Dear friends,
Join us for RED’s first webinar this year titled 'Tearing the Straitjacket: Reimagining Fashion and Beauty in the 21st Century'
In conversation with Dario Casalini (textile entrepreneur and founder of Slow Fiber) and Alessandra Monaco (independent sustainability consultant and advisor), we explore emerging alternatives to the dominant, ecologically destructive industrial model of fast fashion and commodified notions of beauty. How can we bring about cultural shifts by reimagining beauty as a form of art and fashion as a tool for creative expression and liberation?
We will hear from Dario about the Slow Fiber Movement in Italy and its radical approach towards sustainability. Alessandra will share more about her work at the intersection of fashion, sustainability and beauty, which she also explored in a three-part series on REDWeb last year.
Date: Thursday, 23rd January 2025
Time: 6.30 pm IST | 1.00 pm GMT

Please do join us and share widely!
In solidarity,
Pooja
