SUSTAIN Debate Panel Discussion
Talk
What will it take for manufacturers to show model behaviour?
Why is there such a difference between what we say and what we do?
How can we move from ethical martyrs to everyday heroes?
Join us for the SUSTAIN Debate into ethics in fashion with opinions, insights and ideas on the roles of money, regulation and resource scarcity. What has increased globalisation in recent decades meant to the way our clothing brands do business?
Exploring these important and urgent questions are Caroline Lucas MP alongside sustainable fashion brands and advocates pioneering change in the industry: Carry Somers - Founder of Fashion Revolution and Pachacuti, Ben Ramsden - Founder of Pants to Poverty and creator of the 3D P and L, Tamsin Lejeune - CEO of the Ethical Fashion Forum. Purna Sen, Deputy Director of the Institute of Public Affairs at London School of Economics and Labour candidate for Brighton Pavilion will also be joining the debate plus Material Fiction stories by Izzie Roffe-Silvester.
At what point does the cost of looking good become too much?
Decide for yourself at the inaugural SUSTAIN Debate ahead of the SUSTAIN catwalk show of innovative and ethical fashion design.
The Sustain debate is sponsored by Brighton and Hove Fair Trade.
