About the Event Organziers

​Rethink the Runway is a community-powered platform that connects and amplifies advocates, designers, brands, and consumers to accelerate the shift toward circular, climate-positive fashion. Through education, storytelling, and grassroots initiatives, we champion resource stewardship, material repurposing, and conscious design. Rooted in the San Francisco Bay Area but with global reach, we demonstrate that sustainable fashion transformation starts with local communities and scales globally.

Oakland Style Lab is a sustainable fashion incubator building a more inclusive and robust fashion ecosystem in the Bay Area. We offer educational fashion programing, mixers, and host events that are rooting in sustainability, racial, and gender justice. We envision a future where fashion is a force for collective care, cultural resilience, and ecological balance—rooted in justice, driven by community, and powered by imagination.
