Refashioning: Designing for circularity
Part of an academic (RMIT) and technical team developing, piloting (with multipole brands within the Country Road Group) and evaluating what will be an open-source circular design guideline for fashion. Based on what works in practice and what needs to work in order to future proof the industry. The project is partly funded by Sustainability Victoria under the Circular Economy Business Innovation Centre.
This image deliberately out of focus! Once the guidelines are finalised and public they will be shared widely.

I absolutely hit the jackpot when I found Julie. Bringing Julie in to run several workshops for us was one of the best things I’ve done this year. She brings a depth of knowledge about sustainability. She is efficient, organised and responsive. More importantly she brings a real warmth, energy and passion to all her interactions and this plants the seeds of change in others. I can only hope to find an excuse to work with her again.

I want to thank Julie for working with us to bring this workshop to life. Julie did a great job delivering on our vision and helping send our Young Water Professionals back out across the state with a greater awareness of the SDGs. Our conversations with Julie are always fruitful and she provides the clarity and feedback loops to get the rubber hitting the road. A rare skill indeed!

Just wanted to say a big thank you for last Friday. We were delighted with the success of our first Climate Action Conference and we have received really positive feedback regarding the engaging day and the quality of speakers we had. Feedback from a student: “She spoke really well and persuasively. I was like glued to what she was saying and I don’t often get that feeling when listening to someone so I knew that it really spoke to me and encouraged me to take action.”

Thank you again for the fabulous job you did facilitating our planning workshop. You really added so much value to our planning discussions and kept the conversations on track and outcome focussed.

Thank you very much for the workshop last night. Anastasia loved it. We think you are outstanding in engaging children with different levels of understanding and inspiring them to learn more.

We appreciated Julie’s contribution and ability to guide us towards a positive outcome. It was a pleasure working with her.
How can you make TayTay concert fashion sustainable?
Harnessing outfit angst for good
“From what I’ve seen, the production of new outfits being marketed as ‘Tay Tay appropriate’ showcases fast fashion at its best which, in reality, is fashion at its worst. ”
