This episode is with sustainable stylist, consultant and expert, Cassandra Dittmer. After witnessing first-hand the increasingly negative impacts the fashion industry has had not only on our environment, but also on its own labor force, Cassandra has made it her mission to align her business practices with her values by leading with transparency, inclusion and community around the work she takes on. She has dedicated her career to immersing herself in eco-conscious practices, products and brands that challenge the way sustainability is defined and has vowed to always consider three key factors when working with any brand/client: the environment, the economics and the ethics. Most recently, Cassandra has been styling Melinda Gates on the Moment of Lift tour and has worked with several high profile clients like Laura Dern, Bebe Rexha, Dwayne Johnson, Bradley Cooper, and Donald Glover among several others throughout her career. On today’s episode we talk about the status of the styling industry as a whole during this pandemic and what her pivot into e-styling has looked like, we get into her career trajectory from working for mega stylist Ilaria Urbanit to starting her own styling business and how she landed the role of a lifetime styling Melinda Gates for The Moment of Lift book tour, on the process of building a portfolio and why building a solid and clear foundation is the most important step in building your own business.
