The British Fashion Council (BFC) has recently unveiled the complete roster of speakers for its highly anticipated Institute of Positive Fashion (IPF) Forum. This digital event, scheduled for June 10, seeks to champion sustainability, circularity, social justice, diversity, and inclusion within the fashion industry. Priced at £150, the Forum promises to deliver a diverse and influential lineup of industry experts.
Among the star-studded cast of speakers are renowned fashion designer Stella McCartney, Marco Gobbetti from Burberry, Virgil Abloh, Priyanka Chopra Jonas (BFC Ambassador), Emmanuel Gintzburger from Alexander McQueen, Marie-Claire Daveu from Kering, Nicolaj Reffstrup from Ganni, MP Alok Sharma, Cyrill Gutsch from Parley for the Oceans, and TV presenter June Sarpong. These notable figures will provide attendees with practical steps that brands and businesses can adopt to drive positive environmental and social change in the industry.
The IPF Forum is not merely an event but a platform for thought leadership, promoting global collaboration and encouraging local action. Its significance is further heightened as it precedes the 26th UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) scheduled for November in Glasgow. By convening industry leaders and experts, the Forum aims to spark discussions and initiatives that will contribute to a more sustainable and inclusive fashion industry.
A dedicated online hub for the IPF Forum will host the event’s complete schedule and list of speakers. This platform will provide attendees with invaluable resources and information before, during, and after the event. With great confidence, the BFC anticipates that the Forum will act as a catalyst for meaningful change within the fashion industry, ushering in a brighter and more positive future.
