Designing the Future of Regenerative Fashion: A participatory Futures Thinking workshop for fashion enthusiasts, designers and curious minds.

The fashion industry is undergoing profound transformation. New regulations, emerging technologies and shifting cultural values are reshaping how we design, produce and relate to clothing.

Yet the greatest challenge is not only technological or environmental, It is imaginative.

In this interactive workshop, we'll use Futures Thinking to explore real signals of change, imagine alternative futures and reflect on how we can actively shape more regenerative fashion systems.

Rather than predicting the future, we'll expand what we believe is possible.

You'll leave with:

  • A practical introduction to Futures Thinking

  • New ways to interpret change in the fashion industry

  • Collaborative exercises and meaningful conversations

  • Fresh perspectives—and concrete questions—to take into your own practice

*No previous experience is required. Just curiosity.*

Language: English (facilitation team fully bilingual in English & Spanish)

📅 Date: September 17th, 2026

Doors open: 6:30 PM

Diseñando el Futuro de la Moda Regenerativa: Un workshop participativo de Pensamiento de Futuros para entusiastas de la moda, diseñadores y personas curiosas.

La industria de la moda está atravesando una transformación profunda. Nuevas regulaciones, tecnologías emergentes y cambios culturales están redefiniendo la manera en que diseñamos, producimos y nos relacionamos con la ropa.

Sin embargo, el mayor desafío no es únicamente tecnológico o ambiental, es imaginativo.

En este workshop interactivo utilizaremos herramientas de Pensamiento de Futuros para explorar señales reales de cambio, imaginar futuros alternativos y reflexionar sobre cómo podemos contribuir activamente a construir sistemas de moda más regenerativos.

Más que intentar predecir el futuro, ampliaremos aquello que creemos posible.

¿Qué te llevarás?

  • Una introducción práctica al Pensamiento de Futuros.

  • Nuevas formas de interpretar los cambios en la industria de la moda.

  • Ejercicios colaborativos y conversaciones significativas.

  • Nuevas perspectivas —y preguntas concretas— para incorporar a tu propia práctica.

*No se requiere experiencia previa. Solo curiosidad.*

Idioma: Inglés (el equipo facilitador es completamente bilingüe en inglés y español).
