Today, Leekei is behind the mic talking about the opportunities for independent fashion business owners in the current COVID crisis and how they can adapt their business to start preparing the future of the fashion system. These are real challenges at every step of the value chain and it is difficult to see opportunities through all these difficulties. But brands need to rethink the way they have been working and find new ways to adapt to the circumstances. So the biggest opportunity is that the COVID pandemic has accelerated the transformation of the fashion industry. For many years, we’ve been talking about changing the fashion industry because it is too polluting and it supports a system of exploitation that is destroying the planet and that is unequal. Now, the COVID pandemic requires all fashion businesses to work DIFFERENTLY.
