Highlights From Copenhagen Fashion Summit 2019
The Crown Princess of Denmark, HRH laid emphasis on the fact that there should be clothing brands which consumers want and can associate with. It should highly attract customers and they should be of a type that customers would love to treasure. Such should be the collaborations and partnerships of the brands.
Anita Dongre, who is one of the most popular fashion designers from India shared some special advice. She said that there should be agencies which should measure companies in terms of their social and environmental practices. This is because companies are just measured with respect to their cash profits only. This is one of the reasons that customers do not feel a sense of belonging and warmth with certain brands or companies.
When it comes to sustainable fashion, the Copenhagen Fashion Summit has some unpleasant realities to share. Fashion looks glamorous but there is a harsh reality behind it. We are talking about factory workers who work in drastic conditions. When this concern was raised, then Nazma Akter, president at Sommilito Garments Sramik Federation, a Bangladeshi trade unionist who was invited by the Copenhagen Fashion Summit said that “It doesn’t matter if the clothes made are cheap or expensive, my workers are paid the same amount.” She said that there are heartbreaking realities to share about the factory workers and so it’s time to give them what they deserve. Her statement was an eye-opener to many brands who were present in the summit.
