NEWS: 3 Days, 6 Talks: Fashion Council Germany in coorporation with Vogue Business and eBay
Germany bring together the fashion industry for the talk panel seires "METAMORPHOSIS"

The first day was dedicated to design and highlighted sustainable approaches in fashion as well as measures to protect human and labour rights in the supply chain. On the second day, Michele Casucci, CEO of the technology start-up Certilogo, gave insights into the possibilities of the digital product passport, which makes a product's supply chain visible and can serve as a catalyst for change. The overarching trend towards augmented reality and artificial intelligence dominated the day's panels, highlighting the opportunities and challenges of technology for the fashion industry. On the last day, the talks under the guiding theme of community evaluated how CSR communication and storytelling can be used by brands to communicate authentically to end consumers or how the international networking of the global fashion industry is a multiplier for creativity and inclusion.

Scott Lipinski, CEO of FCG, and Kirsty Keoghan, Global General Manager Fashion at eBay, gave an outlook on the possibilities of a sustainable fashion industry in their closing note.

In addition to Ann Claes, who acts as Content Director, the panelists included Dilys Williams (Centre for Sustainable Fashion), Dries Vriesacker (ENFNTS TERRIBLES), Herbert Hofmann (Highsnobiety), Janina Lin Otto (Holistic Foundation), Kerstin Weng (VOGUE Germany), Kirsty McGregor (Vogue Business), Liz Ricketts (The Or Foundation), Maliha Shoaib (Vogue Business), Harald Sipple (Reserve Retail), Marjorie Hernandez (LUKSO) and Nina Knaudt (Rianna + Nina).
