This Week on FashionCapital…
Woolmark+ Announce Forward – Thinking Nature Positive Roadmap
And Finally…
News on our Circle8 Old for New – The Fashion Fix project has been gaining lots of attention on LinkedIn. Thanks to funding from Innovate UK FEL is working with top retailers to salvage garments by providing repairs and alterations. This not only extends the life of these garments but also reduces the amount of textile waste that ends up in landfill. Tap here to find out more about the project, or here to read and comment on LinkedIn.
Until next time, have a great week.
From the Team at FashionCapital
