Michelle Alleyne stands as one of the most influential and forward-thinking voices shaping the future of responsible fashion. With more than two decades of experience across design, sourcing, manufacturing, and systems innovation, she brings an unmatched combination of practical knowledge, strategic insight, and visionary leadership to advisory boards and councils worldwide.
Michelle’s work is rooted in a deep understanding of the entire value chain. She has mentored socially responsible founders through The New School’s Impact Entrepreneurship Initiative and advised Parsons School of Design through the National Society for Leadership and Success, helping align industry needs with academic innovation. Her teaching roles at Parsons, FIT, LIM College, and programs for The School of The New York Times and Vogue Summer Schools give her a uniquely comprehensive view of the next generation of sustainable fashion leaders.
Her perspective extends into global industry dialogue. As a fashion correspondent for LaPalme Magazine during NYC Climate Week, she elevated conversations at the intersection of climate action and design. Her participation in the Global Fashion Summit in Amsterdam connected her with international leaders working to advance ethical manufacturing, supply chain transparency, and regenerative systems.
Michelle is the creator of SustainableFashionPages.com, a vetted resource connecting brands with ethical suppliers and material innovators. She is also the host of The Ethical Stitch, a respected conversation series that amplifies the thinkers, makers, activists, and innovators driving the sustainability movement forward.
These combined experiences position Michelle as a trusted connector between academia, industry, and policy. Her voice influences how organizations plan, innovate, and measure meaningful impact.
