A fashion industry insider for the past 20 years, Kristy Caylor has taken it upon herself to be a pivotal force for sustainable change. After years growing businesses and brands for Gap Inc., such as Banana Republic Petites and Banana Republic Japan, Caylor founded Maiyet, the first mission-driven luxury fashion brand to be a competitor on the global scale, featuring sustainable and artisanal pieces from remote areas around the world. Soon after, she founded For Days, a brand with the ambitious objective of transforming the fashion industry into a circular economy—through refurbishment, reuse, and remanufacturing. Unlike many other major figures in fashion, Caylor works to address the need for new clothing without creating landfill waste or costing the environment.
As a longtime sustainability innovator and visionary, Caylor has been profiled for her work in global publications including Vogue, the New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal, to name a few. She is also a member of the Council for Fashion Designers of America and the World Economic Forum’s Global Future Council on Consumerism. Though she’s already had a marked impact on the fashion industry, Caylor continues to work tirelessly towards a sustainable future.
