Academic Leaders' Round Table sought to convene the most influential decision-makers from across fashion education, industry and non-governmental organizations for an intimate discussion informing the development of sustainability in global fashion.
The aim is to explore visions of a transformed fashion education and business system through a sustainability lens and to look at ways to increase cooperation. The round table provided an opportunity to discover shared imperatives and ambitions, and to identify what education and business need to conclusively make a distinctive, vital contribution to the transformation of the industry.
The outcome of the Academic Leaders Round Table will lay the basis for an academic white paper, a set of recommendations for academia on how to support the green transition of the fashion industry.
The first of its kind, the Academic Leaders Round Table took place 10 May, was delivered in partnership with Centre For Sustainable Fashion and facilitated by its director, Professor Dilys Williams.
