I talk with Shannon Lohr, the founder of Factory 45, about sustainability in fashion. She shares how she detoxed herself from fast fashion, and how starting her own brand led her to discover the environmental and human rights abuses of the fashion industry. Plus we discuss how I’ve quietly and slowly incorporated sustainability into the Impact Fashion collection. Shannon Lohr is the founder of Factory45, the online business school trusted by over 500 fashion entrepreneurs since 2014. Over the years she's worked with aspiring designers, all over the globe, to launch or grow their brands in a way that’s better for people and planet.
