Empowering fashion professionals to lead
sustainable change
Through Knowledge, Insight & Action
About enkel
Enkel was founded by Lydia Brearley, a Sustainable Fashion Consultant, LinkedIn Top Voice, and trusted industry guide, shaping the global fashion industry.
Lydia’s career began as an international fashion buyer, developing collections for some of the world’s best-known high street brands. For many years it seemed she was living her dream life - working in London, Brussels, Shanghai and Sweden and travelling the world on buying, sourcing and inspirational shopping trips. However, it was her years living in China, the heart of the world’s largest manufacturing hub, that changed everything. There, she experienced firsthand the scale of fashion’s impact on people and the planet, and realised the part she had to play in her role as a fashion buyer and the endless ‘churn’ of developing products.
That experience was a turning point where she realised she was part of the pollution, and wanted to start taking steps to be part of the solution.
Today, Enkel (“simple” in Swedish), is an independent consultancy that helps brands and businesses navigate the transition to sustainability and circularity with clarity, strategy, and action.
Lydia is also the Founder of Sustainable Fashion School - an online course platform to inspire and educate the next generation of fashion professionals as they navigate the future of fashion.
What We Do
Maybe your brand is just starting out on its sustainability journey.
Maybe you’re ready to take the next step toward circular business models.
Maybe you need sharp insights on policy, materials, or consumer trends.
Or maybe you want to educate your team, or even yourself - on what’s coming next.
That’s where Enkel can help.
We work with leading fashion brands to design and implement sustainable strategies and circular business models.
Through Sustainable Fashion School, we guide the next generation of fashion professionals with practical, future-focused learning.
Each week, over 30,000 professionals follow Lydia’s LinkedIn news updates on the key shifts shaping sustainable fashion, and Enkel also publishes a monthly Enkel Insights Reports to help brands stay ahead of change.
Whether it’s strategy, insights, or education, our mission is to simplify sustainability and give businesses the tools to lead with impact.
This is just the beginning - the face of fashion is changing rapidly, and we’re here to help you be part of it.
