SUMMARY:Conscious Fashion: Weaving a Sustainable Future
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, January 30\, 2025 \n6:00 PM-8:00 PM \nOn Thursday\, January 30\, join us for a Town Square discussion on clothing and where it comes from. \nA cozy sweater to match your jeans\, a new scarf to go with your coat\, a few stylish shirts for the gym and maybe those cute yoga pants — shopping for clothes is fun\, and depending on your tastes\, affordable. But there are bigger costs than the price tag you see at the store. Every item in your closet has gone through many steps in a complex production process\, from harvesting fibers\, dyeing\, and sewing to shipping and sales. And each step for these garments has major environmental consequences. \nWHYY’s Maiken Scott will chat about sustainable fashion with Heidi Barr\, co-founder and CEO of PA Flax Project; Rachel Higgins\, co-founder of PA Fibershed and instructor at Drexel University in the fashion industry and merchandising program; and Kimberly McGlonn\, designer\, CEO of NOOR by Grant Blvd and author. They will talk about their work in the fashion industry and address the challenges we face together in building a local\, more sustainable supply chain. \nRegister for Conscious Fashion: Weaving a Sustainable Future \nThis event is a part of the Academy Town Square Series. Learn more.
