Fashion Takes Action x WeAr Magazine discussion panel

Fashion Takes Action is a non-profit established in 2007, with a mission to advance sustainability in the fashion industry through education, awareness, research and collaboration. Since 2014, their World Ethical Apparel Roundtable, or WEAR conference and webinar series, has brought together the entire fashion system to learn, network and collaborate. Each month, they address the barriers to sustainability through their WEAR webinar series.

On May 19th, 2021 at 12 PM – 1 PM (EST) WeAr Magazine’s Shamin Vogel will moderate the discussion session around Luxury and Innovation: The benefits of bio-based fur.

The panel will be between DuPont’s Sorona, Ecopel and a brand partner which adopted their new faux fur Koba. Dupont is leading the way to sustainable faux fur production as global innovation leader, who recently created one of the first commercially available faux furs that is made with plant-based materials, known as Sorona®. This innovative new material is pushing the boundaries of fashion, by providing brands and consumers with a product that considers both the environment, and animals. This material can be mechanically recycled which, unlike real or synthetic furs, supports the circular business model. This panel will explore how this innovative new material is pushing the boundaries of fashion, by providing brands and consumers with a product that considers both the environment and animals.
