When we think of soy, we often think of candles or an alternative to milk, but what about the role the crop plays in the business of fashion and beauty? In the US, soy is second only to corn in crop size, and it's playing a significant role in transforming many industries.
My guest today is Carla Schultz. She's a soy farmer from Michigan and a United Soybean Board Director, and she's here to tell us all about the links between soy, fashion, beauty, and beyond.

Biotechnology is an exciting frontier in fashion and beauty because it presents a new way forward. Most products on the market today rely on extraction for their ingredients, whether that's from plants, animals, or petrochemicals. Each of these options has a footprint. With biotechnology, there's the opportunity to create new sustainable supply chains with new levels of performance for consumers.
Today on the show I'm speaking with a scientist and creative who is inspired by biology and biotechnology to create advanced, sustainable innovations for wellness and beauty. Alison Cutlan is the VP of Innovation at The Rootist, a new biology-based haircare brand that's changing the game when it comes to haircare by treating the hair like the living organism it is.
Full disclosure: The Rootist did send me a free sample of their haircare kit as a basis for this conversation. This episode is not sponsored, but as you'll hear, I ended up really loving the products as well as the ethos behind the biology-based brand.
Our conversation covers the products under the Rootist haircare system, what makes them different, and how biotechnology is the new design tool of the future.

From leather grown from mushrooms to sequins made from plants, biomaterials is an exciting area of innovation that is projected to reach almost $50 billion by 2025. Briefly put, biomaterials combine science and technology to engineer new ways of producing materials. Biomaterials are rapidly gaining popularity with brands and consumers alike due to their ability to address the fashion industry’s urgent environmental and ethical challenges.
Our guest today is Laura Hayes. She’s the Senior Brand Partnerships Manager at Keep Labs, a company that describes itself as a platform for innovation. They believe the ocean has the potential to accelerate our planet’s development to a more sustainable future. The company’s flagship product, Kelsun fiber, has a significantly lower environmental footprint than conventional fibers.

Today's podcast features a conversation with Balanda Atis, a L'Oréal chemist, and their Chief Scientific Communications Officer.

Advancements in science have opened up new possibilities for fashion manufacturing. One promising application of biotechnology in the textile industry is the development of lab-grown or "cultured" materials such as leather and silk. These materials are created by growing cells in a lab, without the need for animal agriculture or the use of harmful chemicals. By doing so, they offer a more sustainable alternative to traditional textile production methods, which often have significant environmental impacts. And, if you can grow proteins for making alternative leather, turns out there's other use cases too, including producing collagen for beauty products and supplements.
Our guest today in this episode is Catherine Roggero-Lovisi, the CEO of Modern Meadow, a company that is revolutionizing the fashion industry by creating sustainable, biofabricated materials. With Modern Meadow’s drop-in green technology platforms, companies in the textiles, materials, and personal care industries no longer have to compromise between sustainability and performance. At a time when greenwashing is at its peak, Modern Meadow is making a difference, and they have the data to prove it.Electric Runway Links:

When we think of smart fabrics, we often think of fabrics with sensors inside them meant to monitor our body's activity or temperature, but not all innovations in fabrication are digital. In fact, most of the time they're chemical. Today's guest on the Electric Runway Podcast is Fi Paziana, a Milan-based ex-investment banker-turned fashion designer who is launching her debut collection featuring a patented, lab-verified smart fabric. This fabric acts as a filter, protecting the sun from harmful UV rays while still allowing UVB rays through in order for the body to produce Vitamin D. This fabric is a breakthrough when you consider that one billion people worldwide suffer from a deficiency of Vitamin D. Fi is on a mission via social media, with her 2.5 million views on TikTok, to help correct it, starting in the realm of modest fashion.

By now, we're all a little weary of talking about digital fashion, and the trend has certainly seen its peak in the hype cycle of emerging technology. By digital fashion, we're talking about fashion that exists only digitally and not physically, and is meant to be worn on social media, on platforms like Zoom, and inside games.
Our guest today is Amber Jae Slooten, the co-founder and creative director of the Fabricant. The Fabricant is a fashion studio that collaborates with brands and communities to design digital-only items that can be worn on avatars and in augmented reality.
If The Fabricant sounds familiar that's because we had Kerry Murphy, the company's founder and CEO, on the show, on back in 2021 at the peak of the digital fashion and NFT hype cycle. Our conversation with Amber touches on where the market is today and how The Fabricant is engaging with brands and consumers to build a lasting business model for digital wearables. We connect on their new project, Wholeland, how their business model differs from competitors like DressX, and how AI will play a role in scaling digital fashion.

During the pandemic, retailers and brands had to transition quickly to digital to continue to do business, and the fashion industry was no exception. A number of brands like Puma and retailers like Selfridges experimented with virtual showrooms—which are defined by Shopify as:
an innovative solution that lets brands and retail buyers engage and sell products through an online platform. It replaces physical showrooms and trade shows, eliminating the need for a physical location and physical samples to show new collections.
It's important to note that virtual showrooms aren't just about virtual reality, they're also changing the eCommerce and online shopping experience. Here to talk more about it is Olga Dogadkina, she's the founder and CEO of Emperia VR, a company that's bringing the qualities of online gaming to shopping. In today's episode, we'll talk about what it's like to build online spaces for fashion, and she'll tell us more about her company's recent $10 million raise.

If you’ve been following fashion innovation for the past year, it seems you can’t open up Instagram or read an article without hearing about The Dematerialised. And probably for good reason.
The brand is on a mission to create a new reality for fashion through experimentational collaborations and campaigns involving digital lifestyle assets, including digital outfits, accessories and footwear.
Recently, the company teamed up with contemporary designer Rebecca Minkoff to offer a number of fashion NFTs. They also partnered with Twig, a FinTech platform and Certified B Corporation to allow people to exchange fashion goods for credits that can be used to shop digital assets.
Our guest in this episode is Adriana Goldenberg, the head of Growth and Metaverse Partnerships for The Dematerialized. Our conversation touches on some of the brand's recent activations that make up the gray space between digital and physical.

They say that necessity is the mother of invention, which may explain why a crop of emerging fashion designers who were just starting out at the onset of the pandemic were able to innovate the way they reach their community in a Web 3 environment.
My guest today says that her brand is not about the clothes, but that the clothes are an entry point into the brand, which is all about harnessing the imagination. Other entry points include augmented reality filters, digital wearables, and collectables that share the same aesthetic sensibility.
Anya Ayoung-Chee is the founder and director of WYLD FLWR, a festival fashion apparel brand inspired by carnival culture and burning man. Anya is also the winner of Project Runway Season 9, as well as a former Miss Universe representing Trinidad and Tobago, so someone who is no stranger to entertainment.
Our conversation takes you through how she entered the world of NFTs and crypto out of necessity after WYLD FLWR’s launch was overshadowed by COVID-19. Anya also shares how she’s bringing her community together through a shared vision of global women’s empowerment through fashion.

There is no shortage of software trying to serve the fashion industry, but few products really understand the industry itself. A crop of startups throughout the world are all trying to solve the problem of fit when it comes to shopping for apparel. If you’re a regular listener to this podcast, you know the challenge of fit is something we’ve talked about again and again and will likely continue to talk about until one company dominates this category.
Fit matching tools—that is, tools that help shoppers find their size in apparel items when shopping in-store or online—vary in their approach, but they have one thing in common; they’re all jockeying to become the standard for shopping.My guest on the show today is Haniff Brown. He’s the Founder and CEO of FIT:MATCH, a startup that uses machine learning technology to eliminate friction in the shopping experience for hard-to-fit categories like intimates and swimwear. As you’ll hear in our conversation, they’ve caught the attention of business billionaire Rihanna, and the brand has since launched in Savage Fenty stores across the USA and are planning on rolling out the experience online.

Here’s a question for apparel retailers: how do you close more sales with shoppers and ensure they don’t return the items they purchase from your store? Answer: make sure they’re happy with the experience and the product they ended up with. For a long time, an easy way luxury department stores and some high-end retailers ensured customer satisfaction was by offering free tailoring. But with more people shopping at different locations and even shopping online, how can tailoring be optimized for the modern world? Enter Hemster, a tailoring business that merges style and science to bring traditional customization to today’s consumers. They work with apparel retailers who sell in-store and online to capture and store a customer’s perfect measurements and ensure that customer is always ordering the right size and receiving an item that’s made to fit them. Our guest today is Allison Lee, the CEO & Founder of Hemster. In today’s episode, you’ll learn how her B2B2C business ends up creating a better experience for the end-user of the apparel product, i.e. customers like me, by providing the last mile of customization-as-a-service. It’s an interesting business model, which makes for an interesting conversation.

The metaverse continues to present narratives of transcendence, where people can be whoever they want to be despite their physical limitations. But as we continue to build the internet of tomorrow, it’s important to pause and ask, who is being afforded these narratives of transcendence, and who isn’t? And perhaps more importantly when it comes to disability, how can we incorporate disability instead of trying to ascend it?
My guest today is Natalie Trevonne, a disability advocate and consultant for media and fashion. She shares her story of blindness and blackness, and what the fashion industry needs to know about accessibility. Natalie designed a dress for the upcoming Metaverse Fashion Week, which will take place this week in Decentraland.
So how exactly does a blind person design a dress? Tune in to find out.

We've been hearing about 3D in digital fashion, in creating the metaverse, and even in augmented reality. 3D is defined as photorealistic representations of real-world objects that can be used for a variety of purposes, including retailing, merchandising, assisting sales, and of course entering the metaverse. According to Shopify, merchants who add 3D content to their online stores see a 94% conversion lift, on average.
Our guest today is Lode Groosman, the co-founder of Threedium. Threedium is the fastest and most affordable way to create high-quality 3D assets. We’re going to get into the different use-cases and opportunities in just a moment. But for those of you who have been listening, you may have heard of Threedium because they're our new sponsor for the podcast.
