THE BULLETIN
Product Life Extension Conference
March 22, 2012 by renee
Centre for Sustainable Fashion’s Kate Fletcher will be speaking at the Product Life Extension Conference about Clothing, Durability and Design.
For two decades fashion and textiles has been ‘borrowing’ design for sustainability ideas developed in product design and transposing them onto garment and clothing systems. Now ideas are flowing the other way. The Product Life Extension two-day conference looks at knowledge transfer around durability and obsolescence between clothing and electronic products.
The conference is funded by the Norwegian Research Council and SIFO, and will be held on27th and 28th of March 2012. You can download a programme here.
