How We Got There: Making A Fashion Statement | Online

About this event

With much of the world under pandemic-related restrictions in the past 2 years, the global fashion industry, relying heavily on discretionary consumption, has faced exceptionally challenging conditions.

Despite ongoing headwinds, as 2021 comes to an end, there are clear signs that things are taking a turn for the better as the fashion players begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel and rush to take advantage as world economies enter the recovery phase. With restrictions being eased in major markets around the world, the release of pent-up demand created spikes of so-called “revenge buying,” leading to a growth spurt. Having said that, fashion players still need to brace themselves to prepare for changing consumer preferences and emerging trends that might have altered consumption patterns forever.

From emerging labels to heavyweights in the scene, come hear from some of the biggest names in the fashion industry! We’ll discuss how the industry is performing, challenges of getting recognized and staying relevant, how emerging technologies and trends are styling the industry, and what's next for the fashion scene.

This event series is of course open to all genders — anyone who supports the careers of women in business and tech is welcome to attend.
