Fashion Forward Breakfast – Fashion Fails
Wednesday 16 January – 08.00 – 09.30 hrs | free admission
More and more brands are going in a green direction. But making an honest fashion brand into a big success is not that easy. What if you’re just too progressive, or if the sustainable material falls apart before the customer has even worn it? During Fashion Forward Breakfast Christiaan Maats – founder of OAT Shoes, and Sivan Breemhaar – founder of Afriek, tell about the hard, educational and sometimes hilarious lessons they learned as green entrepreneurs.
Fashion Lunch Sessions:
Wednesday, January 16 12:00 – 13:30 | free admission
Choose from three interesting lunch sessions about the changes and challenges in the fashion industry.
- From fast to fair; about the journey of a garment, from factory to your closet.
- #Lesswaste; about how we give our discarded textiles a second life.
- Branding for Change; about campaigns that get the fashion world moving. What are the do’s and dont’s?
