Edition #1 of 202030 – The Berlin Fashion Summit was held digitally on 22–24 January 2021 as a cooperation between studio MM04, Sqetch, and the Beneficial Design Institute to develop a collective approach to defining the conversation on sustainability. By bringing together a range of industry stakeholders, this preliminary digital conference foregrounded the journey to creating future fashion systems. This edition focused on three key themes: Fashion Culture, exploring the relationship between fashion, identity, and society; Fashion Economy, rethinking financial models for a sustainable future; and Fashion Product, advancing materials, processes, and design for a circular economy.
