Colleen Coughlin – The Full Edit
Frustrated with the incredible waste she saw as a Victoria’s Secret designer, Colleen Coughlin quit her job and founded TheFullEdit, a professional closet editing service that helps people organize their space and upcycle their fashion waste. Colleen purges closet items and then recycles materials in the workshops co-organized with Nomad Tribe. She also resells high-quality garments and ships items in reused packaging, making TheFullEdit Miami’s first zero waste company. To date, TFE has eliminated over 4094 lbs of fabric from the waste stream. Colleen brings over 13 years of NYC design experience to her endeavors. Working with fashion and lifestyle brands such as Victoria’s Secret PINK, Cradle2Cradle, Pinatex, Tesla, StartUpFashion, The NBA, Discover, Nylon, and Glamour, she seeks to educate and inspire on the circular economy and build eco-conscious brands. When she’s not helping DebrisFreeOceans to remove marine debris, Colleen is co-organizing FashionRevolutionMiami events that bringing together independent designers and eco minded Miamians to create ways of making fashion less wasteful.
