Let’s Talk Green Fashion:
In an era of fast fashion and mass textile waste, how can we reclaim the power of fabric to create a more sustainable future? This panel brings together passionate experts dedicated to reshaping our relationship with textiles through upcycling, mending, consignment, and conscious craftsmanship. From giving old gear new life to rethinking how we consume fashion; this conversation will inspire local and global action.
