SUBSCRIBE🔮 FASHION FUTURIST ⚡️
My name is Amanda Cosco, and I'm the founder of Electric Runway.
In my 10+ years of experience researching and reporting on digital culture, I've interviewed 100 CEOs and founders, traveled to 14 countries, covered top industry events, and appeared on dozens of TV and radio programs. I've also interviewed three self-identified cyborgs and poured a beer with my brainwaves (it's a tough job, but someone has to do it!)
I started Electric Runway in 2015 as a space to share my multimedia work covering how technology is transforming the $2.4 trillion fashion industry around the world. Since then, the brand has pioneered thought leadership in #FashionTech. Some call me a fashion futurist, but you can call me Amanda 👋
Follow Electric Runway on Twitter and Instagram where I'll bring you to the front lines of fashion all over the world—from the front row of New York Fashion Week to rarely seen garment factories in Bangladesh. Tune in to my podcast, where I interview innovators from Sri Lanka to Silicon Valley to find out how they're disrupting apparel, retail, manufacturing, and consumer experiences. I also create YouTube videos to document my adventures and share my experience as a traveling journalist.
On the business-to-business side, I work with the most innovative brands to help them on their runway to success. I would ❤️ to share my experience and global perspective with you.
