In this together; building a fair fashion value chain
June 11, 2020
Meet and connect with Marian von Rappard, founder of Dawn Denim
When Marian started his company and factory in Saigon more than ten years ago, it was for him a matter of course that his employees would be paid fairly and he would seek to source and produce as sustainably as he could. Next to producing for other brands, he also launched his own brand, Dawn Denim.
In the past decades, it has become increasingly clear that fashion procurement-supply systems need to change. A crisis such as we have seen with the corona-pandemic, have shone extra light on the weaknesses of the system.
When the corona-virus struck in February 2020, and markets went into lockdown, Evolution Lab SGN , like many other factories around the world, was hit hard. Rather than giving up on the industry, Marian is looking for ways to do things even better moving forward.
