Manou Messmann

Manou Messmann has a Master's degree in communication and psychology - a combination she uses to produce the latest consumer knowledge. Manou established her company Manou.dk in 2014, from where she brings state of the art consumer know-how to the fashion industry. Manou wants to reduce worldwide clothing waste, which is one of the big environmental problems today. To do that, she helps the fashion industry create a tight fit between what is produced and what is consumed. That is done by understanding the consumers' needs, so that fashion brands can produce relevant clothing that isn´t thrown out the day after it is bought.
