Sustainable Business in Fashion and Textiles
We are excited to announce the first in a series of webinars with our fantastic line up of UKFT Rise Ambassadors!
To kick things off, please join us on the 24th March where we will be joined by Sophie Larson and Chris Jarrett from Lårs Labels who will be discussing the importance of being a sustainable business and the ways you can achieve this.
Right now, more than ever, being sustainable and making a change for a positive future is massively important. If you are thinking of launching a fashion or textile brand brand or if you are already trading and would like to find ways of becoming more sustainable, then this is the webinar for you.
Sophie and Chris are the founders and creators of Lars Labels, an ethical, style and design led online E-commerce retail platform. Sophie’s background is in buying with Chris’s in award winning creative direction and design. They were both inspired by sustainable ways of living, authenticity and transparency and how to incorporate this into their personal and professional lives, both Sophie and Chris wanted to challenge the incredible amount of greenwashing and lack of transparency across the industry.
Topics we will cover in the webinar include:
• The current climate and the role fashion has to play in this
• What does being a sustainable business mean
• Ways in which you can become a more sustainable business
• How to educate the consumer on the importance of sustainability within fashion
