Last year, we had a Fireside Chat with Shamini Dhana, CEO of Dhana Inc., where she discussed her journey in sustainability and the circular economy. She explained that the circular model represents a system where products are designed and used in a way that maximizes their value and life cycle, contrasting with the traditional, linear 'take-make-dispose' model.

This insight underpins the urgency and importance of shifting towards circular fashion, emphasizing how each stakeholder in the industry, from designers to consumers, plays a crucial role in fostering a sustainable future.
