"As a fashion brand founder, creative director and woman entrepreneur, I always find myself stuck between helping my world and environment and creating a fashion brand (as business). I tried hard to use the upcycling concept with a preliminary knowledge about it within my high couture brand. I was always afraid to start my fast fashion line before knowing how shall I save the world from my waste and toxic material; knowing that my passion industry is the 3rd most polluting industry in the world. The upcycling course turned my business vision into reality. It helped me to create a solid ground for my fashion business and to be able to be a sustainable brand helping its own world while creating its own identity. Also, it allowed me to understand what’s behind the upcycling concept in terms of business and operations with maximum optimization and deep development. It was a great experience that helped me finalize my Business close circle. Thank you Noor for helping me reach my vision."
