Silicon Valley has spent years trying to “optimize” everything, but fashion doesn’t work like that. In this video, we talk about how the world’s most data-driven industry fails to quantify fashion design, and why footwear designer Salehe Bembury is the sole solution to the problem.

I was lucky enough to interview Salehe as a part of his new book, I Make Shoes, which is out today.
