#48 Augustin Firino Martell, Fashion & Luxury Traceability and CSR Manager - Crystalchain (Traceability platform)
Smart Creation
09/10/22 • 47 min
The data era might have its perks to operate a sustainable transition, especially in the fashion and luxury industries.
At the core of Crystalchain’s activity, information and technology are used in order to drive actions towards a more transparent system. Traceability and CSR manager of the company Augustin Firino Martell opens today’s talk on how to implement blockchain for traceable and transparent solutions. Collecting information from the field to the final product, he’s helping brands and all the actors of the industry to settle a trustworthy system with reliable sources. Criteria such as the environment, animal welfare, social criteria and supply chain are all taken into account to constitute a proof of sustainability for its product, and thus certify an ethical commitment. But this system won’t be possible without the supply chain actors. That is why Augustin is encouraging cooperation and strongly aims to onboard suppliers as changes also come when it’s done in a collective way.
In this episode, Augustin explains how we can identify the issue we want to improve and monitor. We also speak about ESG laws and how governments are acting for this transition.

“You need cooperation with the actors if you want to be quickly successful.”

Based in Amsterdam, Tony launched his own sustainable denim brand after working several years in denim companies. When he started in 2011, sustainability was not a hot topic at the time, but as a pioneer, he challenged himself to conciliate both good quality products and innovation. By choosing only organic or recycled materials, he’s made circularity and social fairness his top priorities.
Doing less is doing better. And that’s totally how he plans the future as he’s aiming to work more on cradle to cradle and to reduce his environmental impact.
Today, he explains to us how he convinced consumers to buy sustainable products through communication and what’s its approach on circular fashion.

They are so many solution to be sustainable. For exemple, it is easy to source trash because it is everywhere.
Going slowly but be sure that everything in your company is according to your values.
The quality is very important, every product created should stay forever if we really want to be sustainable.
People are not patient enough because it will take so much time, we talk about fashion but it is link with so much more than that. It is link to politics, to sociale decision, to the localisation and your market, to the packaging, the way you sheep your clothes and the way you are consuming fashion. The biggest issue is that everything is linked if you change one thing you will affect all the others things.
Less talking, more action. We need to see action.

After two decades of consolidating an international community around the sustainable topic, she kept that same energy to commit into a different project. Paris Good Fashion encourages a systemic change within the fashion industry. Federating a community of leading actors at many scales, whether they are luxury groups, retailers, fashion schools or brands, the organisation develops working groups and tools focused on concrete actions.
In this episode, Sylvie explains her dedication from day one regarding those topics, why she still believes in a sustainable transition and what actions can be done to work in that way.

Like many of his fellows who had a successful career in the fashion industry, Ifeanyi Okwuadi also did his class at Savile Row. The 28 year old fashion designer based in London indeed learned and understood how to make a garment, and by definition, an impeccable one. If quality is his main focus, it’s certainly for him a way to create a piece that sustains through time.
He envisioned his collection through the artisanal gesture and that’s probably what made him stand out of the 36th Hyères Fashion Festival. Winner of the Great Prize in 2021, the menswear designer took into account everything that makes sense to him such as sourcing the right fabrics, using great craftsmanship, but also by including his remarkable tailor skills.
In today’s Smart Creation episode, we talked with Ifeanyi about locality, ambition and sustainability from a design perspective.

Smart Creation

At the essence of our clothes, fibers are the first step towards a sustainable production.
Following the government’s request, Lenzing group has developed for many years fibers made from natural wood in order to reduce water consumption and involve renewable energies. You may already know one of them. Such as Viscose, different fibers have come out using the same process based on cellulosic fibers.
Sylvia Happel, Head of Business Development in the Europe market at Lenzing believes in the idea that what comes from nature, is by definition something that can go back to it. She explores the great potential of those promising fibers through the lens of innovative technologies, business and market wise as well as circularity stakes.
The Austrian company with an international outreach has lately set up new challenges, such as extending circularity to the post-consumer waste use.
In this episode, Sylvia shares all the perks of cellulosic fibers, giving their properties and the certifications that follow. Far from greenwashing, and truly dedicated to what producing consciously means, Lenzing also shows a great example of what political decisions can involve in the fashion industry.
