Thursday Night: Pioneers in Fashion: Better and Greener

The dominant system in fashion is wasteful and polluting. Various designers and companies are trying to find more sustainable alternatives. But it isn’t easy.

A wide range of strategies will be examined this evening in a series of presentations: from local textile production and creative recycling, to alternative design methods and new sales and PR forms. The speakers tonight are Annemieke Koster (Enschede Textielstad), and fashion designers Conny Groenewegen, Barbara Langendijk, Martijn van Strien and Anna Telcs (Not Just A Label). After the presentations, the floor will open for a conversation between the speakers and the audience in attempt to arrive at a collective plan of action for better and more sustainable fashion.

What's Next

This Thursday Night is part of the programme What's Next? The Future of the Fashion Industry which consists of a day programme and an evening programme. This event is the evening programme. It is possible to buy a combiticket for both programmes or to join one of the programmes seperately.
