People should be put before profit - this is one of the conclusions of the public talk that took place in March 2023 in “East Gate Mall - Office Spaces”, organised by MFA in collaboration with Fashion Weekend Skopje. The debate entitled “Small but perfect: the energy of design for people and the environment” explored the state of our current fashion system and invited discussions around circular solutions.
A crucial part of today’s fashion model is planned obsolescence, where a product has a limited lifespan so that consumers have to buy it again. Panellists suggested possible measures such as waste prevention, eco-design and circular mechanisms that can save companies or individuals money while simultaneously reducing overall annual greenhouse gas emissions.In this toolkit, SME’s can learn more about designing with a purpose in mind, and rewatch discussions from the event to meet and get inspired by some of mission-led SBP participants.
