Sourcing Sustainable Fashion
The trend toward organic goods and ethical trade is spreading in the fashion world with a wealth of new initiatives to connect designers to sustainable resources and materials.
Hear from Summer Rayne Oakes, Co-founder/CEO of Source4Style – a B2B marketplace that allows designers – both fashion and interior – to search, compare and purchase more sustainable materials from around the world, and Tone Tobiasson, co-founder of NICE (Nordic Initiative Clean & Ethical), and nicefashion.org – a web tool for consumers, designers, and people involved in the textile business – as well as a forum where professionals can find resources and exchange information.
