For the second episode, I went to Copenhagen and met with Else Skjold, who is an Associate Professor of Design and Sustainability at the Design School in Kolding, and who organized an exhibition and presentation of the graduation projects of four design schools in Denmark as part of Copenhagen Fashion Week.
The two pop-up exhibitions “Fashion Tech” and “Young Sustainable Talents” took place at the Geological Museum in Copenhagen, which this summer also hosts the V&A “Fashioned from Nature” exhibition.
The presentations were hosted by Lifestyle & Design Cluster – a network that promotes innovation and sustainable growth in the small and medium-sized housing and clothing companies, as well as in the creative industries.
The event was opened with a discussion panel by the organizers and experts in the fields of fashion, sustainability, and technology, and you will hear an excerpt from this panel, in which Else gives a brief overview of the event.
The panel was followed by a keynote address by one of the leading scholars on fashion sustainability in the U.K., Kate Fletcher, who is a Professor of Sustainability, Design, and Fashion at the University of Arts in London. You will hear her talk, in which she emphasizes the need for an engagement with and a direct experience of nature in order to “ecologize the fashion system” (as she puts it). And both Else and Kate were kind enough to take the time and sit down with me after their presentations to talk more about their work.
