Meet our brilliant #indexaward2023 nomination of the week: RETURN TO SENDER, a stunning garment collection by Ugandan Studio @buzigahill. The studio creates the pieces from discarded clothes from the Global North, and after giving them a new life, sends them back to be sold.

I’m pleased to announce that I’ll be speaking at @GFAgenda ‘s event, Global Fashion Summit: Copenhagen Edition 2022, the leading international forum for sustainability in fashion.
