The rise of the circular economy

Ep. 4
•

Fanny Moizant is President and Co-Founder of Vestiaire Collective, the leading global platform for desirable pre-owned fashion - and she is an undisputed pioneer of circularity. Fanny came up with the idea to launch Vestiaire Collective after noticing significant changes in the way that people were consuming fashion: that is, they were buying much, much more, yet wearing and possessing so much less. Vestiaire Collective enables conscious people to celebrate and participate in a sustainable alternative to throw-away fashion and gives those who give a fuck the opportunity to easily join the circular fashion movement every single day.


On this episode of GAF Is The New Black, Fanny and host, Jo Lorenz, talk about the circular economy, excessive linear consumerism and, of course, climate change.
