#37 Sylvie Bénard, President of Paris Good Fashion (Organisation) and Founder of La Dame à la Licorne (Consulting Agency‪)‬ Smart Creation

    • Affaires

This week we’re meeting with Sylvie Bénard, the president of the organisation Paris Good Fashion and the founder of the consulting agency La Dame à la Licorne.
 
We can consider her as one of the pioneers of sustainability in the fashion and luxury industry. With a scientific background, she is at the genesis of the environmental department in the LVMH Group. 
 
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.

KEY LEARNINGS
 
« It is difficult to make decisions because we are in a world constantly changing. Since the perfect product does not exist, you have to make the best decisions in complete awareness of the information we have today. »
 
« Making beautiful and sustainable products means bringing together all the actors of the supply chain, not only the designers. »
 
« The next step is to train and form the customer. »
 
« We strongly believe it is only by working together that we will bring a real systemic change. »
