'Do you know that fashion is the 2nd biggest polluter on our planet? In her talk Boryana Uzunova opens our eyes with some disturbing facts about one of the most influential fields of our time. But more importantly she presents solutions to tackle the problem by creating a circular fashion ecosystem. Learn more about her ambitious goal to redefine the fashion world. She is intelligent, ambitious and young. Recognised as one of the most talented „30 Under 30“ entrepreneurs by Forbes Bulgaria for 2019, Boryana works in the fields of ecology and technology to mitigate the negative impact of the fashion industry - our Planet’s second biggest polluter, through facilitating its transition towards a more conscious and circular model. During her Junior year at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology she creates MorphX - a technology aiming to mitigate the impact of mass fashion production through enabling brands to produce on-demand perfect-fit apparel in a timely and cost-efficient manner. The next step is the Kool and Konscious platform - the biggest marketplace for conscious fashion, while going a step further gathering the most transparent and revolutionary value chain players – from suppliers of circular textiles, to organic colorants, plastic-free packaging, textile afterlife management and more. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx'
