Since 2014, Li Edelkoort’s Anti_Fashion Manifesto has reset the rules for the fashion industry, inspiring a new generation of brands and designers who disrupt old production and selling methods. Now in its 5th year, the annual Anti_Fashion Conference will travel from the University of Marseille to Parsons in New York for the first time. Open to students, faculty and paying professionals, the 2-day conference is a meeting place for new ideas and creative solutions, bringing together the most talented and diverse minds in the fields of fashion, textiles, retail and product design. With a particular focus on sustainable ethics and circular practice, the dynamic conference features both local and international speakers and is a vector for innovation, dialogue and inspiration.
