Textile Institute Sustainability Special Interest Group Event

When: 18 February, 2013, from 7pm talk starts at 7.30pm

Where: Garden Restaurant, Manchester Metropolitan University

Will eco-friendly fashion dress the future? Can fashion be sustainable? Sustainability is a challenge that cannot be ignored today. Sustainable fashion reassesses the material and manufacturing components without renouncing the aesthetic and symbolic.

The Sustainable Special Interest Group of the Textile Institute, together with Manchester  Metropolitan University, Department of Clothing, Design and Technology are delighted to have  Marco Ricchetti, one of the authors of 'The Beautiful and the Good: Reasons for Sustainable Fashion', present his thoughts on sustainable fashion in Italy.

 Marco Richetti is an economist who teaches at the School of Design at the Milan Polytechnic and at the IED-Moda lab, also in Milan. He is also one of the founders of sustainability-lab.net, the social network for sustainable fashion.

Places are limited at the event so registration is important.

Price: £7.50 - non-members, £5.00 - TI members, £2.00 students (MMU Students free of charge) - payable on arrival.
