This week’s episode features Rachel Glicksberg (@rachelglicksberg), Women’s Fashion and New Initiatives Lead at The RealReal. We explore Rachel’s fashion journey, the impact of resale on sustainable fashion, and how circular models are redefining the industry 🌍♻️
We talk all about:
Her path into fashion and sustainable initiatives at The RealReal
The evolving resale economy and its role in making fashion more accessible & eco-friendly (primary vs. secondary markets)
The power of storytelling and personal values in shaping the industry ✍️🗣
Her future forecasts for the fashion industry
BONUS Question: I also ask her what her favourite Met Gala looks have been 🌟 💚 This conversation has been one of my favourites, as Rachel and I share an alma mater, Sarah Lawrence College. It feels full circle to celebrate her journey while continuing to showcase women leaders making an impact across creative industries.
