It is very trendy now and relevant to be mindful of the word "sustainability". Companies use it left and right (Us too) because that's what the audience wants to hear. I sometimes resent it. How do I know that my designers are environmentally conscious when producing their clothes? And what does it really mean when Zara and H&M use the word "organic" when producing their massive amounts of fast fashion; tossed out as quickly as it's purchased? What happens to the excess items?

That made me think deeper: The worst was experiencing the horrific noise from the Hudson Yards construction that was next door to our show which created a lot of discomfort and frustration, more than I can describe to those who weren't there.
