The fashion industry is navigating one of its most transformative periods in decades. From shifting definitions of sustainability to the disruptive rise of artificial intelligence, the rules that once guided fashion’s relationship with people and the planet are rapidly evolving.

This conversation brings together industry veterans and innovators who are directly shaping the intersection of fashion, sustainability, and technology. Together, they will explore how sustainability priorities have changed since the pandemic, examine where AI is delivering meaningful environmental progress—and where its influence remains more experimental than revolutionary—and share candid insights from inside the systems and supply chains driving today’s fashion transformation.

This event is hosted by Reframe Partners, a strategic innovation consultancy working at the intersection of fashion, beauty and sustainability. Conversations will be moderated by Tiffany Pek, Parsons faculty member, and Devon Rufo, fellow co-founder of Reframe Partners. We invite students, alumni, faculty, and industry professionals to gain an insider’s perspective on the evolving landscape of fashion sustainability and to imagine what the future may hold.
