Falling under the umbrella, or may we say parasol of sustainable design, this ethos emphasizes the environmental and social impact of how we choose to dress and furthermore, how these choices are inextricably linked to the present and future well-being of our planet and civil society. The current global clothing supply chain touches all aspects of sourcing, producing and manufacturing, often resulting in multi-national corporations which employ methods that drive prices down but fail to reflect the true costs on society. Now eco-conscious players like Eileen Fisher, Stella McCartney, and Patagonia, are disrupting the fashion market to provide sustainable alternatives -- garments with a longer lifespan and a smaller carbon footprint that minimize environmental impact.</font></span><span class=""> </span></font></div><div class="" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span class="" style="font-size: 15px;"><font face="Calibri" class=""><br class=""></font></span></div><div class="" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span class="" style="font-size: 15px;"><font face="Calibri" class="">Please join our panel of experts to explore how we can support the emergence of sustainable fashion as a stronger sub-sector within the industry.</font></span></div></div></div></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><b class=""><font face="Calibri" class="" style="font-size: 15px;"><br class=""></font></b></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><b class=""><font face="Calibri" class="" style="font-size: 15px;">About the Sponsors:</font></b></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span class="" style="font-size: 15px;"><font face="Calibri" class=""><br class=""></font></span></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><font face="Calibri" class="" style="font-size: 15px;"><span class="">The <span class=""><b class="">Sustainability Practice Network</b></span></span><font class=""> (SPN) is a New York based inter-disciplinary community of professionals who seek to learn and share knowledge to advance sustainable development across sectors and disciplines.
