The Fashion Business School at London College of Fashion hold regular talks with industry professionals, giving valuable insights into varying aspects of fashion business. Ellie Savage, the Innovation Project Manager from Fashion for Good chairs a roundtable discussion giving insights into the initial stages of the EU Horizon 2020 funded 'New Cotton Project' that aims to contribute to a circular economy in which textiles are reused, recycled or regenerated into new garments. Under the project, a consortium of brands, manufacturers, suppliers, innovators and research institutes aim to prove that circular, sustainable fashion “is not only an ambition, but can be achieved today”. Roundtable members include Traci Kinden, founder of REvolve Waste, Kirsi Niinimäki, Associate Professor in Design and Fashion Research of Aalto University in Finland and Kirsi Terho, Key Account Director of Infinited fiber company. Discussions centre around how there is value in waste fabrics and how the fashion and textile industry can move forward from a linear to a circular model for commercial garment production.
