Quo Vadis—Fair Fashion ? Sustainable Development In The International Fashion And Textiles Sector On The Radar At Neonyt
As the name suggests, Neonyt conference Fashionsustain is all about taking sustainable action: from 6 to 8 July 2021, it will span three days of the digital FFW Studio line-up with strictly sustainable innovation input from the international textile and fashion industry.
Cooperation is not just a buzzword here, but the key to success, with Neonyt partners Common Objective, Häuser der Mode, Hessnatur and Oeko-Tex as welcome collaborators.
We only have another ten years to achieve the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) set out by the United Nations.
And the international fashion and textiles sector has also pledged to become climate-neutral by 2050. Steps like reducing CO2 emissions during production processes, opting for climate-friendly materials and circular business models are pivotal to a future-proof fashion business.
“Where do we stand today and what do we still need to achieve? These are the two most pressing questions currently facing the fashion industry,” says Thimo Schwenzfeier, Show Director of Neonyt. “Sustainable design, digitisation, diversity, transparency in production and retail, values-based management and innovation are setting out a clear path for us to follow. A path that the stakeholders in the international fashion industry can only take together. And the best time to start is now – Fashionsustain will provide helpful industry insights.”
International Neonyt conference Fashionsustain is taking place during the digital Frankfurt Fashion Week preview, FFW Studio, this summer – exclusively online as a live-streamed event.
From 6 to 8 July 2021, fashion professionals from the sustainable and conventional fashion industry will be discussing topics including sustainability, digitisation, innovation, circularity and retail.
The conference will be streamed live via the Frankfurt Fashion Week channels and in the FFW Studio. Further details about registering and the line-up will be announced on the event website shortly.
