FashionSustain Thinkathon Juli 2018

The FASHIONSUSTAINBERLIN THINKATHON entered its second round on 2 and 3 July, 2018.

A two-day conclave, two days of thought marathon. The THINKATHON has run for the second time in parallel with the FASHIONSUSTAINBERLIN conference – pioneering thinkers from various sectors came together to unite their knowledge and expertise and to master the textile and fashion industry’s challenges in a design-thinking approach. The focus was on three subjects: sustainability, innovation and technological progress.

The demand from industry has been so great that this time three challenges could be launched: KPMG & Microsoft HoloLens presented a challenge on the subject of “mixed reality”. Hugo Boss entitled its challenge “Circular economy in the premium fashion segment”, and Techtextil and Texprocess asked the participants: “How can we empower all parties along the textile value chain by embracing the industry's move towards sustainability, recyclability and/or circularity?”
