The Future of Fashion

Dressing for the Times

A continuation of the Nordic Talks series featuring discussions on the future of fashion.

Where do our clothes come from and where do they go when we toss them? What is the life cycle of the clothing we buy? In our consumerist society, earth is paying the price for our purchasing decisions, and it’s time we started evaluating its cost.

In this Nordic Talk, explore the global fashion industry’s negative social and environmental impacts and discover the people who are finding the right solutions for the future of a sustainable fashion world.

This Nordic Talk is part of the Circular Fashion Festival, a week-long event presented by the Guelph Tool Library that coincides with Waste Reduction Week in Canada. The Circular Fashion Festival advocates for slow fashion, skill sharing, and the circular economy.
