e-clips is an open-access, searchable database of video clips highlighting experiences and advice from entrepreneurs in a variety of industries, including the fashion industry. Cornell University’s Dr. Deb Streeter developed the original concept: to create a “virtual panel” of experts, to be used to stimulate discussion, illustrate concepts, and create a real-world feel in teaching entrepreneurship.
The following clips might be of interest to fashion tutors and students. Please go to the Cornell University website and search to view the following interviews:
Michael Crooke, former CEO of Patagonia (recorded while holding title)
Natalie Chanin, co-founder of Project Alabama and currently Alabama Chanin
Bena Burda, owner and CEO of Maggie’s Organics
Chris Mackin, former CEO of Sweat-X (recorded while holding title)
Carol Young, designer/owner of undesigned by Carol Young
Amy Hall, corporate responsibility director of Eileen Fisher
'e-clips' are described in the pdf attachment to the left, which is taken from Parker, L. and Dickson, M.A. (2009) Sustainable Fashion: A Handbook for Educators, Bristol: Labour Behind the Label. Download the whole publication here.
