Samia Boukbir
/ Institut Français de la ModeA specialist in innovation, both technical and creative, Samia left the corporate world to get closer to her values and give more meaning to her activity. After a first immersion in Vintage fashion (ecological, human and creative), she wanted to develop an even more useful project. She is responsible for the DeFINE platform maintenance.
She founded ReFUNK, a new model of collaborative upcycling: they transform used clothes into real treasures, with the help of young designers from all walks of life. A systemic solution that makes it possible to deal with several ecological and social issues with a radically different, clean and inclusive angle, to produce and transform clothing that is 100% upcycled, 100% remade in France, zero waste, drivers of integration and professional reintegration.
