With the aim to change the minds of visitors by introducing sustainable products and showcasing future fashion innovations, the Experience has been designed to ‘make fashion right’. The interactive technology-driven museum will also help those visiting know the story behind their clothes, so they can take the kind of action that will make an impact on both the industry on an international level.

Fashion for Good, Personalising Your Journey To Sustainable Living

One of the key exhibits in the museum is an Innovation Lounge where guests can discover over 50 amazing innovators who are about to disrupt the fashion industry. This space answers questions like: How is biodegradable glitter made? Can a dress be made from mushroom roots? How can blockchain technology make the garment production process more transparent? During the visit, actions and badges can be collected via an RFID-enabled bracelet, so that visitors are motivated to commit to personal change and positive action in the way they relate to fashion. This will be turned into a personalised digital Good Fashion Action Plan that visitors can take home.
