ethics & sustainability

renew, reuse, recycle

We believe in a more sustainable future of fashion. We want to re-define the way we consume fashion and minimise the industry’s carbon footprint.

We recycle and upcycle preloved clothing and fashion items donated to us, breathing a new life into every piece of garment.

All of our preloved items are de-labelled, as we believe branding is one of the main factors that fuel the growth of fast fashion. Stripping down to the core, it’s all about style without any influences of marketing tactics or stigmas.

data-driven inventory management

In the world of fast fashion, our consumers face the paradox of choice, the constant desire to keep up with trends, and challenges of adopting a less wasteful lifestyle.

The Impact Stylist looks to bring solutions to solve people’s problems. We use data at the centre of our inventory management - understanding our customers’ demands and scaling our inventory with confidence. We are able to avoid overstocking, produce less waste, and maintain high customer satisfaction.

Ending violence against women and children

Women and children are amongst the most vulnerable groups of the world. They face higher risks of being exposed to family violence (domestic violence, child abuse, and pet abuse), which has been heightened during the COVID-19 pandemic as victims may find themselves trapped in the home with a violent perpetrator.

We support organisations that strive to protect women and children against violence and ensure they have access to a safer living environment.

Ending homelessness in Australia

Every night more than 116,000 people in Australia are homeless, often hidden from view, as a result of many complex factors:

- 45% lack of housing

- 26% escaping family violence

- 12% money/income issues

- 8% relationship/family breakdowns

The consequences of homelessness can be detrimental to a person’s physical and mental health, social status, and often accompanied with significant economic costs to the community.
