 For the very first time, the United Nations will bring the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, also known as The Global Goals to London Fashion Week.

The Goals are a universal route map and call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that every global citizen enjoys peace and prosperity by 2030.

The #TOGETHERBAND tapestry installation will be part of the Positive Fashion Exhibition, to introduce the London Fashion Week audience to the goals.
