The Global Fashion Agenda, based out of Copenhagen since 2009 has been a strategic forum designed to bring together innovators and advocates for sustainable fashion as a normative practice.
According to the report in Boston, the Global Fashion Agenda (GFA), a non-profit organization, created a platform for textile and technology companies to display their latest engineering in garment construction, waste processing, management, regeneration, and data analysis.
Companies included textile companies Cane Denim, Infinite Fiber Company, circular companies Recurate, Positive Material, InResST, Upcycle Labs, and tech-based companies Inspectorio, Sourcemap, The ID Factory, Waste3Wear, and Worldly, had opportunities to deconstruct and simplify the complex ecosystem of sustainable fashion.
The GFA hosted for the first time in North America, introducing the theme ‘Ambition to Action.’ Panel discussions and fireside chats explored critical topics such as policy, finance, appropriation, and retail, bringing together key players from the fashion and interlinked industries to address pressing sustainability challenges and collaborate on sustainable solutions.
Even brands such as SHEIN had representatives in attendance to gather an understanding of the landscape of sustainability.
