=3D0_-895db2d699-%5BLIST_EMAIL_ID%5D&mc_cid=3D895db2d699&mc_eid=3DUNIQID
For Olivia Rubin=2C sustainability isn=E2=80=99t just a buzzword=E2=80=94i=
t=E2=80=99s a core part of what they do.
Olivia has made her commitment to responsible fashion as bold as her state=
ment pieces.
Here=E2=80=99s how she and her team are slowing down:
Pre-Order Scheme: No more stockpiling or waste! Olivia Rubin produces each=
collection based on real-time demand. With inclusive sizing=2C every piec=
e is made with purpose=2C meaning nothing is left unsold or discarded.
Small=2C Slow Collections: In a world of fast fashion driven by rapidly ch=
anging trends=2C Olivia Rubin takes a different approach. By slowing thing=
s down=2C they pour time into researching=2C designing=2C and producing on=
ly the best=2C to be worn again and again=2C year after year.
Recycling in Studio: The London team has a full recycling setup in place=
=2C from office to studio=2C ensuring they reduce their impact wherever po=
ssible.
Sustainable Packaging: Think all the colours of the rainbow=E2=80=94but ma=
ke it green! Olivia Rubin=E2=80=99s iconic pink boxes=2C tissue paper=2C a=
nd return forms are 100% recyclable=2C ensuring you can look good while fe=
eling good about your impact.
Plastics Reduction: The team recognises the damage single-use plastics cau=
se=2C so they=E2=80=99re cutting it from their processes. Whether it=E2=80=
=99s in the studio or the supply chain=2C they=E2=80=99re committed to sla=
shing plastic use wherever they can.
Factories: Olivia Rubin works only with factories that share their values=
=E2=80=94fair pay=2C safe working conditions=2C and transparency are non-n=
egotiable. They=E2=80=99ve built strong=2C ethical relationships with thei=
r production partners=2C with everything done nearby to minimise carbon fo=
otprints.
Sustainable Materials: Source materials come from sustainable=2C recycled=
and low-impact suppliers.
With her "Rent a Rainbow" scheme=2C Olivia is further championing responsi=
ble fashion=2C giving customers 7 days to enjoy one of her signature piece=
s=2C making it more accessible to enjoy her clothes whilst minimising wast=
e and extending the life of her designs without compromising on colour=2C=
fun and bold designs. =F0=9F=8C=88
=E2=99=BB=EF=B8=8F This circular fashion model means that items are instea=
d being re-used instead of hanging in the back of someone's wardrobe achin=
g to be worn.
Plus=2C at the end of their (very long) lives=2C with most of her clothes=
being biodegradable and compostable=2C they won't end up in landfill.
Next week=2C Olivia will take to our Changemaker stage for a fireside chat=
with host Natalie Pearce - and you're invited to join in person for free.
Grab your free ticket now=2C please note this event is first come first se=
rved.
