About this Event
♻️ Wasted Fashion: Designing a Future Without Waste | Panel + Showcase + Networking
Wasted Fashion is a student-led initiative. It is a design competition that explores waste-less fashion system.
Not theory. Real materials, real constraints, real decisions.
Join us for an evening that brings together students, designers, and industry voices to question how sustainability is taught and how it shows up in practice.
Location: Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Auditorium, Room N101, Sheila C. Johnson Design Center, 66 Fifth Avenue.
