ABOUT SHANNON

With first-hand experience launching a sustainable apparel company, I created Factory45, an accelerator program for Made in the USA. I also write a monthly column for the Ethical Fashion Forum and serve as a board member for Fashion Revolution Day.

FACTORY45

Create the business of your dreams. Here at home. Introducing Factory45: an accelerator program for made in the USA, created for designers, makers & entrepreneurs. Applications are now open until April 28, 2014.

PAST WORK

In 2010, I co-founded {r}evolution apparel, a sustainable clothing company for female travelers and minimalists that was featured in The New York Times, Forbes.com, TheWallStreetJournal.com and Yahoo! News.

THE WHAT & THE WHY

Our shopping habits have created a global crisis: overflowing landfills, toxic rivers, drought and the dependency of exploitative labor. But by coincidence or necessity, the market is starting to change. And the fashion industry is being forced to change with it.
