CONSCIOUS FASHION

What CONSCIOUS FASHION does

CONSCIOUS FASHION is a Paris-based sustainability consulting and training firm founded in 2020 by Claire Deslandes Mortier, operating from the 20e arrondissement under a SASU structure with €5,000 of social capital. The firm serves French apparel, textile, and increasingly adjacent-sector clients across three tiers: START for emerging creators, WIP for SMEs, and CHANGE for larger enterprises, with named clients including Sézane, Grande Épicerie de Paris, Expléo, and Thépenier. Its offering spans three pillars — Conseil (RSE/CSRD advisory), Formation (training, Qualiopi-certified since 2021), and Atelier (workshops including the proprietary Fresque de la Mode format) — and has cumulatively supported 290+ brands and trained 300+ professionals with a stated 85% satisfaction rate.

The operating model combines direct delivery by the founder with an agile network of specialized experts, keeping internal headcount in the 1–10 range while scaling capacity flexibly. Revenue is project-based across advisory mandates and training engagements, with a newer digital training channel launched in September 2023 priced roughly 20–30% below in-person rates to broaden reach. The firm is embedded in the French sustainable-fashion ecosystem as co-founder of the Association Mode et Impacts, a referenced expert bureau of Refashion, recognized by the Fédération du Prêt à Porter Féminin, and a participant in Fashion Green Hub, Paris Good Fashion, and the KER MER textile/biodiversity cluster. International exposure is nascent, anchored by participation in events such as the Future Fabrics Expo in London.
