Designing for Good: Tips from the Pros/Detroit Month of Design

  • ISAIC - Industrial Sewing and Innovation Center 5800 Cass Avenue Detroit, MI, 48202 United States (map)

HEAR FROM LEADING FASHION INDUSTRY EXPERTS ON HOW DESIGNERS CAN MAKE AN IMPACT ON SUSTAINABLITY

Designers provide inspiration, not only visually and functionally, but they also have the power to be leaders in sustainability. From choices in material and shapes to decisions in assembly, designers have the power to influence effects on carbon emissions, waste production, end-of-life processes, chemical usage, and more across a garment’s lifecycle.

During Detroit Month of Design, join us as we bring together industry experts for a discussion on designing with sustainability in mind. The discussion will take place in Carhartt Workshop's new community space, followed by a tour of ISAIC's factory.

ISAIC CEO Jen Guarino will moderate the panel of these leading experts:

  • Dana Davis, Vice President of Sustainability & Business Strategy, Mara Hoffman Inc

  • Colleen Hau, Director of Global Product Innovation, Carhartt

  • Christian Birky, Founder and Managing Partner at Because Capital

Admission is free, but reservations are required as in-person space is limited. Or register to watch virtually! Register here
