EVENT ROUNDUP: CFS+ 2020

Leading voices in fashion and sustainability came together (virtually) at this year’s online event, CFS+ to discuss the big issues facing our industry and planet, and more importantly, inspire leaders to act now. The conversations had and solutions presented here will inform our next steps as an industry and, ultimately, define our success. Below, we highlight what you need to know and how the content can live on to inspire and inform your future.

THEMES:

This year’s core theme, Redesigning Value, echoed across the two days, with live sessions and digital content focused around topics including: circularity, waste, biodiversity, collaboration and transparency.

We explore and unpack the key themes and what we took away from them here, or clicking the icons below.

This explainer tells the story of circularity while introducing the concept of the reverse care label and what it means for the apparel industry.

We partnered with Ahluwalia, a pioneering fashion brand renowned for a design-led approach to sustainability, to demonstrate how a tech-enabled label on a garment can enable circularity. Watch the trailer to find out more, and make sure to explore all designer challenges in the Design Studio.

" I think creativity and ingenuity are invariably linked to progression in technology. Technology has been vital to changing the fashion industry. Whether that is through material sciences or pattern cutting programmes, these advancements improve efficiency and reduce waste. None would be possible without creativity and ingenuity."

– Priya Ahluwalia, Creative Director, Ahluwalia

Let's Continue the Conversation...

CFS+ might be over but working towards sustainability and circular systems in the fashion industry is ongoing. As our focus shifts back to Zoom calls and our day jobs, we must not lose sight of the urgency of our actions and the opportunities at our fingertips. Avery Dennison is committed to working together with the industry to demystify circularity and technology. Remember, every garment has the potential to be circular. It just has to be connected.
