Did you know that King Louis XIV shaped fashion as we know it today? The Sun King didn’t just rule France—he ruled fashion, creating trends, exclusivity, and the foundation of the modern fashion industry's status, branding, and consumption cycle, which still influence us today.
But what if we could change fashion’s future?
Fashion is more than just clothing—it’s a statement, a movement, and a force for change. In this episode, Sid Bensalah interviews Victoria Scholz, a sustainability advocate and ethical fashion expert, to uncover the truth about the fashion industry and its impact on our planet.
From her early days in the industry at 15 to her global experiences in London, Paris, Milan, and Florence, Victoria offers a profound and enlightening perspective on sustainability, inclusivity, and innovation in fashion.
