Since launching her eponymous line, sustainability-focused designer Olivia Rubens has been able to count numerous accomplishments on her CV including last year’s win at the International Talent Support competition in the Responsible Fashion award category. Rubens also recently joined the ranks of Reture, an e-comm platform that connects fashion creatives with consumers looking to give new life to old garments and accessories. In addition to crafting upcycled pieces to sell on the site, Rubens can also be tapped to update pieces from your closet, should you be so inclined.

In advance of the workshop, we caught up with Rubens to learn more about her creative process and why she’s passionate about sustainable design.

As the sustainability movement continues to gain momentum, one thing s become abundantly clear: There are hundreds of different ways to join the charge. Rather than looking at the mandate to design responsibly as a limitation, the next generation of fashion designers are using those constraints to fuel even greater creativity.
