The Designers of Public School Talk Sustainability With Julie Gilhart
On Monday night Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne of Public School sat down in conversation with Julie Gilhart (former VP/fashion director of Barneys) and Carmen Gama, designer of Eileen Fisher Renew. The talk — which was delivered to a packed house at the RealReal’s Soho location — shed a light on how Public School’s capsule collection with Eileen Fisher came to be. Chow and Osborne also discussed the difficult yet important decision to put sustainability first in their business, and move from wholesale to a direct-to-consumer model.

“As a business model, it’s almost like a lot of steps backwards,” Maxwell said. “But consciously, it feels like we’ve taken giant leaps forward. It’s hard as a business, but great creatively and what we’re doing for the world…it feels great. But it’s definitely not an easy thing… It was a year, a year and a half, two years of conversations of, ‘No, let’s do this next fashion show and maybe after the show we’ll talk about this.’ And then it would be a hard stop. We knew we had to do it now because we’re not gonna change our ways unless we really change our ways right now.”
