Lives will be empowered !
So, we will train the women, give them the opportunity to try out their skills & reward the best 3 with an internship as a pilot for their own business.
Circular fashion is relatively new & underway in our industry and I hope this tilts the scale.
Update 1:
♻️Why an Upcycling Program.
After I wrote the ebook “what has fashion got to do with Climate” We got a grant for distribution (100k) but I knew that just distributing this ebook will not create the kind of impact that empowers people! I have been so a lot of programs
I have also read several ebooks and I can tell you that knowledge that you don’t act on is equal to ignorance!
I know is synonymous to have a big idea. It’s just in your head. Action makes the difference.
I decided to do something different, it’s more than a 100k budget but
@instablog9ja If you have to opportunity to graduate with first class, please do. She’s sharing her experience and it’s true for her. The issue here is “not having a plan or clarity after school”. she stands to gain international scholarship, internships, etc but information is power.
@asemota Got to the final round of a pitching program. Didn’t make it, been asking for feedback as this was the 3rd stage, we had 3 days interview with different mentors and we were 20 of us (10 picked & 10 dropped) and mentors email address for days now! No response from organizers.
One Outfit! 4 different ways to wear it! I have wore this set a-least 15x in the last 1 year! This is what circularity implies; Utilize what you have in your wardrobe! Restyle them, switch it up or down! #circulareconomy#sustainablefashion#BarbieTheMovie
Ancient Wisdom has always had it that the men who can manage men manage the men who can manage only tools, and the men who can manage money manage everybody.
That's why the bankers survived the downfall of every empire. From the Medici to the Rothschilds to the Morgans.
@SophieBenson_ Yes, this!! My PhD research is looking at garment mending ecosystems; who is mending in different areas, what structures there are to support that and how they can be improved to increase the practice - the local aspect is important as it makes it convenient and easy to repair
I think we need to stop asking how everything will scale. While we of course need viable, scalable alternatives to eg plastic there is also a compelling case for the establishment of hyper local systems and economies, especially in the case of manufacturing and repair.
It bothers me that some RTW Brands in Nig, copy and paste everything including Care Labels of clothes!
Why does a colored dress label say “Bleaching is allowed”
These are the issues, no thoughts about the care of the items you sell! Today is summer sales, next Ember sales! 🥹
💧♻️ Banning plastic water bottles may seem like a solution, but let's not forget the unintended consequences. It can create global water injustice, limiting access for communities already struggling. Instead, let's focus on sustainable alternatives and equitable solutions for everyone! #WaterJustice #SustainabilityMatters
Fashion production harms our environment!
For every dress made, sold and thrown away! waste is generated, resources wasted and co2 released.
The choices we make as consumers and the practices followed by the fashion industry can significantly impact the environment
Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts.
With the launch of @clozetsaleng Chikere Onyinyechi Breakthrough intends to completely transform the fashion business in order to achieve their mission of reducing the negative effects of fashion waste through the application of technology.

Delving into the world of textile waste and the circular value chain with fellow circular economy stakeholders! 🌍✨ The potential is immense and as a circular fashion startup, I'm committed to driving the development of a sustainable textile waste ecosystem right here in Nigeria
@justingordon212 Fashion waste in Africa, most clothes are never really worn and disposed wrongly, putting pressure on our resources to meet rising demand for clothing
