In connection with the Swedish fashion week in Stockholm, Axfoundation has for the last few years arranged open seminars on sustainability and fashion.\u00a0The textile and fashion industries face many\u00a0challenges. Both environment and people\u00a0in manufacturing\u00a0countries often pay a high price for our cheap textiles in the form of contaminated water, unusable agricultural land and social wrongs.\u00a0At the same time, a lot of interesting and good things are happening in the textile field:\u00a0new materials, new business models, innovations and consumer trends are driving development in a more sustainable direction.\u00a0During the Fashion Talks we directed the light on both the negative and the positive, with the aim\u00a0to create discussion and inspiration for brands, media and consumers.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
