Experience
The Culture Cabinet
Founder & CEO
- Globally, the industry is valued at $3 trillion.
- It employs over 57 million workers in developing countries, 80 percent of whom are women.
- It helps the outcasts of this world, people who don't fit in one box, to express their individuality. Fashion matters. But fashion also has its dark side. Toxic workplaces, low salaries and no recognition, lack of representation, exploitation of garment workers, and environmental damage remain issues that the industry must do more to address and resolve. And we believe that this magical and powerful industry has the potential to initiate significant positive change. Fashion always starts with one idea spreading the 'cool' factor… At The Culture Cabinet, fashion brands that undertake their journey to become kind, respectful and empathetic organizations are the new cool. We support you on this journey by:
- Bringing human-centered workplace and social innovation to the forefront of your organization
- Coaching your fashion people to own their strengths and empower them to foster a purposeful, kind, and sustainable workplace
- Raising awareness of fashion social challenges and engaging your people in the sustainable development goals. For more information about our services, please contact [email protected], or visit my website: www.theculturecabinet.com (under maintenance)
