Report “Value and Quality of Polish Fashion”

This year’s report Ecodesign in Polish fashion was born out of the conviction that the Polish fashion industry today stands at a turning point, among other things, by:

  • Strong “islands of competence,” however, lack broad technological scale,
  • Human capital and craftsmanship: high quality workmanship where cadres still exist; at the same time, declining replacement of generations.

Understanding this transformation requires dialogue, cooperation and the courage to think.

The project “Ecodesign. Quality and value of Polish fashion” – we address to those who design, produce, distribute, buy fashion. To those who choose the circular future of fashion.
