Fashioning the future – shaping solutions together

April, 2024

Brands, investors, innovators and decision-makers gathered to discuss what the actionable steps are to transform the fashion and textile industry into a socially inclusive and planet positive one. And the keyword here is: together. We need to initiate discussions with the right stakeholders to make change happen. We also need a different narrative, as doom and gloom messages don’t work.

Enabling and inclusive and planet positive textile industry

June, 2023

We gathered brands, stakeholders, and decision-makers to show what a radically transformed textile industry can look like in 2063. We also put disruptive innovation in the front row, sharing knowledge, initiating collaborations and taking action for an inclusive and planet positive fashion future.
