Beyond Green: Dutch Sustainable Fashion Event

Event tip: this Wednes­day 12 Novem­ber there is an in­ter­na­tion­al sym­po­sium entitlied Be­yond Green, A Fash­ion Odyssey in the World Fash­ion Cen­tre in Am­s­ter­dam.

The aim of the sym­po­sium is to provide in­for­ma­tion to stu­dents and teach­ing staff in high­er ed­u­ca­tion, and to stim­u­late them to de­vel­op a vi­sion of their pro­fes­sion­al re­spon­si­bil­i­ties which goes fur­ther than mere­ly fol­low­ing ‘green’ fash­ion trends. This year’s sym­po­sium is organized with the notion that sus­tain­abil­i­ty in fash­ion and tex­tiles must look to­wards in­no­va­tions and de­vel­op­ments in science and tech­nol­o­gy.

Speakers include trend forecaster Li Edelkoort, Fashion hacker Ot­to von Busch, “Phasion” artistSi­mon Thoro­good, Mass customization inventor prof. Do­minik Walcher and Eco-chick author and Di­rec­tor of the Cen­tre for Fash­ion Science. Prof. Sandy Black.

Next tot the symposium, there will also be an exhibition. Interesting event concept, showing that green fashion is growing out of the trend and into the innovation…For those who attend: have fun!
