SUSSout 03 - Future Of Fashion: Film Screening, Panel Discussion, Mixer

 

The fashion industry is transforming rapidly. Clothes are being produced and consumed at a faster rate than ever before. India is at the cusp of change. Being a powerful manufacturing hub and one of the fastest growing consumers of fashion, the opportunities to lead the future of fashion is in our hands. This also means that we could be facing a higher risk of experiencing the negative impacts of fashion. So, what is the future of clothing in India? Will we switch to wearing clothes made from bio-materials like milk? Will we be able to throw our t-shirt in the backyard and watch it decompose? Will we stop buying clothes all together and share wardrobes like we share cars? Will we go back to our roots of fixing, mending, and recycling more often? Will technological innovation allow us to continue making clothes like we do, but with minimal resources? It’s all possible!

Come explore different facets of this discussion through a brilliant film and a discussion with hustlers that are shaping the future of fashion in India.

• Aman Kaushal and Payal Batra are building a ‘wardrobe on cloud.’ They run Lionise – a clothing rental platform for women. They believe that the sharing economy will shape the future of fashion and call themselves “a small cog in this big movement.”
• Yuktie Jhangiani, inherited her love for travel from her grandparents. She is the founder of sustainable travel wear brand Kosha.  It is the only Indian brand that blends bamboo with Merino Wool to make t-shirts cum thermals. The Kosha advantage however is not just in their materials and affordability but also their life-long repair service and philosophy to discourage excess consumption.
