We will host our Dress Responsibly panel discussion at the Artisphere Dome Theater in Arlington, VA, where we'll cover eco and ethical topics faced by the fashion industry at all levels (consumer, worker, manufacturing, etc.) including sustainability, social responsibility, micro-finance, worker's issues, and the international commercial fashion industry.
The forum will feature a screening of the Detroit Lives! documentary "After the Factory". The documentary presents an opportunity to learn from these two diametrically different cultures (Detroit, Michigan and Lodz, Poland) as their entire way of life transitions to something new. Stories from the citizens are inspiring. Ideas from community leaders are thought-provoking. Free-thinking entrepreneurs are putting a new spin on traditional concepts of growth.
