“Safia Minney is a rare speaker. Playful and mischievous, visionary and innovate, this is the voice of a fashion giant. Having created happiness, security, profitability and independence for her fair trade suppliers, Safia can talk the walk of sustainable fashion retail.

“Safia Minney has spent years pioneering a desperately needed re-shaping of modern day fashion. Her work over the years has served to constantly challenge, inspire and shape a new face of fashion all over the world. Slow Fashion is a beautifully crafted invitation to each of us and all of us to be a part of building the kind of world we wish to live in and leave behind. With great humanity and clarity Safia challenges conventional thinking and opens up the possibility for a better future up ahead.“

“Safia Minney is considered one of the leading social entrepreneurs in Japan and we have invited her to speak to Patagonia staff and customers to introduce her work in creating a sustainable & Fair Trade supply chains. She is fluent in Japanese, and gave a captivating presentation and great exchange with our audience – I think she’s a very warm and engaging person that helps inspire new leaders for tomorrow to change the world.“

“I’m really excited by what Safia has been able to create over the years, whether it’s pioneering Fair trade and organic supply chains or innovative product and retail. She walks the talk and she’s brilliant at inspiring others to follow in her foot steps.“

“Safia arranged press trips to Nepal and Bangladesh for me to meet her Fair Trade partners. It was one of the most impressive experiences in my life. She has strong relationships with the local people and first hand knowledge of development, human rights, environmental issues, production and product design and media – it was great to work together and produce some wonderful documentaries and creature articles for leading Japanese magazines.“

“As founder, CEO and Creative Director of People Tree Safia Minney founded a fashion brand that offers a unique proposition: authentic, producer-centric, fashion of extremely high quality and value for money. Her encyclopaedic knowledge of her supply chains and her relationships within those supply chains give the brand its point of difference in a marketplace crowded with clothing. People Tree is the standout ethical fashion brand of our time because of Safia Minney and because of her guidance at every step. Her understanding of fashion marketing and branding, current trends and relationships with the fashion industry, from Zandra Rhodes to Peter Jensen have given engaged consumers (a growing audience) that rare thing: a credible, fashion-literate brand that brings out collections and supports REAL makers. No other Fair Trade, organic fashion brand has been able to crack this nut. That is no accident, but by Safia’s design, drive and supply-chain intelligence, relationships and vision. I can think of no other sustainable brand where a) the consumer gets so much ethical bang for their buck or b) the journalist/opinion former gets such emersion and a thorough understanding of what ethical fashion is or means as by engaging with Safia Minney.“
