The Science History Institute’s newest exhibit,
BOLD: Color from Test Tube to Textile, explores the 150-year history of the synthetic dyes that color our clothes and make our style stand out. But what does the future look like for sustainable fashion? And how can circular design—durable, reusable, and recyclable fashion—help combat “fast fashion” pollution and transform the relationships between us, our clothes, and our environment?
Join experts from Philadelphia’s leading fashion sustainability initiatives for an engaging panel talk on the future of circular design!
