A Supportive Space for Next-gen Sustainable Fashion Creatives at The Yard Atelier, with Caroline Herz
In this episode, we dive into the heart of Manchester's fashion scene with Caroline Herz, Co-founder of The Yard Atelier. The Yard Atelier is a community-driven project offering a collaborative space for emerging designers to embark on their sustainable fashion journey.
We explore Caroline's background in the fashion industry, leading to her pivotal realisation of the urgent need for sustainability. This realisation spurred her to establish The Yard Atelier, a haven for budding creatives seeking support and guidance in building responsible fashion businesses.
Caroline sheds light on The Yard's mission, emphasising its commitment to fostering a supportive community and promoting sustainable practices. With a focus on collaboration and shared goals, The Yard Atelier provides a nurturing environment for both established brands and aspiring entrepreneurs.
Despite facing challenges in its inception, including securing support and navigating community involvement, The Yard Atelier officially launched earlier this year, marking a significant contribution in the regeneration of Manchester's Cheetham Hill area.
Looking ahead, Caroline envisions growth for The Yard Atelier while maintaining its core values of sustainability and community engagement. She encourages listeners to explore opportunities for involvement, regardless of their location.
