This fashion dialogue will reveal a new design DNA that is made out of more than threads of fabrics and technology. Each speaker will look at fashion in relation to sustainability. With Yophi Ignacia, Sonja Antosalo, Janne Baetsen, Ben Wubs, Susanne Vegter, Saskia van Stein and Marina Toeters.

An unique conversation about the current and future role that fashion plays in individuals' lives, our society and today's economy. The conversation aims to address that fashion exists beyond static garments, design, catwalks, labels, stores and closets. Take part and discuss together with us the values behind the clothes we design, produce, wear and dispose of. Visit for more information The Fashion Dialogue website.
