On October 10th, an inspiring panel discussion is on the agenda during the Dutch Sustainable Fashion Week. A debate shining a spotlight on the future of sustainable fashion and the power of international versus local collaboration. Our main goal is clear: building a solid foundation for future collaborations between local fashion pioneers and international policies.
What to Expect
During this engaging panel discussion, we will take a deep dive into the world of sustainable fashion, connecting local creators with international influences. Discover how the city of Rotterdam has forged two international partnerships and what this means for our local policies.
Insights from Local Research
We will reflect on recent findings from local research efforts that have explored the fashion scene in Rotterdam. Learn more about the ‘Fashion in Rotterdam’ study, uncover why Rotterdam North is considered a vibrant ‘Fashion District,’ and explore the innovative concepts that have emerged from the Zadkine research on the ‘Microfactory.’
International Perspectives
But that’s not all! We will also explore how these local studies relate to the broader international context of sustainable fashion. Discover how Rotterdam positions itself in the global movement towards greater sustainability in the fashion industry and how these insights can lead to new collaborations.
