We’re joined by Kaye Carmichael, luxury fashion consultant and former Global Head of Marketing at NET-A-PORTER, for a conversation that unpacks the tension, transformation, and potential of sustainability in the luxury space.
With a CV that spans Harrods, Mulberry, Chanel, Michael Kors, Bicester, and Walpole, Kaye brings first-hand insight into how luxury brands can drive real change—from circularity and technology to community-building and supply chain transparency.
This episode covers:
– Circular fashion and how it reshapes brand value
– Why ‘greenhushing’ is now more common than greenwashing
– How AI and tech are speeding up solutions in sustainable fashion
– Whether pre-loved fashion risks brand dilution—or deepens brand meaning
– What’s next for YNAP, and the luxury consumer’s evolving expectations
What does luxury look like when sustainability is the new exclusivity?
Can ethical practice also be good business?
And how are wealthy consumers influencing each other more than ever before?
