Online seminar about the #4. point of the Fashion Revolution Manifesto. In order to raise the international awareness of this topic, in addition to the many colourful programmes in Hungary, we are also organising an online international seminar in collaboration with the #GSFW (www.gsfashionweek.com) and with the support of Fashion Revolution.
Why is this issue important?
- The master tailors and the artisans dealing with folk art, special
old folk technologies, and handicrafts are aging out
- the valuation of those working in this segment is not sufficient,
- the new generation, including the majority of young designers
is not very interested in such heritage-saving work
- in the media and in the promotion of even the sustainable fashion, these issues do not receive enough attention
- the proper education and adequate support of the decision makers is missing
We invite professionals and educators to share their experiences and best practices in this area. Our aim is to provide information on activities that can be inherited from generation to generation and are of national value, handmade and artisan’s clothing, accessories, embroideries, lace, special fabrics, etc in order to create better dialogue and collaboration in this segment of the industry to motivate the citizens and the young generation to value this creative work and the resulting products to raise awareness from consumers to decision-makers.
It is very important that professionals from different countries not only share their experiences at this seminar, but also build up an appropriate network for the further collaborations.
Format of presentation: Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation (ppt) - 10-15 minutes. Please send a short abstract (abt. 30 words) with the presentation's title along with a bio (abt. 200 words) and profile photo to info@fashionhungary.com by 15th April 2023.
