Gbor also founded Clothes Swap & Style, a clothing exchange platform that teaches and works with local governments and community groups to reduce fashion and textile waste from going to landfill by swapping. Nina coined the phrase “the fashion treadmill” which is about ending the modern culture of overconsumption that comes from the fashion trend of oversupply. She encourages embracing sustainable personal style instead.
