The Future of Sustainable Fashion Talk @ Neushop 9/2/16
Patricia Ermecheo
Last Friday September 2nd we gathered at NEUSHOP Downtown Miami among local students, thinkers, creatives, designers, entrepreneurs, friends and family to engage in conversation with Adnan Razack, professor at Miami International University of Art & Design on the topic of sustainable fashion.
We shared our experience of founding this company focused on up-cycling unwanted textiles; the journey of understanding the amount of discarded garments that make their way to landfills, to then develop textile waste into brand new pieces of clothing such as our socks.
NEUSHOP is continuously hosting events and initiatives where design is understood as a discipline that goes beyond the making of a finished product, and looks at resolving issues related to our quotidian lives comprehensively and responsibly. We decided we should collaborate and get together to talk about The Future Of Sustainable Fashion and learn more about the current impact this industry is having on our environment.
