Sustainable Fashion Panel + Pop Up Showroom

Text: Fashion Panel + pop up showroom

Lär dig om hållbart mode och upptäck lokala och hållbara modemärken att stöda.

De nordiska länderna är stora snabbmodeproducenter och konsumenter, men under de senaste åren har rörelser mot en mer hållbar livsstil fått fäste. Hur sätter vi the nordiska länderna i framkanten av kampen mot cirkulärt mode, och hur skapar vi själva en mer hållbar garderob?

Häng med i denna paneldiskussion på temat: Hållbart mode i de nordiska länderna: snabbmodeindustrins negativa påverkan och hur vi motverkar den, med hållbarhetsinfluencer och föreläsare Outi Pyy och Mari Nordén från sy-revolution teamet Fæbrik och Jeppe Meier, medgrundare av slow fashion-märket Forét, panelen modereras av Fashion Revolution Sveriges Fiona Sjöberg. Paneldiskussionen kan även ses genom livestream: https://www.wedonthavetime.org/event/cop26

Efter Sustainable Fashion Panel hålls ett Pop Up Showroom med små, lokala och hållbara modemärken från Finland. Njut av musik, veganska snacks och lokalproducerade drycker, samtidigt som du upptäcker nya och innovativa modemärken.

Evenemangen hör till den nordiska hubben som anordnas av Nordiska ministerrådet som en del av FNs klimatkonferens COP26.

Jeppe Meier (DK) founded the Copenhagen based fashion brand Forét together with his childhood friend Jesper Finderup in 2014. In a world that is constantly moving at the speed of light, we end up missing the finer details in life. Using their eye for detail and design simplicity, they wanted to solve this, and provide slow goods for the journey. They created Forét to inspire the everyday person to slow down, go offline & explore our nature; using high quality fabrics, made from responsible materials. Jeppe Meier has a background in marketing and has previously worked for brands such as Ikea, Coca Cola, Norwegian and Spies Rejser.
