E#3 | A circular (r)evolution in the textile industry in Portugal

In this third episode, you will find out how a small brand can influence the local textile industry to change its way of operating - from linear to circular.

Cristiana, founder, and designer at Näz goes through the challenges and opportunities to influence the local textile industry, using design to change people's perception of recycled fabrics while creating a social & economic impact in her local region, in Portugal.

In the episode we talk about:

• how social & environmental impacts are intrinsically connected
• rethinking the fashion industry with a pragmatic and circular mindset
• changing people’s perception on recycled fibres using #design
• influencing partners in the supply chain while creating new business opportunities for the traditional textile industry in Portugal
• the power of humility to learn from others and collaborate

👁Some slow fashion brands like Näz are working hard to change the way our clothes are made and the impact they have on people and our natural environment.

This is another very strong and positive signal for our collective transition towards a circular economy.

Thank you/Merci Cristiana for your authenticity, your passion and for helping all of us imagine the future of fashion!
