Brussels Annual Sustainable Fashion Forum

28/06/2023 - From 19h00
Registration mandatory

The Nine is proud to host the Second Annual Sustainable Fashion Forum in partnership with DEPLOY.

This year's theme is Women Leading Sustainability: A roadmap for accelerating personal impact & professional change

One year after the EU Strategy for Textiles, how has the industry adapted and crucially how can we as consumers make direct action and change?

A uniquely impact-led fashion event, the forum starts with an expert panel discussion before an exclusive fashion show in the clubhouse & garden. Members and guests will also have the opportunity to purchase DEPLOY pieces in the pop-up shop.

Speakers:

• Dr Hanna Grabenhofer, Associate Partner McKinsey & Co, The State of Fashion
• Dr. Bernice Pan, Founder & Creative Director @ DEPLOY, International Lecturer

Moderator:

• Elizabeth Kuiper, Associate Director of the European Policy Centre & DEPLOY Ambassador

The urgent need to accelerate structural change into a more sustainable fashion system is well documented in the EU's Green Deal for the textile-fashion industries, recognising the critical importance for a cross-border, multilateral approach to make a real and collective impact and meet the net-zero target of 2050.

Yet on the current trajectory of a global annual output of 100bn garments, where 60% arrive in landfill or incinerators within a year and a mere 1% of it is recycled, an accumulated amount of 1.7 trillion garments waste would be generated by 2050.
