Riddle me this: What if all of our clothes were made from seaweed?
This week we sit down with two phenomenal women who are changing the fashion industry from the inside out. Keel Labs was founded by fashion industry alumni Tessa Callaghan and Aleksandra Gosiewski. They’re two business partners who met at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and founded Keel Labs to create ocean based solutions, including their flagship product which is a kelp based yarn.
Here's a breakdown of some of the highlights:
