Gen Alpha and The Sustainable Fashion Revolution

Is circular fashion here to stay? As the stigma of second-hand begins to fade and technological innovation advances the fashion industry, will our youngest generations transform how we consume fashion to create a better future? And what’s the impact of digital fashion?

While ultra-fast fashion hauls dominate social media, and the global fashion industry generates textile waste and toxic chemicals at unfathomable levels, the circular fashion industry is growing at a faster rate than new retail. This emerging trend may be here to stay thanks to climate-aware younger generations and their more eco-conscious choices.

Join this discussion to hear from industry experts and leaders exploring the true environmental cost of fast fashion, and how younger generations will lead a sustainable fashion revolution. 

Hosted by B Lab Australia & Aotearoa's Director of Certification and Programs, Mindy Leow, and celebrating B Corp Month and Climate Action Week.
