Wardrobe Crisis: Fast Fashion and The Race to Sustainability
Can the global fashion industry adopt sustainable practices at a meaningful rate in the wake of our current climate crisis?
Sustainability is a big buzzword in the business of fashion right now. But what does that really mean for a $2.4 trillion global industry that is often deemed to be one of the most wasteful and polluting on the planet? Interviewing a group of Australian change-makers, Wardrobe Crisis author and Australian Vogue Sustainability Editor-at-Large, Clare Press, leads a dynamic panel discussion on circularity, innovation and responsibility in the fashion industry. Bringing together experts in the fields of water stewardship and ethical clothing, the discussion will explore current challenges facing the fashion industry as it shifts towards greater sustainable practice across the entire supply chain.
Panel guests include Michael Spencer, Chair & CEO of the Alliance for Water Stewardship (Asia‐Pacific region); Courtney Saunders, co-founder of values-driven e-store, Well Made Clothes; John Condilis, Director of ethical jeans chain, Nobody Denim; and Courtney Holm, Director of sustainable fashion label, A.BCH.
