Hello, New to the online apparel world. What great resources, your site is very informative. Thanks! I don’t see a place to ask this so I hope its ok to post here; I’m trying to gather more info on the sustainability in manufactoring and saw that both wwd.com & 39thandbroadway were reporting that the sustainable luxury conference was cancelled. Do you have anymore info on this? Will you be going/attending/reporting on this or are there others that are domestic conferences I could attend? Thanks again and sorry if this isn’t the spot for questions.

I’d heard of the sustainable luxury conference in India but I didn’t plan to attend in part because it strikes me as an oxymoron; the very antithesis of sustainability so I didn’t waste my time collecting information about it. The other reason, I’ve already left the country three times this year and I’m exhausted. I’m girding my loins for a trip to Colombia in january as it is.
I’m not sure that conferences per se are likely to return the benefit you’d anticipate. Or even tradeshows. The reality is, if you’re looking for information on sustainability in apparel manufacturing, this website is the #1 resource for that, on or offline. Poke around a bit.
