Mindful Fashion
The future of the New Zealand garment production industry is central to the work we are doing with Mindful Fashion New Zealand, an industry collective that Kate co-founded in 2018 to address the challenges the New Zealand clothing and textile industry is facing. Our MFNZ goal is to unite the local industry in a way that hasn’t been done before, to share challenges, problem solve and reverse a shrinking local industry. Mindful Fashion is now at over 50 industry members who have joined in their support of this vision who come from all parts of the supply chain. At MFNZ we have identified that our industry needs crucial investment, it needs a voice to lobby government and it needs training and apprenticeships to grow the workforce and we have projects underway to begin to address these challenges.
