Camille Tagle brings her deep history in the world of design and fashion to her work as Co-Founder of FABSCRAP. She spent her early career as an eveningwear designer for renowned New York City design houses, with creations that sold in major retailers and graced the red carpet. It was through her work as a designer that Tagle witnessed just how much fabric, especially reusable yardage, went to landfill after each collection. Moved by the issue and concerned about the environmental impact, she created her own reuse system to get these fabrics into the hands of those who could use them. Tagle co-founded FABSCRAP in 2017, adding new and creative outlets for fabric redistribution alongside FABSCRAP’s textile recycling service, solidifying FABSCRAP as an acclaimed materials resource, and engaging the community in reuse. Today, FABSCRAP is a defining force in fashion and textile recycling. In setting the standard for what’s possible, FABSCRAP has reshaped the conversation around innovation, textile waste, and mobilizing community, proving that collective action is what will transform the future of fashion. Tagle leads the small but mighty FABSCRAP team that has diverted over 2 million pounds of textiles from landfill for reuse or recycling. Tagle continues to prioritize deeper connections with industry partners, believing that everyone has a role to play, and that education and collaboration are key to putting fashion circularity and sustainability within reach at all levels.
