HELSINKI, Nov. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The Swedish
Fashion Council recently canceled Stockholm Fashion Week in the
name of sustainability. Stockholm
- the "sustainable fashion capital of the world" – wanted to change
the way the world produces, purchases and consumes clothes. Now the
Swedish Fashion Council will announce their strategy for
influencing the global fashion industry towards more sustainable
practices at the Sustainable Fashion Forum, presented by
the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce in New York on November 21.
"If the industry should have a chance to survive together with
the planet, it must self-disrupt. Sticking your head in the sand
does not make the problem go away, neither does the traditional
Fashion Week format. In order to make the transformation towards
becoming sustainable, the industry needs support, new tools, and
platforms that extend across industries as well as national
borders," said Jennie Rosén, CEO of Swedish Fashion Council,
at the time of the cancellation.
Jennie Rosén is a featured speaker at the Sustainable
Fashion Forum, together with other Swedish as well as American
industry players including the Fashion
Institute of Technology, H&M, Fjällräven, Nudie Jeans, Fashion Innovation Center, Swedish
Fashion District, The Swedish Villa, Gudrun Sjödén, Re:newcell, and
SpinDye. These experts in fashion, fashion tech, and innovation
have a proven positive impact on the industry and are inspiring
sustainable production and consumption habits around the
world.
