EP25 - Unf*cking The Fashion Industry with Zoltan Csaki

Welcome to Episode 25 of the Sustainable Ecommerce Podcast!

Show notes: https://sustainable-ecom.com/ep25

Unless you’ve been living in nudist retreat for the past decade, I’m sure you’ll be aware that the fashion industry has a particularly bad rap when it comes to sustainability. 

With fast fashion, rampant over production, synthetics and a whole host of other systemic issues that are literally baked into the supply chain.  In fact, the fashion industry collectively is know as having the second highest carbon footprint, behind Oil & Gas.  

But of course, there are brands out there trying to change all that, and my guest today is an absolute champion for the cause. Zoltan Csaki is CoFounder of Sydney Based fashion brand Citizen Wolf, and their mission, literally stated, is to "Unf*ck the fashion industry"!

As you’ll see they’ve recognised that overproduction is one of the biggest problems with the industry as a whole, and over the past few years have been building out a new model for the industry based on a new take of made-to-order.

But with organic fabrics, carbon positive production, free repairs for life and now a fully circular product lifecycle, they are literally setting the new standard for sustainability in fashion.   

In my opinion, all of this makes them one of the most ground-breaking brands of the last decade, and it was an absolute thrill to chat with Zoltan.
