Slow Fashion Generation: Rethinking the Future of Fashion 🌍

Last week, we attended the “Slow Fashion Generation” conference at the Maison Régionale de l’Innovation in Dijon. This thematic event was organized as part of the filming of a documentary produced by Dynamo Production and broadcast by France 3 Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. 😉 Pauline Pelsy-Johann

🎤 Speakers Committed to a More Responsible Fashion Industry
With Maurane NAIT MAZI, founder of CMCM – The Second-Hand Media, and Catherine Dauriac ⏚, the discussions shed light on the challenges of fast fashion and the solutions for a more sustainable model:
🔹 The importance of transparency in the production chain
🔹 The key role of reuse and recycling in reducing environmental impact
🔹 New consumer trends and the rise of the second-hand market
🔹 Action levers for industries and local authorities

💡 Key Takeaways for Our Industry
This event brought together experts in collection and reuse, regional stakeholders, entrepreneurs, and engaged citizens around one central question: how can we transform the textile industry to make it truly circular?

Given the environmental urgency, these moments of discussion and awareness are essential to rethink current practices and identify concrete solutions. One thing is certain: innovation and collaboration across the textile industry will be the key to a more responsible fashion future.

There were some debates and insightful remarks, all united by a shared ambition to drive change.

We’ll remember key statements like:
🗨️ “70% of a garment’s environmental impact comes from production.”
🗨️ “Only 0.3% of textiles are currently part of a circular system.”

In the textile industry, second-hand, recycling, and business models raise many discussions. However, we remain convinced of the environmental benefits of innovative recycling methods.

🌿 What actions do you think should be prioritized to accelerate this industry transition?

Finally, coming back to Dijon also made us reflect on our incubation years at DECA-BFC
