On Saturday morning we kick off our program with a talk about the case of regenerative wool. Why did we choose to focus on this material this year? What is going on with the amount of Dutch wool dat is being discarded every year? And what did we exactly mean by regenerative fashion, again? Expect a warm welcome by the NOOF team to kick-off Wool: (Re)discovered all together where we will dive into the challenges and opportunities of wool as a locally sourced material in fashion & textiles.
