Decoding Sustainable Fashion

Sustainable fashion is a cutting-edge paradigm within the fashion industry, one that holistically considers the entire lifecycle of clothing—from its inception in design and production to its ultimate consumption and disposal—with a paramount focus on mitigating environmental and social repercussions. The session will discuss circular fashion models, upcycling and recycling practices, ethical sourcing, and the influence of consumer behavior on sustainable fashion's growth. We will also delve into the positive influence sustainable fashion can have on local communities, empowering artisans and promoting fair labor practices. In line with the conference theme of empowering sustainable and resilient communities, this session will delve into the transformative power of sustainable fashion practices on both the local and global scales.
