Hot Buttons

Using policy and law to hold brands accountable


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re talking about the policies behind sustainable fashion with fashion law expert Betina Baumgarten. Betina’s career has included years as a civil litigation attorney, a fashion stylist, a specialist in fashion law, and now a consultant to companies looking to advance their sustainability goals with real action. She’s also a tireless advocate for policy change in the industry and has authored important journal articles on critical topics in fashion law. 
We cover a lot in this episode, including:
Labeling, and how it can underpin a level of transparency necessary to hold brands accountable to their sustainable claims
The resale market, and how it can be better supported with new regulations and a legal framework to better support a sustainable fashion mission
