Sustainable Fibers are crucial in the era where sustainability is the norm, and Tencel part of the Lenzing Group is doing amazing work to lead by example around their sustainable practices. In this episode, I got together with Walter Bridgham responsible for inspiring and educating the home and interior industry about the benefits in the sustainability of Tencel branded Lyocell fibers and also grow Tencel brand recognition to the end consumer through products and customer-facing activities.

When it comes to sustainability, tech is one of the cornerstones and probably the main enabler for scaling business best practices. In this episode, we had the pleasure to talk with Alexandra Zaitseva from presize.ai, a groundbreaking company that automatically creates 3D body models, matches it to product data and user return behavior to guarantee the right sizing across all different brands in their database. A lot of advantages arise for presize clients in their conversion rates, but here at Sustainably In Love we focused on the amazing job the company is doing decreasing returns up to 74% in their portfolio.

They say the children today will shape our tomorrow. If that is the case what impact can the clothes they wear as newborns and toddlers in their education when becoming the future fashion consumers? We took this idea in mind to talk with Janos Pal, co-founder of liilu, one of the most promising and fastest-growing kids labels in Europe. Despite the growth, the brand is a true believer of slow fashion, not only by the continuous bet on 100% organic cotton collections but also by consciously design oversize collections to enable the longevity of each garment, passed sibling from a sibling.

What if instead of mass-production and overstock strategies that inevitably lead to landfills of clothing waste, there was another way? There is one: made to order fashion. While we think of how amazing it would be to transform this idea into a reality, Jess Fleischer, co-founder of the danish fashion-tech brand Son of a Tailor, has already done it and in scale. Made to order custom-fitted garments produced with sustainable fabrics are the core fundamentals of this unique business model that’s re-shaping our approach to the industry.
