Kerry Bannigan and Lucie Brigham: Women making a difference is the fashion industry.

The Modern Cotton Story

For this week's podcast, we had a special interview with Kerry Bannigan, Executive Director of The Fashion Impact Fund, and Lucie Brigham, Chief of Office at the United Nations Office for Partnerships. Together Ms. Bannigan and Ms. Brigham have coordinated their efforts to help the global fashion industry to be more sustainable. During our not-to-be-missed interview, we examine a wide range of issues facing today’s textile and apparel industries including the importance of sustainability from both the practical level industry production, supply and distribution, to policy initiatives to help guide the industry to better, more equitable ways of conducting business. Additionally, we discuss their joint initiative at the Conscious Fashion and Lifestyle Network to bring about positive change in the textile and apparel industry around the world and to help the industry to be better stewards of the planet’s environment. Hosted by Jennifer Crumpler, Fiber Development Manager and Manager of the e3 Sustainable Cotton Program from BASF, and interviewed by industry consultant Bob Antoshak.
