Smart Creation, the podcast. Episode 10 Le - Première Vision Paris - Denim Première Vision - Première Vision New York
SMART CREATION, the podcast, invites you to explore the potential of sustainable fashion.
For this 10th episode, we have the pleasure to welcome Jeanine Ballone, Managing Director at Fashion 4 Development Solutions.
«You have to know your supply chain, you have to be intimate with it, you have to own it, because that’s what you are responsible for, you could be creative and selling products and opening new eras but the idea that you know where your goods are produced, your water consumption, your chemical consumption… things all the supplier can and would be mandated in the future of the business to supply to you… and transparency and traceability, I believe you are going to trigger the real opportunity for consumers to react to your brand. If you’re not trusted, I don’t believe that consumers will continue to buy in the future.»
