Reclaiming Creativity For a Regenerative Fashion Future
Channel: Geraldine Wharry & the Trend Atelier
Date: 2020-04-07

In this session Futurist, Educator and Designer Geraldine Wharry answers questions about:

- Reclaiming the creative process of designing through sustainable practices
- Regenerative practices such as Circular design thinking
- Re-use and Afterlife of products
- The possibilities of bio technology


“Designers have the power to change minds” said Clive Russell and have a duty to take action on behalf of the future of the planet and our children.


Consuming and designing at its core is being redefined. We have a window of opportunity to design better products, better business models, better habits, better jobs, better lifestyles that are regenerative and at one with the planet. 
This means disrupting the status quo and being willing to UNLEARN in order to RETHINK our systems. 


A new generation of designers sees our situation as so desperate and their role as intricately tied into the environmental and social impact of their output. Financial rewards are now seen as second priority. 
How will this new cradle to cradle model of creation bring new breath into the fashion industry? How will you be a part of the change and change the dominating status quo?
