In a recent article on the future of sustainable fashion, BCG  thinks that the altered behaviors people have adopted during the pandemic will be a catalyst for permanent changes as consumer demand increases for purpose-driven brands and sustainable fashion. These positive trends emphasize the potency of sustainability issues at the current moment, with the Ethical Fashion Festival presenting a valuable learning opportunity.

Fashion Mingle CEO Melissa Shea will be one of six panelists to speak on November 6, while popup shops will also give festival-goers the chance to purchase one-of-a-kind ethical goods, many of which are perfectly suited as gifts this holiday season.
