Late last week I had the good fortune to participate in a panel discussion about sustainable textiles at the
ITAA annual conference. The
ITAA is the International Textile and Apparel Association. Its membership includes academics, administrators, researchers and other interested parties committed to outreach in textile and fashion eduction and industry.
On the panel I represented
Satsuma Designs and small business using sustainable resources in a commercial application,
O Ecotextiles was there to share incredible date on green textiles for interiors and the
Sustainable Style Foundation (
SSF) was in the house too.
Rebecca Luke from
SSF helped moderate the panel that touched on the entire life cycle of 'green' textiles. I came away really appreciating
SSF's mantra that even a little green step, is a step in the right direction.
As they say at
SSF "look fabulous, live well, do good". More on
SSF to come!
