Kering partners with LCF’s Centre for Sustainable Fashion
Kering has announced a partnership with the London College of Fashion’s Centre for Sustainable Fashion to engage young talent in sustainable fashion. The Centre for Sustainable Fashion (CSF) at London College of Fashion (LCF) and Kering will present on October 29 a five-year partnership to support sustainable practices and innovation in the fashion industry. Engaging with LCF students, but also with designers, teaching staff, researchers and industry experts, the partnership will play a key role as an incubator for new ways of thinking about sustainable fashion. Kering and LCF share the belief that sustainability is instrumental to the fashion industry’s evolution. Both are also committed to nurturing young talents to fuel today’s fast-growing fashion industry. The CSF and Kering partnership will be made up of three main projects: The Kering Talks, where each year in October visionaries and business leaders from the fashion industry will speak on the latest developments in the area of sustainable fashion, sharing new thinking and breakthroughs in best practice; The Kering Award for Sustainable Fashion, on an annual basis, Kering brands and the CSF will launch a student ‘contest’ which will focus on a specific and real-life industry challenges; and the co-development of academic modules for the sustainable design course. The first Kering Talk will take place this week at the London College of Fashion. François-Henri Pinault, Chairman and CEO of Kering, will give this inaugural talk in which he will share his vision on the vital importance of sustainability in building a fashion industry for the future.
