Speakers at the multi-session event include Asos CEO Nick Beighton, Levi’s Michael Kobori, Forum for the Future’s Charlene Collison, IndustriAll’s Jenny Holdcroft, ACT’s Frank Hoffer and Global Fashion Agenda’s Morten Lehmann.
“We believe the future of fashion is ever-changing, unpredictable but most of all incredibly exciting,” says Beighton. “By working together, we believe we can deliver a systemic shift in the way our industry addresses key ethical trade and sustainability challenges and proactively design a future we all believe in.”
The Future of Fashion: Transformation through Collaboration event is a key element of Asos’ Fashion with Integrity corporate responsibility strategy, which focuses on the impact the company makes on people and the planet.
In recent months, Asos has released its second Modern Slavery Statement and co-hosted a Modern Slavery event at the House of Lords to identify and address shared risks in the apparel sector. The company has also begun piloting a training programme for its designers with the London College of Fashion, as part of its 2020 Circular Fashion Commitments.
