Join us for two exciting nights at the INDIGENOUS sustainable fashion store!
In conversation with Co-founder and CEO Scott Leonard, local ethical fashion brand INDIGENOUS will feature trailblazers in sustainable design. Help us grow local awareness and encourage dialogue about the way clothes are made, and the positive impact our choices can make in the lives of real people and on the environment. Topics will include regenerative systems; the lifecycle of clothing; alternatives to overconsumption; the benefits of natural and organic clothing; and the downfalls of synthetics.
FIRST EVENT | Wednesday, September 12th at 5 PM
Featured Speaker: Annie Gullingsrud

Annie is an independent consultant, circular strategist, fashion designer and author. As a founder of Design for Allkind, Annie is advancing Circular Fashion as a concept that could ensure the future of our planet and all livings things. This systems-led approach supports the development of safe, sustainable materials, clean production and energy, fair labor and continuous material loops through reuse, refurbishing, and recycling back to virgin quality materials that go into new fashion. Her recent book is a THE textbook on sustainable fashion design, and we will be discussing best practices, innovations, and how consumers and designers can make a difference.
