Verónica López Valenzuela

With a solid background in Public Accounting and a burning passion for sustainable fashion, Verónica López Valenzuela has emerged as a visionary leader in the Mexican textile industry. Her journey of over seven years in the field has been an exciting adventure filled with challenges and transformative learning experiences.

Graduating with honours, Verónica delved into the world of sustainable fashion after completing courses at Polimoda, where she immersed herself in the principles of sustainability and social responsibility. This change of direction led her to found Materia Consumo Sostenible in 2020, the first platform in Mexico dedicated to education and research in sustainable fashion.

Under the wing of Materia Consumo Sostenible, Verónica launched La Materia, a pioneering conference that addresses the complexities of the textile industry in the global south. This event goes beyond the conventional, exploring ecological, social, psychological, and economic aspects of fashion, with a focus on tangible solutions.

To materialise her ideals, in 2022 Verónica led the first pilot project of organic cotton in Mexico, in the state of Chihuahua, as part of her vision to create products that return to the earth harmoniously, respecting the biodiversity that inhabits it.

Verónica López Valenzuela is more than a advocate for sustainable fashion; she is a driving force that is changing the game in Mexico and beyond. Her dedication, vision, and leadership are paving the way for a more conscious and equitable future in the fashion industry.

Materia Consumo Sostenible stands at the forefront of sustainable fashion education, pioneering transformative initiatives not only within the Mexican textile industry but also on a global scale. Established in 2020, Materia Consumo Sostenible has since been instrumental in driving sustainability efforts and fostering collaborative solutions to address the multifaceted challenges faced by the textile production chain.
