Puntata: 01. Fashion Connections with Matteo Ward.
Behind the scenes of the fashion system — between style, sustainable production, and emerging new horizons.

In the first episode of the podcast 25 Years of Fashion Connections by Serravalle Designer Outlet, Linkiesta Etc sat down with Matteo Ward — entrepreneur and sustainability advocate, currently CEO of IO Fashion Textiles & Home, a company that supports businesses on their journey toward greater sustainability.

Together with Giuliana Matarrese, Matteo explored the connections between fashion, production, traceability, and sustainability, delving into the past, present, and the new possibilities ahead.

"Words like traceability and transparency were irrelevant to our system just ten years ago. They weren’t even part of the fashion industry's vocabulary. But today, there isn’t a single brand or group in the world that doesn’t feature those words on their website. My goal is to have a global impact — to help fashion reclaim its potential as a pioneer of a more responsible lifestyle."
