overview
Celebrated for the first time and during the World Design Capital València 2022 year, FUTURE OF FASHION creates an international «think tank» discussing the transformation of fashion industries and the sustainable impact.
The World Design Capital Future of Fashion event will bring together fashion educators, designers, brands and industry players, working towards a common goal; creating a more sustainable future for the fashion industry. In collaboration with the Sustainable Employability Skills (SFES) project, the ENHANCE Alliance of Universities of Technology and the Center of Innovation of Valencia City, Las Naves, this event will offer a platform for creation, experimentation and knowledge exchange for creating sustainability around 6 designated fashion industry pillars; Raw Materials; Design; Supply Chain; Production; Retail, Consumption and Waste; Emissions and Biodiversity.
Following on from the climate summit COP 26 which took place in Glasgow in November 2021, the fashion industry is taking up the mantel and confronting the challenges head on. Internationally renowned keynote speakers will share their vision of their sustainable fashion stories and journeys; roundtable discussions will enable the exchange of sustainable knowledge and expertise and practical workshops will empower students and citizens to start their own journey towards sustainable fashion knowledge and decisions.
A particular focus will be the employability skills and new educational formats which universities and companies should champion and incorporate to ensure that the young generation are awakened and engaged with global sustainability concepts within their educational programmes and that employment opportunities are there for them to take up.
The Future of Fashion will be the global platform for a meeting of minds, best practice and expertise around sustainability in the fashion industry and will resonate for years to come as the signature event in this area.
To mark this event and to ensure its legacy for the City of Valencia and beyond, industries will sign up to the “Sustainable Employability skills” employers’ pact where they will pledge that sustainable criteria is taken into account and written into job profile descriptions.

LAS NAVES & LA MUTANT
Las Naves, the center of social and urban innovation in the city of Valencia. An entity of the local public sector attached to the Delegation of Innovation and Knowledge Management of the Valencia City Council.
Las Naves promote urban and social innovation by putting people at the center of our actions and we directly or indirectly improve the quality of life of people in the city of Valencia in a way that is not known or is not implemented in practice.
Their projects strengthen the economic and social structures of the territory, working in the knowledge economy from innovation.
In Las Naves is being deployed the Missions València 2030 initiative. A new and pioneering innovation governance model aimed at city missions that improve the lives of citizens. Innovation missions that aspire to achieve a healthier, sustainable, shared and entrepreneurial city.
La Mutant is a project with a vocation for public service and universal accessibility. In a city immersed in full creative growth, full of public, private and civic projects and initiatives with a cultural denominator, the space completes a scenic offer, which, on the one hand, adapts to the creative evolution of the new exhibition languages and that at the same time it serves a diversity of audiences that demand a clear commitment to risk from the administration.
