Australian Circular Fashion

The number one must have in business today is sustainability. THE MOTIVATION TO ESTABLISH Australia’s only annual circular fashion conference came from the mounting body of research pointing to the negative environmental impacts caused by the fashion industry. The evolution of the conference has moved from advocacy and awareness towards consumer change management. The context of 2018 needed to ground the industry in the severity and scale of fashion un-sustainability in its current form. By 2019, sustainability was top-of-mind for many, which was reflected in the conference structure. The ACFC's aims were to foster connections between industries, showing the benefits of working collaboratively. Now, the theme ‘The Future of Industry is Now’ outlines how to keep the fashion industry viable in a volatile world of consumer demand and climate action.
