| Roundtable discussion: The Other Side: Future of Ethical Fashion Manufacturing. |
I caught replays of a few of the presentations but the one that stuck me the most was a roundtable discussion: The Other Side: Future of Ethical Fashion Manufacturing, hosted by Samiul Alam. Check out the video and pay particular attention to the video at the end. It's the video trailer for Samiul's graduation garment collection, called Blood, Sweat and Tears.
Dramatic. Emotional. Powerful.
