Fashion Innovation Center’s (FIC) open pilot introduces learners to the future of the fashion industry through the lens of policy. Currently, the fashion sector is under immense pressure to adopt upcoming EU policies, such as DPP and other sustainability regulations, and many are lacking skills and knowledge on digital possibilities. The last time the industry was regulated in this extent was in 2005 when EU’s importing quotas were abolished, thus enabling current fast fashion practices. FIC is addressing the upcoming changes that the fashion industry is facing with its open pilot consisting of three mini-modules using the CYANOTYPES Framework:
- EU Policy and Policy Tools
- Digital Product Passport
- Future Scenarios of Fashion Manufacturing in Europe
Pilot Lead: Fashion Innovation Center (Sweden)
