The apparel industry has grown to have one of the largest impacts globally on both people and the planet. From pollution, waste, water over-consumption, and human rights violations, our clothing is contributing to massive environmental and social issues. But this doesn’t have to be the story.

Shaping Fashion is a day-long event hosted in Minneapolis St Paul with speakers, workshops, and an ethical marketplace experience ready to give you the opportunity to explore your own sustainable fashion journey. Whether you care about labor rights, human rights, the environment, or are simply interested in learning more, you are a key piece in creating a fair fashion industry.

Join us during Fashion Revolution Week and shape a new story for fashion!
