Hi ,
The Power to Future Proof Your Business
As the world moves towards a Fashion Circular Economy
Fashion is changing, and the way our clients buy, wear, value and dispose of clothing is changing with it.
Join AICI Australia for our upcoming online education event with Sue Maree, Global Chair of the AICI Sustainability Committee, as she takes us behind the headlines to explore what is really happening across the global fashion industry and, importantly, what it means for us as image professionals.
From the rapid growth of resale and new ways of acquiring clothing, to AI, textile innovation, recycling, changing legislation and the global shift towards a circular fashion economy, this is an opportunity to better understand where the industry is heading and how we can prepare our businesses and services for the future.
What you'll learn
During this one-hour webinar, Sue will explore:
How and why the fashion industry is moving from a linear to a circular economy
The global changes, legislation and regulations reshaping fashion
Why resale, repair, recycling and upcycling are becoming increasingly important
What's changing in fabrics, manufacturing, luxury fashion and beauty
The role of innovation, technology and AI in the future of fashion
What's happening here in Australia, including the work of Seamless Australia
What these changes may mean for image consultants and stylists, and opportunities to evolve our services for the future
Sue will also introduce a new stylist app and directory currently in development, with an opportunity for interested stylists to volunteer as testers and provide feedback directly to the founders and development team.
