Moderated by Rebecca Barker, Event producer, Fast Company
The secondhand fashion market is on pace to grow up to three times faster than the firsthand market through 2027, with nearly 60% of global consumers saying they’re likely to shop resale this year alone. Clearly, what’s old is new again—and creating business opportunities, in kind. Enter Phia: a buzzy addition to the resale market described as "Google Flights for fashion" in that it uses AI to help shoppers find the best price. Join cofounders Phoebe Gates and Sophia Kianni as they discuss the future of retail and how they’re building a mission-driven company around sustainability in the fashion industry.
