"I think we need an entire revolution in the fashion industry," says Runa Ray, my first guest of 2025. And she is making it happen—as a designer, activist, and visionary.
Her journey spans the Global Peace Flag Initiative, endorsed by the United Nations and hailed as the largest art movement for peace and climate action, to presenting collections at Monte Carlo Fashion Week, the Grammy Awards, and shaping policy at the World Bank.
Through pioneering innovations like algae-based textiles, zero-stitch techniques, and plant-based dyes, Runa challenges both designers and consumers to rethink their role in the system.
She shares profound insights: witnessing coral graveyards in the Maldives, confronting the staggering waste of the fashion industry, and advocating tirelessly for an integrated ocean system.
Born in India and refined by her work with Dior and Galliano in Paris, Runa has turned couture into a powerful tool for change—blending sustainability, peacebuilding, and innovation to redefine the very purpose of fashion.
Runa is stitching together peace, sustainability, and transformation—one design at a time. Host: Sibylle Barden
