In a world of global competition, financial crises, environmental pressures, rampant consumerism and rapid technological advancement, the business of fashion is changing quickly. We must learn to adapt, change the rules and play a better game. We need to take a holistic responsibility, think in creative paths and develop more sustainable business models for the fashion industry of the future. It’s time to bring forward an improved DESIGN INTELLIGENCE with better solutions based on the awareness of important ethical, social and environmental issues.It’s a joint effort. We can all make a difference by sharing design knowledge.
