Sorting the Wardrobe – Innovation and Sustainability in Fashion

The conference will focus on important questions, such as: what are the large-scale trends pressuring customary modes of doing fashion into change? What innovative approaches are being proposed and how do they tackle issues of social and environmental sustainability? Do sustainable technological innovations require a different design process? Which skills are needed in order to be able to design sustainably and how is this approach ultimately affecting aesthetics? Finally, how are we to effect change in well-established production lines and close the gap between the innovating drive of small-scale initiatives and the dominant market position of global players?

The INNOVATION series focuses on innovations in research, their potentials and challenges. We understand innovation not only as a result of research, production and application, but also look at the societal consequences of innovation, in exchange with the scientific institutions, firms and public bodies involved.
