EVENT: Sustainable Fashion & Beauty: BS or Breakthrough?
Has the word ‘sustainability’ lost all meaning for you?! Join us for a one-of-a-kind event demystifying the overused term, while spotlighting the most incredible innovations on the horizon…
There’s a great deal of doom and gloom – as well as greenwashing – surrounding the topic of sustainability. This talk aims to unpick what ‘sustainability’ really means in today's landscape, and what it might mean in the future.
Taking a bold and optimistic look at this topic, we'll be sharing stories of beauty ingredients you've never noticed on the shelves, and the next-gen textiles made from organic matter like mycelium and banana peel that are poised to hit our catwalks.
We'll also discuss how our sensory desires impact shopping choices - and how biomaterials are addressing that need (after all, why do we all say 'ooh!' when we touch real fur?). Finally, we'll take a peek at the real world impact on people working across these industries.
Covering everything from cutting-edge innovation to ethical production, we invite you join us as we figure out what is BS and what is a real breakthrough in sustainable fashion and beauty.
