From Ralph Lauren model to activist frontrunner: Kiki offers a unique insider perspective on a sector in transition. In this provocative keynote, she reveals the hidden impact of fast fashion – from overproduction and waste to exploitation – and highlights the frontrunners who choose circular design, craftsmanship, and ethical supply chains.
She breaks down assumptions, shows how marketing fuels overconsumption, and makes it clear how fashion can be a powerful tool for positive change. With insider knowledge and optimism for the future, she invites the audience to rethink fashion: not just as something beautiful, but as something just, innovative, and future-proof.
In this accessible and inspiring session, Kiki demonstrates how the circular economy can fundamentally change our way of thinking about growth, consumption, and success. Drawing from her experience as a consultant and researcher, she clarifies why the linear model of 'take-use-dispose' is outdated and how organizations can transition to systems that regenerate, reuse, and retain value.
With concepts like the Doughnut Economy and the R-Ladder, she showcases tangible examples of companies that are already successfully engaging in circular business practices today. A session full of insights and practical tools.
In this keynote, Kiki takes you through her personal transformation: from model to changemaker. With openness, she shares her experiences behind the scenes of the fashion world, and how daring to take uncomfortable steps – going against the grain – ultimately brought her more meaning, direction, and success.
She invites the audience to reflect on their own values and place within the bigger picture. Where do your beliefs lie? How can you turn those into impact? This session provides energy, insight, and concrete tools to find your voice and take action with more direction.
This compact and energetic session offers everyone, regardless of sector or role, concrete insights and motivation to make an impact towards a livable, just future.
How do you make decisions not only for today but also for the generations after us? In this keynote, Kiki shows how to make the long-term perspective tangible with the principles of Future Design and the Seven Generations Thinking.
She poses the core question: "How do we want our grandchildren to grow up, and what does that require from us today?" She shares concrete ways in which organizations can actively involve young people, through youth councils, intergenerational panels, or innovative governance models.
This lecture is both inspiring and practical, providing leaders with the tools to make their policies future-proof. It's not just about talking about young people, but making decisions with them.
From climbing shoes inspired by geckos to bullet trains based on a kingfisher: the smartest innovations often come from nature. In this keynote, Kiki shows how biomimicry, the translation of natural principles into human solutions, helps us work more creatively, sustainably, and intelligently.
With compelling examples from technology, design, and fashion, and her own expertise as a circularity consultant, she offers the audience a fresh perspective on innovation. Practical, surprising, and innovative.
Kiki also provides concrete tools to apply biomimicry in product development, strategy, or daily life, so that everyone leaves the room inspired and equipped.
