Description

Designer Aurora James will discuss sustainability in design and the future of fashion with host Simone Cipriani. This event is part of the Hand of Fashion, a series of discussions intended to widen the understanding of sustainability in fashion design, enable and encourage sustainable thinking, and help establish a new normal in the fashion industry.

The series is hosted by Simone Cipriani, founder and manager of the Ethical Fashion Initiative (EFI), a flagship program of the International Trade Centre, which is a joint agency of the United Nations and the World Trade Organization. The EFI harnesses the power of fashion as a vehicle out of poverty by connecting artisans in the developing world to fashion's supply chain.
