Description

Hear from leading fashion industry experts on how designers can make an impact on sustainability. Designers provide inspiration, not only visually and functionally, but they also have the power to be leaders in sustainability. From choices in material and shapes to decisions in assembly, designers have the power to influence effects on carbon emissions, waste production, end-of-life processes, chemical usage, and more across a garment’s lifecycle. During Detroit Month of Design, join ISAIC - Industrial Sewing and Innovation Center - as we bring together industry experts for a discussion on designing with sustainability in mind. The discussion will take place in Carhartt Workshop's new community space, followed by a tour of ISAIC's factory. Watch for details on speakers later this summer.
