How Did You Get Here? Featuring Tricia Carey of Lenzing
Tricia Carey is an inspiring woman. Period. Not only does her infectious smile and friendly, approachable nature make her one of the nicest people to be around in the denim world, but her experience, knowledge of our favorite fabric and dedication to making the world a better place through sustainable production is so defined that you’re immediately inspired. Tricia is the kind of person that you can’t imagine having a bad day or being “down,” because she’s just so positive. And it takes that positivity to dedicate your entire working life to your craft.
As director of global business at Lenzing fabrics, Tricia’s impact on making your denim more environmentally friendly and less impactful on our planet, is significant. Ever seen the word “Tencel” on a clothing label? Yeah, that’s Tricia. Through her work at Lenzing, we now have a fibre which is made from the wood pulp of certified sustainable forestry trees and upcycled cotton scraps. Produced using recyclable and earth friendly ingredients, this is real change that is having a positive impact on the fashion world. We wanted to talk to Tricia to hear more about her journey and how she got to where she is today (admission: partly because we hoped we’d glean an ounce of her ambition and positivity for ourselves…).
