LAB Talk: Sustainable Fashion Is Having A Moment, But What Does That Mean?
SEPTEMBER 4, 2019
Moderated by Emma Olson (Klar Agency) with Bobbi Barron (Hazel & Rose, Klar Agency), Martha McQuade (MAD) and Cat Polivoda (CAKE Plus Size Resale).
Helping celebrate the month of fashion in Minnesota, LAB Talks is diving deep into the sustainable fashion movement with a panel of perspectives from Minnesota-based businesses who are committed to supporting ethical, sustainable practices and slow fashion in our community.
Bringing her experience and passion to the LAB Talks conversation, Emma Olson, the co-founder and former owner of Hazel & Rose and co-owner of Klar Agency will explore what sustainable fashion means with the curated panel as they explore the nuances across the industry - why does it matter, how will it evolve, rewards and challenges, community building, why it drives us, and what that means for shoppers.
