Join us for a transformative workshop led by co-lab member and founder of Picnicwear, Dani Des Roches on how to challenge the destructive nature of the linear fashion model and inspire a shift towards a more sustainable and circular fashion industry. Through both mindset shift and viable creative design approaches, you/your team will walk away from this interactive workshop with a tool belt of techniques that can be implemented into the apparel design process today!
