The circle which is embroidered on the sleeves of the Romanian chemise represents the regeneration cyclicity which is part of nature. This symbol with thousands of years has never been so relevant. Created by China more than twenty years ago, the circular economy has in mind the efficiency in the use of resources and to fight climate change. China has now its 19th annual plan for circular economy. The EU's Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP) was a comprehensive body of legislative and non-legislative actions adopted in 2015, which aimed to transition the European economy from a linear to a circular model. The New Cotton Project (a European Union funded project) was envisioned with the potential to create a roadmap which could promote tools and stages for transitioning from linear means of production to sustainable and circular alternatives. The take-make-dispose culture is one of the biggest pitfalls of the textile industry. Defined by the reduction, reuse, recycling and recovery of material waste and the addition of value to them, the concept of circularity relies on the concomitant advancement of technology, aligned with sustainability. We invite you to watch the video on the New Cotton Project at GFC Video Library, in YouTube. In this video Professor Kirsi Niinimaki from Aalto University presents the main activities carried out in the project and results. #gfc2024 #textiles #FashionIndustry #circulareconomy #sustainability #FashionResearch #FashionInnovation #blockchain #digitalfashion #fastfashion #slowfashion #onlineshopping #IT #FashionInfluencers #Algorithms #AI #resale #rent

The Global Fashion Conference 2024 will take place on the 11th and 12th of October, in Bucharest. Considered as the most international conference among all others, it brings together researchers and practitioners who are engaged in innovation for sustainability. Based on the scientific concept of the sectoral innovation system that applies only to industries which have a global reach like energy, or telecommunications, fashion makes part of the life of millions of people in the whole world, providing employment and supporting self-esteem and social integration. Fashion may and should be used for the common good. Innovation with a purpose has been the vision for this project since it started in 2008. By attending the conference, you will be supporting the work of the NGO Harambee for Africa on the education of young women and the 1% for the Planet Foundation in the efforts to prevent wildfires.

How is the Textile and Fashion Industry changing? The shopping season for start-ups has been going for a while, but as regulation progresses with deadlines to be met, the shopping season is here to stay. Inditex bought the United States company Gally which makes cotton in lab from cotton cells and has been making investments of 100 million euros just this year. Shein announced a 200 million investment fund having in mind materials. How is this going to affect companies all over the world? Suppliers as well as retailers and customers? At the Global Fashion Conference, the big picture will be disclosed and discussed. After Florence, Porto, Ghent, Lyon, Warsaw, London, Stockholm, Madrid and some more fashion related cities, it is time for Bucharest, a country which according to Eurostat (2002) is the 15th exporter of textiles in the world. A vibrant city with strong creative industries. By attending the conference, you will be supporting the work of the NGO Harambee for Africa on the education of young women and the 1% for the Planet Foundation in the efforts to prevent wildfires. #gfc2024 #textiles #FashionIndustry #circulareconomy #sustainability #FashionResearch #FashionInnovation #blockchain #digitalfashion #fastfashion #slowfashion #onlineshopping #IT #FashionInfluencers #Algorithms #AI #resale #rent

Textiles and Fashion is a nearly 3 trillion-dollar industry globally. Despite the rise of environmental concerns, we witness the exponential growth of Chinese based companies like Shein and Temu where little information is publicly available about labour and product. According to a news article from BBC on the 6th of June Shein “doubled its profits to more than $2bn (£1.6bn) last year, making more than the Swedish fashion group H&M and the UK’s Primark and Next. Today, it ships to customers in 150 countries across the world.” Why? Get the insight from data and research. Join the debate at the 11th edition of the Global Fashion Conference, on the 11th and 12fth of October.
