Debating the importance of highlighting sustainable fashion to celebrities and leading luxury designers, the trio spoke to RITE attendees about some of the challenges they faced since the campaign for awareness had started. Taking questions from the audience, RITE delegates were impressed and amused by some of the sourcing challenges the GCC team faced.
