On the Union of Concerned Researchers in Fashion

In today’s Fashion Praxis meeting Timo Rissanen presented the Union of Concerned Researchers in Fashion and the development of the agenda with special focus on the challenges of corporate “greenwashing” of fashion. The union’s concerns are shared by the Fashion Praxis Lab, and the discussion circled around how to best push for a visionary as well as critical activist agenda – pushing for more wholesome ways to be with fashion, but also to research on such ways of being – and doing such research in a constructive manner that does not add more waste and pollution (and especially hypocrisy).
