🌐 The Future of “New” Luxury: From Remake to a Circular Textiles Economy
Why consumer demand, AI, regulation and new business models are creating the next opportunity in fashion
What if the next era of luxury isn't defined by making more but by creating more value from what already exists?
Join Shamini Dhana, Founder & CEO of Dhana Inc. and creator of D/Sphere, and Eileen Mockus, fashion industry executive and former CEO of Coyuchi, for an investor and industry-focused conversation exploring why circular textiles are moving from a sustainability initiative toward a significant economic, technology and innovation opportunity.
Brands including Coachtopia, Eileen Fisher Renew and The North Face are already demonstrating how remake, renewal and extended product life can become part of a brand and consumer proposition. Yet much of the work required to identify existing materials, understand their potential, redesign them and bring them back to market remains fragmented, labor-intensive and highly manual.
That gap is the opportunity.
Shamini and Eileen will examine the convergence of consumer behavior, rising material costs, regulation, textile waste and advances in AI and how these forces could fundamentally change how fashion creates and defines value.
The conversation will introduce D/Sphere by Dhana, an intelligent platform being built to help transform existing textiles and their data into inputs for new design, production and commerce. By combining material intelligence, design, AI, storytelling and circular workflows, D/Sphere seeks to make reuse, remake, customization and remanufacturing easier to discover, design and ultimately scale.
