Pangaia
PANGAIA shows what happens when fashion operates as a materials economy rather than a trend cycle, using bio based, recycled, and regenerative inputs as its core model and simple silhouettes as proof of concept for next generation textiles. Its value sits in the inputs, replacing high impact legacy fabrics with science driven alternatives. The mission is to support well being while minimizing environmental harm, and the strategy is iterative through research, collaboration, and cumulative progress. The remaining challenge is access since early stage materials still carry a premium, and meaningful decarbonization requires scaling low impact textiles beyond luxury, positioning PANGAIA as early infrastructure for a regenerative fashion economy.
