Crafting The Future With Creativity And Innovation At Stockholm Fashion Week
The Swedish fashion community is known for its many tech startups and – companies, where technology, innovation and creativity are a natural part. This is reflected in the upcoming Stockholm Fashion Week’s programme for 31st August – 2nd September, where there will be events celebrating and rewarding groundbreaking ideas and initiatives and sustainability champions of all kinds. We will meet exciting new circular brands that manage to make Re-wear, Reuse and Recycle as cool as clever, and discover endless creative solutions for how to produce and use fashion responsibly - without compromising the love of clothes. It’s about the creators and the craftsmen, materials and shapes, colours, prints and patterns - great sustainable fashion that makes you feel as good as you look. Welcome to Stockholm Fashion Week!
Fashion Future Talks
The three-day programme kicks off with “Fashion Future Talks”, a half day hybrid conference on Leadership, within sustainability, technology and innovation. There will be conversations with international experts, organisations and companies like H&M CEO Helena Helmersson and Actress and WWF Ambassador Maisie Williams, Osklen Artist and Designer Oskar Metsavaht, Global Fashion Agenda’s new CEO Federica Marchionni and Business of Fashion Senior Director Robin Mellery-Pratt. Fashion and Sustainability Expert Simon Collins will open the conference with a TED-style talk on “Sustainability and Technology – The New Fashion” further exploring what the New Normal in fashion might possibly be. And McKinsey’s Anita Balchandani and Achim Berg will present a preview of the next “State of Fashion” report and “The pandemic effects”.
