The Ecology of Fashion Symposium
Saturday, May 3, 2025
10:00 AM-5:00 PM
In conjunction with the groundbreaking exhibition The Ecology of Fashion (on view through August 31, 2025), the Academy of Natural Sciences and the Robert and Penny Fox Historic Costume Collection of Drexel University proudly present the Ecology of Fashion Symposium – a public learning forum where cutting-edge academic research meets creative innovation.
Join us for an inspiring interdisciplinary exploration of sustainability in fashion, where visionary scholars, scientists, artists, designers and environmental leaders share their insights on the interconnectedness of the natural world with the garments we wear and how materials, production processes and our clothing consumption patterns impact the environment. Through thought-provoking talks, hands-on workshops and dynamic discussions, you'll discover groundbreaking practices and innovative ideas transforming approaches to fashion today.
