A talk on circular business models and an event at IED Madrid to explore the future of fashion.
On 5 and 6 November, IED will take part in the Latin-European Congress on Fashion and Regeneration, an initiative by Universo MOLA that connects professionals and academic communities across both continents to explore the transformation of the fashion industry.
Pilar Prior Hernández, a lecturer on the Master’s Programme in Fashion Business Management at IED Madrid, will deliver the talk “Circular economy as a business driver in fashion: from rhetoric to profitable models”, examining the opportunities that circularity offers the sector.
The congress will bring together students, designers, producers, researchers and brands to share knowledge and projects focused on textile sustainability and regeneration. It aims to strengthen connections between Latin America and Europe, expand Latin America’s presence in the international debate and create opportunities for education, collaboration and responsible business development.
