Re: Forma – Meeting and dissemination of Sustainable Fashion

Re:Forma – Circular Fashion Meeting brings together leaders from design, the textile industry and critical thinking to debate, share and co-create an ethical, circular and regenerative future in fashion. Its objective is to connect designers, researchers, students, emerging brands and large retail players, promoting sustainable and responsible practices in the industry.

In this first version, Rio de Janeiro will be the guest state of honor, providing its vision and experience in sustainable fashion from the Global South. Powered by the Hola Rio platform, the independent fashion projects LERIPE and IFWB - MEMBRANA SERPENTE will present their creations and their ethical production methods.

November 14 will be dedicated to sectoral working groups, while November 15 will be open to the general public, creating a space for dialogue and learning for all those interested in circular fashion.

Hello Rio is presented by the Secretariat of Culture and Creative Economy of the Government of the State of Rio de Janeiro and is executive produced by Cinco Elementos. Quitanda Soluções Criativas and Ibero Culturas as institutional partners.
