Wear the Change: the Fashion Sustainability Social
After two successful sustainability events on AI x climate and the corporate sustainability agenda of today, we are back to finish the year off strongly with our next event on the sustainability of fashion —
Barcelona is home to one of the most diverse fashion sustainability movements in Europe — from global brands rethinking compliance and material traceability, to independent labels developing regenerative textiles, to educators reshaping how the next generation designs, buys, and understands clothing.
Wear the Change brings together this ecosystem in one room — all working to shift fashion from linear to circular, from trend-led to value-led, from consumption to care.
This is not a conference. It’s a warm, community-focused evening for dialogue.
✨ What’s on the agenda?
Short panel conversation with innovators rethinking fashion systems, featuring Sylvia Calvo from Sylvia Calvo BCN — a pioneer in circular fashion known for transforming discarded coffee cotton bags and other textile waste into high-value materials — who will be one of the evening’s speakers, discussing:
How do global brands and independent labels collaborate rather than compete in sustainability?
What does meaningful circularity look like — beyond marketing language?
How do supply chain transparency, education, and consumer culture shift together?
What new forms of value, identity, and creativity emerge when fashion regenerates instead of extracts?
Fashion styling using 2nd-hand clothes with Melissa Mateus, professional stylist.
Clothing swap — bring pieces you love but no longer wear.
Beer included in your ticket + a warm social atmosphere.
Whether you work in fashion, research, design, sustainability, or simply care about the story behind what you wear — you belong to this conversation.
