AFO Collective is a content generator, speaker series and partner consultancy offering creative solutions for a healthy, globally oriented fashion industry. Individually, each company in the collective has vast experience in elevating brand and product lifecycles. Angora Group identifies and solves complex issues in product design, development, production, and global allocation. The company guides and supports both established brands and startups in all areas of design and production, all the way through completed product. Futuremade Group is a brand integrity and sustainable-innovation agency developing responsible business strategies and sustainability solutions to increase brand value and accelerate growth, using the triple-bottom line approach: people, planet, and profit. Optimyze provides strategic and tactical guidance to coordinate people, processes, technology, and business strategy thoughtfully across the product lifecycle to advance nimble, innovative, and highly competitive fashion companies. Together, our companies—with over three decades of experience—offer three unique perspectives on current challenges plaguing the fashion industry and brainstorm alternative solutions to modernize the industry. While our individual approaches may vary, we strongly believe, and find it imperative, that every fashion company must continuously improve on its fundamentals regardless of size or maturity.
