As a second intervention, and result of the resarch I’ve been doing so far, I am planning an online event (seminar) for emerging designers that will take place next week, on Tuesday (August 23rd) between 5pm and 6pm. The purpose of this event is for emerging designers and young entrepreneurs to meet each other and discuss the joys and pains of setting up a business, plus what opportunities exist out there that some might know about and others might not.
The invitees are:
IBEAM Fashion (Ibeam and Leanne) – focus on sustainability and ethical luxury;
by KK Fashion (Kate) – focus on sustainability and customer experience;
Monozygotic (Daisy) – focus on sustainability and inclusivity;
Exidermis (Ester) – an upcycling project, with unique pieces, focus on individuality and storytelling through clothes.
Aniela Fidler Wieruszewska – a fashion creative who works for the Centre for Sustainable Fashion.
Special guests will be Keri, a fashion journalist and editor who also came to my first intervention (upcycling workshop), and journalist and fashion expert Cecilia Mezzi.
I will update after the intervention, reflecting on outcomes and everything that will be brought up during the discussion.
