When it comes to championing sustainability, take inspiration from the successes of Irene Kusuma Couture and IKV.STUDIO! Irene Kusuma, the founder and designer, has crowd-sourced most of the materials for her collection from friends and family. At IKV and Irene Kusuma Couture, the designer believe in creating sustainable and environmentally responsible products, delivering edgy, high-quality, timeless designs using upcycled materials.

As global supply chains shuttered and much of the world ground to a halt, Irene adapted by sourcing scrap materials wherever she could find them. This resourceful approach highlights her commitment to sustainability and innovation in fashion.
