The Woolmark Company – a global leader in the wool industry – has joined forces with India’s premier fashion platform FDCI X Lakmé Fashion Week to launch ‘IMPACT HUB’ by RISE Worldwide, a new-age space to showcase innovation in sustainable and circular fashion.
An exclusive space inspired by the art galleries, IMPACT HUB will illustrate problems faced by the fashion industry while also revealing innovative solutions through aesthetically appealing and interactive presentations.
The Woolmark Company says its partnership with FDCI X Lakmé Fashion Week and RISE Worldwide marks a noteworthy milestone for the growing demand for circularity, transparency and ethical practices within India’s fashion community.
It’s worth noting here that The Woolmark Company represents authenticity and commitment between woolgrowers, brands and consumers by innovating within the supply chain of Australian Merino wool, which is 100 per cent natural, renewable and biodegradable. The IMPACT HUB will showcase Merino Wool’s innate circularity property, and innovations in fashion and textile.
IMPACT HUB is said to set to revolutionise the fashion industry across textile innovation, recycling, business innovation, packaging and crafts and with a unique walkthrough of five enterprises rooted strongly within the ideals of sustainability.
These innovators are – Craste; Humanity-Centred Design; Relove; 200 Million Artisans; and Fleather.
