Core by JSI is an initiative by creative director Sayesha Sachdev, a graduate from Central Saint Martins where she studied fashion communication. Being raised in the industry made her realise how wasteful and unethical the truth behind fashion really was. It led to the conceptualisation of CORE. What started as a passion project with the aim to change the narrative, soon turned into a business. Sayesha is now involved in every decision and knows all her suppliers and artisans personally. In our conversation with her, she highlighted her vision to make sustainable fashion accessible to more people through creative use of fabrics and designs.
