Cross-sectoral approach, based on Living Lab methodology, for intertwining sustainable Fashion with construction, urbanism and design

Challenge: How to enable the local fashion industry to make the ecological transition demanded by the international context and thus increase its competitiveness

Space for honest conversation, transparency and accountability that offers designers the opportunity to share innovative and creative solutions to some of the pressing social and environmental challenges facing the fashion industry today in collaboration with the construction sector, urban regeneration polices and designers in a co-creation process based on a Living Lab methodology.

Resources needed

Reusable materials from heavy industries used by the local fashion industry

Purpose of artistic intervention

The cultural and creative sectors, especially fashion, given their high capacity for invention and alternative use of materials (from collage to recycling), have proven to be of great help for the circular economy and waste reduction. They can ally with construction entities (the Cluster Build.Inn from the Basque Country), municipal proposals based on urban regeneration (Open Gela) and design studios
