Spotlight on Anna Nicholls, Sponsorships Director of Rethink the Runway
Meet Anna Nicholls, our Partnerships Director, who is working to make fashion a bigger part of the climate conversation.
Anna is passionate about fashion’s role in the climate conversation. While fashion is a major contributor to environmental challenges, it’s often overlooked - especially considering that 70% of our clothes are made from plastic-derived materials. She sees an urgent need to rethink the industry’s impact and a huge opportunity to shift toward compostable and circular design.
For Rethink the Runway 2025, Anna is excited to showcase the material innovations that are moving the industry toward a truly circular future. She looks forward to bringing together a community of forward-thinkers who are redefining fashion and seeing how this event sparks new ideas, partnerships, and real action.
Stay tuned as Anna and the RTR team continue highlighting sustainable innovations in fashion!
