In this session we navigate the ecology of fashion in a series of talks and exercises that inform and demonstrate practical green solutions.

This Session covers the journey from design to manufacture and all the different streams of how that can and does happen from small, sustainable fashion to large-scale fast fashion. In this session we cover the following in a series of fun, interactive workshops that inform and demonstrate practical solutions.

• Understanding the supply chain of fashion from sketch to boutique.
