REFASHIOND OS (rOS) — A Boutique Consultancy Specializing in Leveraging Emerging Innovations to Drive Agile & Resilient Apparel Demand Chains

The story of how the United States went from producing 95% of the clothing it purchases in 1960, to the 2% level of today, is core to the unfolding opportunity of localized apparel supply chains. The U.S. market presents a huge opportunity to systemically refashion apparel supply chains to localized demand chains, for the benefit of our planet, leveraging existing U.S.-based apparel textile mills, manufacturing, and best of breed emerging advanced supply chain technologies.

The fashion industry’s complex web of global supply and production has enabled consumer benefits in choice, cost, and convenience, but at the peril of the challenges inherent to globalized supply chains, including; overproduction, opacity, risk, environmental damage and unsustainable resource consumption that is not tenable for population growth projections. 

It’s time for a NEW PARADIGM of localized DEMAND CHAINS that operate and mature in the country responsible for the largest consumption of fast-fashion, producing 4 times the textile waste than any other country, and that has pulled out from the Paris Agreement on Climate Change — the U.S.A.

Companies must invest in their own supply chain paradigm shifts today because the innovations that will allow humanity to exist on our planet in the future didn’t exist even 5 years ago. The early stage companies that are launching today will define our collective futures.

REFASHIOND OS has been preparing for this NEW PARADIGM for years. Join us.

Startups and innovators are our only hope for course correction by 2030. The future is being built today.
