Unraveling Fashion: Building a Resilient Circular Fashion Culture

Join us and learn about the principles of a circular economy and its importance in addressing the environmental and social challenges of the fashion industry. By combining global context with local examples and solutions, this presentation aims to engage the audience in a clear, accessible, and actionable discussion on how the circular economy can transform the fashion industry for the better. The goal is to inspire action, education, and community engagement in creating a more sustainable fashion culture in Montreal.
