One of the world’s leading business forums for sustainability in fashion, Copenhagen Fashion Summit will explore the negative impacts of fashion, which have become more visible in recent weeks and months. 

“Through this challenging period, I have had the chance to speak with many industry leaders about the difficulties they are currently facing and what the future will look like post-pandemic,” says Eva Kruse, CEO of Summit organiser Global Fashion Agenda.

“This crisis has forced a quarantine on the world and by extension a quarantine on consumption, raising the question of how this will impact the fashion landscape in the aftermath. Now is the time to think deeply about the constructs surrounding value in our fashion system so we can stimulate positive lasting change for our entire industry and planet.”
