'GCNYC\'s Consumption & the Common Good Series: The Center for Social Impact and Innovation brought together industry innovators to discuss redefining and recontextualizing fashion consumption as a business opportunity to reduce the negative impacts of the fashion industry. We had Jen Wang, Ph.D., Senior Director of Product at thredUP, and Cynthia Power, VP of Business Success at Recurate, as panelists and Nancy Rhodes, founder of Alternew and GCNYC alumna as moderator. What can we learn from the experiences of these companies? How might we view the destructive legacy of overconsumption as an opportunity to leverage an authentic commitment to sustainability as a strategy for differentiation in a crowded fashion market? What challenges persist and what innovations might be necessary?
