Sustainable Fashion Consumption Symposium
The Symposium
Fashion consumption and production have doubled since the beginning of the 21st century, resulting in significant changes in how we acquire, use, and dispose of our clothing. Recognized as the fourth most environmentally pressing consumption domain after food, transport, and energy use, the consumption of fashion and textiles, as well as the resulting post-consumer textile waste, is becoming increasingly evident, especially in urban contexts.
The 2nd Symposium of the International Research Network on Sustainable Fashion Consumption aims to bring together scholars, practitioners, and students to share ongoing research and practice from the field to contribute to a transition towards more sustainable forms of fashion consumption.
This is a 2-day in-person conference taking place in New Haven, CT, USA. Several sessions will be made open to online participation.
Special optional events include:
Celebratory Dinner - Tuesday, Oct. 28th (learn more and register on the conference website)
CT Sustainable Fashion Tour - Wednesday, Oct. 29th (learn more and register here)
You can learn more and register to attend on the Sustainable Fashion Consumption Network website (note that while the in-person registration is full, the online registration is still available).
