Join Sass Brown, Amanda Cole, David Dietz, Ben Skinner and special guest film maker Andrew Morgan at the Core Club for a conversation on what brands are leading the sustainable movement, how companies are integrating sustainability into their core business models and what activist groups like Fashion Revolution Day are doing to push the industry forward.

"2720 litres d'eau sont nécessaires pour la fabrication d'un T-shirt. C'est aussi le volume d'eau qu'une personne normale boit en 3 ans." Ceci n'est pas un poisson d'avril 🐟🐠

Buy less. Choose well.Make it last
Wise words by Vivienne Westwood.
Did you know that approx 12 million tons of textiles waste is generated each year in North America amounting to 68 lbs of waste per household per year?
That's a lot of clothes that end up in landfills.
What can you do to reduce your impact? Donate what you dont need, do a "clothes swap", stop giving in to fast fashion and buy quality clothes that last longer, go vintage.
