Description
Chaired by facilitator Lynn Wilson, RSA Fellow, circular economy expert and Board Member of Architecture & Design Scotland, this event explores what took place in the VIP delegate only 'Blue Zone' at COP26 for Scottish Fashion, enabling you to see, participate and inform on what happened, and what happens next, for a collaboration called Generation of Waste.
Created between three Scottish Fashion powerhouses; Dr. Antoinette Fionda-Douglas of Beira; Mairi Lowe and Liisa Lehtinen, and the team at Sustainable Fashion Scotland; and Cassandra Belanger and the team at Zero Waste Design Collective Online, Generation of Waste is an incredible installation created in Scotland to show the 25,000 attendees what's happening across global fashion supply chains, and start a new dialogue.
Featuring a fashion film of activities from COP26 produced in partnership with Lateral North, the event will start by telling the story of their unique and high impact COP26 exhibition and sculpture, supported by RATTI | Luxury and Fine Fabrics , Heriot-Watt University Zero Waste Scotland; Creative Informatics, AND Digital, and August; and discuss their manifesto for change and next steps.
Launched in February 2020, Sustainable Fashion Scotland (SFS) is a community-led social enterprise with the mission to connect the fashion community in Scotland and accelerate a sustainable fashion transformation - focusing on collective action. They host online events for the community to share knowledge and connect with each other and conduct data-driven research to support the long-term vision and reality of fashion in Scotland. SFS is also the company that connected and enabled the Generation of Waste collaboration.
In keeping with SRD’s Fashion festival aims to support Sustainability and Scottish Fashion, if you are eco-minded and want to know how to be more sustainable in your choices, and what to look out for when it comes to fashion in Scotland, then this is the one for you. SFS aims to support and highlight the innovative creative work going on in Scotland, and so a large part of the film/Q&A is discussing great solutions happening here for you to support.
