The Future of Fashion: Merging Style + Sustainable Social Impact

Can fashion be a catalyst for social change?

Are the concepts of sustainability, environmental awareness and conscious decisions supported by an industry known for fluctuating trends and over-consumption? How can our collective decisions about style help to make the world a better place? 

Find out how the fashion industry is tackling these challenges by designing consciously, sourcing sustainably and manufacturing locally. Discover how fashion and social innovation are merging to create value-added practices and transforming relationships between suppliers, retailers and consumers. Understand fashion's role within the sustainability movement and how people in the industry are developing innovative ways to create long-term impact.
