RAISING AWARENESS AND EDUCATING
the general public: understand the social and environmental issues of textile production and learn to consume responsibly.
TRAIN AND SUPPORT
future fashion professionals: inspire and equip them to embark on ethical and responsible design and production.
CARRY A VISION
and solutions for decision-makers and professionals to change the world of fashion.
Changing our relationship with clothing
Through workshops and testimonials, we want to encourage textile production that respects human rights and living things, revalue the world's crafts by encouraging responsible consumption and forge a link between you and all the players in the clothing industry.
So that overconsumption is no longer fashionable
The reverse side of the garment
This everyday object is as banal as it is universal, as essential as it is superficial. Today, the textile industry is recognized as being socially predatory and environmentally devastating.
The place of alternatives
All over the world, initiatives exist that place respect for human rights and living things at the heart of their approach.
Our collective highlights them by sharpening the critical sense and curiosity of both individuals and manufacturers.
In Ethical Mode
Drawing on the Sustainable Development Goals, we show that it is possible to act at every stage of the clothing's life and contribute to social and environmental justice to promote ethical design and manufacturing; rethink our consumption and our relationship with clothing; and reduce the impact of the end of life of textiles.
Workshops and workshops
Testimonies from responsible fashion stakeholders • Brand creators, workers in different countries around the world, distributors, experts...
Practical and artisanal workshops • Natural dyes, screen printing, dismantling of clothing...
Site visits • Clothing donation collection and sorting centers, recycling centers, ethical fashion boutiques.
Collective intelligence workshops • “From fiber to wardrobe” game.
From fiber to the cabinet
Designed in the form of a survey, this game invites participants to discover the key concepts and criteria for recognizing and choosing ethical and sustainable clothing that respects the environment and workers throughout the textile life cycle: production of the material, manufacturing, marketing and end of life of the product.
Intended for a teenage and/or adult audience, for groups of between 8 and 20 people, lasting 1.5 hours, this collective intelligence workshop can be aimed at both people new to the subject and future textile professionals.
The game is also available in English.
