Fashion's Fit Issue: Representation and Tech
Description:
I will moderate a discussion about how the issue of fit is a complex issue in the fashion industry consisting of innovation, sustainability, inclusive practices, representation and economic advantage. I will bring on 3 industry experts working in fashion, fashion tech, fashion media, and sustainability. This event is intended to help people understand the future of fashion tech, customization, and consumer centricity while addressing the deficit surrounding fit. Currently, there is $64B worth of annual returns due to fit additionally, there are $50B worth of dead inventory that is never sold and the 15M tons of textile waste produced by Americans alone. But the solutions are a lot more complicated than just having better sizing.
