Talk: Understanding talent development & creative hub infrastructure

A look at the importance of creative infrastructure and talent development in driving the future of sustainable fashion. This day is two-fold: first, a panel on the ecosystem that nurtures young designers (using New Order of Fashion’s lab and the Lottozero Textile Laboratories as key examples), and second, an afternoon dedicated to “talent spotlights” – showcasing emerging designers’ work and perspectives. The main idea is to reflect on why institutions like ours (New Order of Fashion) and our partners exist, what roles they play in a larger network, and how investing in talent and creativity pays off for industry transformation.
