On the back of Earth Day, The Global Climate Change protests and Fashion Revolution Week, this month’s Edit will focus on all things Circular and Sustainable. Here is our compilation of resources and thought provoking articles.

If I had been told in 1999 when I graduated from design school in Paris that 20 years later I would be a futurist, public speaker, writer and teacher, I never would have believed it. All I wanted was to be a fashion designer. But on the sinuous road of life, one opportunity led to another and today I am regularly asked: “how can I become a forecaster?”. I don’t have a straight forward answer for this. But it was my passion for research that helped evolve my career from designer to futurist.

This is a very personal mini-series about my path and it starts with talking about the importance of research in my life and why I teach what I know now.

As a trend forecaster and designer, I see the responsibility we hold in informing our clients. Season after season. Collection after collection. With more and more raw materials, resources extracted from the planet. I have chosen to focus on relationships that breed more awareness around sustainability and push an urgent agenda.

But above good will, we must change the system.
