Turning sustainable fashion research into real change - in closets, in policy, in classrooms
With a double PhD in climate ethics and politics, Katia Dayan (Vladimirova) has been in academic research for almost twenty years. Most of this time, her focus was on the topics of sustainable fashion consumption, post-growth fashion futures and fashion policy. We have enough studies to explain what needs to be done to solve the fashion overconsumption crisis but…
The cavalry is not coming. We are the cavalry.
There is a massive gap between what we know and what we do.
Katia’s mission has been to bridge research and action through public speaking, writing and courses for individual behavior change, thought leadership and consulting for systemic policy change, teaching and research, entrepreneurship, and, since recently, through my work as a Deputy Mayor in her local commune Ferney-Voltaire, part of Geneva.
