This Women’s History Month, the focus is on “Providing Healing, Promoting Hope.” This theme intends to explore the healing and caring contributions of women in years past, as well as the frontline medical workers in the present.

Outside the realm of human health, women are also caring for the world’s well-being today by protecting the environment. In honor of Women’s History Month, Carved in Blue and the Fashion Impact Fund are joining forces to focus on the women making an impact now. Together, we are launching a podcast series on Blue Cast, dubbed “Solutionist,” centered on women driving sustainable innovation and developments in fashion.


“The Solutionist podcast series amplifies the leadership and representation of women entrepreneurs driving social, environmental and economic change in the fashion sector,” said Kerry Bannigan, executive director of Fashion Impact Fund. “Each advancing progress with a variety of solutions that the industry, and wider, can learn from, implement towards effective participation in system change and join for collaborative sector engagement.”

Each of the five Solutionist episodes will focus on one notable woman making a difference, in conversation with Lenzing’s Tricia Carey.  


“The five women in this series come from various aspects of the apparel industry with powerful determination and insight,” said Tricia. “Hearing their incredible stories brings a depth of passion to their work and the communities they support.”
