Today we’d like to introduce you to Ani Wells.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I’ve always had a deep appreciation for fashion, but as I learned more about the industry, I became passionate about its potential for positive change. My journey started with a desire to bring greater transparency, responsibility, and creativity to fashion, particularly denim, which has such an iconic and universal appeal.
I founded Simply Suzette as a platform to explore the intersection of style, storytelling, and responsible practices in the denim industry. Initially, it began as a way to educate and inspire conscious choices, both for consumers and brands. Over time, Simply Suzette evolved into a consultancy and storytelling hub, dedicated to supporting brands in adopting meaningful, responsible practices. Through our work, we champion those leading the way in denim, helping to build a world where fashion is a force for good, empowering communities, respecting the planet, and creating timeless style.
Today, I get to collaborate with incredible people and brands, using Simply Suzette as a platform to elevate impactful work and spark important conversations about the future of fashion.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The road has definitely had its challenges, but each has been an important part of the journey. One of the biggest hurdles has been balancing creativity with the practicalities of building a business. It’s one thing to have a vision, but turning that into something sustainable and impactful requires a lot of work, patience, and learning.
Another challenge has been navigating the fine line between promoting responsible practices and avoiding greenwashing, which has become so prevalent in the industry. It’s been crucial to approach each project with authenticity and ensure that the brands I work with share a real commitment to positive change.
There’s also the ever-present challenge of educating and inspiring the industry and consumers alike to adopt more thoughtful practices without feeling overwhelmed by the enormity of the issues. But these challenges have only strengthened my commitment and deepened Simply Suzette’s purpose: to create a space where fashion can be both beautiful and a catalyst for meaningful change.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
At Simply Suzette, I focus on the intersection of storytelling and consultancy within the denim and fashion industry, with a strong emphasis on transparency, responsibility, and positive change. I work closely with brands, guiding them to adopt meaningful, responsible practices that make an impact on both people and the planet.
