IMPACT at Premiere Classe: an initiative dedicated to uniting the sustainable fashion industry

IMPACT is an initiative dedicated to uniting the sustainable fashion industry, opened to everyone and professionals. The current edition is taking place at Premiere Classe from February 28 to March 2, 2020.

Does the rise in second hand clothing mean the end of creation? Can slow fashion keep up with trends? Is responsible production just a consumers’ fantasy? Innovation is everywhere – but at what cost? IMPACT brings together manufacturers, brands, young designers, retailers and consumers, in order to answer these questions through 4 areas of commitment:

1. Slow is Beautiful
Encourages controlled and responsible production, distribution and consumption. Slow is less, but better.

2. Made By
Values responsible, transparent production and the know-how of the entire production chain; from raw materials to fabrics to the final product.

3. The Future is Now
Brings together Green Tech and fashion to drive this change with innovation.

4. Old is the New Black:
Promotes second hand clothing, recycling and upcycling.
