Kathy Turner is a recent graduate of Fashion Buying and Brand Management at Ravensbourne University, with a passion for sustainability in the fashion industry. During her studies, Turner developed a strong understanding of the fashion industry's complexities and gained valuable insight into the issues the fashion industry and consumers are facing.

For her Final Major Project, she wanted to look at how we can stop the harmful cycle of overconsumption and better support consumers to make decisions that align with their values. Neco: a fusion of the two words that usually don’t go together (new and eco), is a concept brand that enables consumers to support local makers in their community and shop according to their values. It combines a love for craft with a respect for nature and the people who make our clothes. Ultimately, it’s all about harnessing the power of collective action to create a fairer, more responsible fashion industry. Turner is committed to driving positive change in the fashion industry and promoting ethical and environmentally responsible practices.
