About this talk
Fashion is more than an industry – it is a cultural powerhouse. It dictates how billions of people express identity, status, and creativity every single day. Yet this immense consumer influence comes at a steep price: intense scrutiny over carbon footprints, resource depletion, and labour ethics in an era of relentless trend cycles. When an industry holds this much sway over consumer behaviour, the decisions of its leaders ripple far beyond the runway. So, how are fashion leaders responding to the challenges and commercial pressures they face? What are they doing to rethink how they create value, without harming people or the planet? And what can other sectors learn from fashion’s journey towards more responsible leadership? We have convened for this event an exceptional panel of leaders in fashion, retail and manufacturing – leaders who are confronting the these tough questions head on, and coming up with innovative approaches to leading change. Bringing together decades of combined expertise, this Kellogg Conversation offers a rare look at what it takes to lead an industry through profound change.
