COULD CHANGE FAST FASHION.

WE COULD CREATE A LINE BASICALLY

ZERO WASTE, USE ENVIRONMENTAL

PRODUCTS, REALLY MAKE THE CAPS

YOU'LL COLLECTION.

AND THAT'S HOW IT ALL STARTED

WHAT IF WE COULD HIRE WOMEN OUT

OF PRISON?

ART CAN BE A FORM OF ACTIVISM.

HISTORICALLY ART THAT'S HOW WE

MAKE CHANGES.

WE TELL STORIES MAKING CHANGE.

>> THINK OF MUKDS, THE ROLES ALL

HAVE PLAYED AS VEHICLES FOR

CHANGE.

>> FASHION IS JUST WEARABLE ART.

SO INSTEAD OF MAKING PEOPLE FEEL

GUILTY.

WHAT IF WE SHOW THEM THIS THING

OUT OF REFUSE.

WE USED PIECE THAT IS WERE GOING

IN A LANDFILL.

INDUSTRY?

BRAZIL WHERE THEY TAKE FISH THAT

THEY'RE PLANNING ON EATING AND

THE SKINS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN

THROWN AWAY THEY'RE NOW MAKING

FISH LEATHER OUT OF.

>> AS SOON AS YOU SAY WASTE I'M

PRODUCING IT'S FABULOUS.

A COMPANY CALLED ROAD 22.

HOPING TO DO AND ALREADY -- THEY

THE OTHER THING WE DID IS I WORK

WITH A NON-PROFIT CALL COOL

EFFECTS I'VE HAD A RELATIONSHIP

WITH THIS FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

THEY'RE A NON-PROFIT THAT HELPS

PEOPLE CARBON OFF OF THAT.

WHEN YOU BUY OUR T-SHIRT YOU

ARE -- PASTOR MONEY BAKED IN IS

YOU'RE CARBON OFFING IT.

WE PICKED THE POO
