DSFW The Future of Sustainable Fashion: An International Panel on Local Collaboration

On Octo­ber 10^th, 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.

Col­la­bo­ra­ti­on in Action

This event is not just an oppor­tu­nity to learn and be ins­pi­red but also a chan­ce to take con­cre­te steps towar­ds futu­re part­ner­ships. Meet and network with local and inter­na­ti­onal sta­ke­hol­ders, all passi­ona­te abo­ut sus­ta­ina­ble fashi­on, and help sha­pe the futu­re of the industry.

Don’t miss this unique oppor­tu­nity to con­tri­bu­te to the sus­ta­ina­ble fashi­on move­ment and par­ti­ci­pa­te in the dis­cu­ssi­on on how Rot­ter­dam can beco­me a glo­bal leader in sus­ta­ina­ble fashi­on. We war­mly wel­co­me you on Octo­ber 10^th at our Expe­ri­en­ce Cen­ter during the Dut­ch Sus­ta­ina­ble Fashi­on Week. Toget­her, we are buil­ding a bet­ter futu­re for fashi­on and our planet.
