scientific background, she is at the genesis of the environmental department in the LVMH Group. 

     

    After two decades of consolidating an international community around the sustainable topic, she kept that same energy to commit into a different project. Paris Good Fashion encourages a systemic change within the fashion industry. Federating a community of leading actors at many scales, whether they are luxury groups, retailers, fashion schools or brands, the organisation develops working groups and tools focused on concrete actions.

     

    In this episode, Sylvie explains her dedication from day one regarding those topics, why she still believes in a sustainable transition and what actions can be done to work in that way.

    « It is difficult to make decisions because we are in a world constantly changing. Since the perfect product does not exist, you have to make the best decisions in complete awareness of the information we have today. »

     

    « Making beautiful and sustainable products means bringing together all the actors of the supply chain, not only the designers. »

     

    « The next step is to train and form the customer. »

     

    « We strongly believe it is only by working together that we will bring a real systemic change. »

  • #36 Pascal Monfort, Fondateur de REC (Cabinet de conseil et d’étude)

    Cette semaine, Smart Creation vous emmène à la rencontre de Pascal Monfort. 

    Fondateur du cabinet de conseil Rec, il accompagne de nombreuses marques à comprendre l’époque et ses mutations. Son territoire d’expertise se concentre notamment sur le sport, un univers qu’il associe de pair avec l’industrie de la mode et ses problématiques. 

     

    Si la RSE est un sujet inévitable à traiter pour ces marques, elle reste néanmoins complexe à appréhender. D’un côté, il y a ceux qui ont inclus la question dès la genèse de la marque et qui en ont fait leur succès. Pour d’autres, le problème se pose différemment avec des actions basées sur des décisions marketing. 

     

    Chez Rec, Pascal prône une communication authentique et des mesures d’action concrètes à court terme. Un discours réaliste et honnête qui lui vaut une relation de confiance avec ses clients. 

     

    Dans cet épisode, Pascal nous partage son regard analytique sur ces transformations : Comment les marques de sport s’adaptent-elles ? La responsabilité est-elle une tendance vouée à s’épuiser ? Les leaders savent-ils concilier croissance et responsabilité avec audace ? 

     

    SE RETROUVER DANS L’ÉPISODE

     

    0:50 : Pascal se présente

    1:50 : Comment les marques de sport intègrent-elles le sujet de la responsabilité ?

    9:55 : Allier croissance et mesures responsables, une illusion ?

    14:20 : Faire des produits beaux et responsables

    18:35 : Les marques de sport et les problématiques environnementales

    21:15 : Les marques se donnent-elles les moyens d’appliquer leurs mesures ?

  • #35 Daniel Gayle, Founder & Director of DenzilPatrick (Menswear Brand)

    This week we’re meeting with Daniel Gayle, the founder and director of the menswear brand DenzilPatrick. 

     

    The London based designer previously worked for many established brands such as Philip Lim, Kenzo and Victoria Beckham. There he got a real insight of what was managing a business and setting up its creative vision. 

     

    Who thought that launching a brand in those days and standing out was still possible ? Well, Daniel makes it real with his will of expressing his own artistic vocabulary. At the essence of the brand is everything that defines him and what he thought was missing in the fashion industry. Experimenting is at the core of his process. He let himself time to create garments that are relevant for the people that make them as well as for the consumer. Sourcing pre-existing materials and exploring different crafting techniques, a playfulness stands out from the pieces with different colors, fabrics and patterns. 

     

    In this episode, Daniel reveals all his process as a young brand, from his ambition to put creativity and a sustainable business together, sourcing pre-existing materials and engaging a fair approach to garments.
