Creating Empathy in Circular Fashion, Revive with Teresa Carmona

The Sustainable Fashion Wingman

In this episode, we talk with Teresa Carmona about her journey from working at the UN’s Cop 25 to establishing her circular fashion business Revive.

In our conversation, we delve into Teresa's transition from fashion styling to founding Revive, exploring her motivations and the influence of her work at Cop 25. We also look at the concept of circular fashion and how Revive embodies it through its innovative approach of creating a loving and personal bond with our clothes.

Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, Teresa shares how it shaped Revive's direction, presenting both obstacles and opportunities. We uncover the services Revive provides, including its creative upcycling collections and unique repair service, affectionately dubbed the "Tattoo Shop."

As a solopreneur in the sustainable fashion industry, Teresa discusses the advantages and challenges of running a solo operation, along with her plans to expand Revive and collaborate with more artists in the future.

Beyond Revive, Teresa's involvement with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation offers insight into her broader impact in circular fashion. We explore the challenges brands face in transitioning to circular design and the unique opportunities and obstacles for women in the industry.

Looking ahead, Teresa shares her vision for the future of sustainable fashion and the role she hopes Revive will play in shaping it. Finally, she offers valuable advice to aspiring entrepreneurs looking to start their own service-based sustainable fashion business.
