Andie Halas is one of the unsung heroes of the fashion industry. With fashion waste continuing to be a massive issue worldwide, Andie saw the potential in giving unsold clothing that would normally end up in landfill to people in need – providing the most ethical solution to fashion excess.

Just over a decade ago she set up Thread Together to make that happen in Australia, giving those in need the dignity and choice to get on with their lives by giving them access to new clothing.

Fast forward to today, and more than 1,000 partners have come on board, to date repurposing 5.6 million pieces of clothing waste to the men and women who need it most. More than one million items were distributed in 2022 alone.
