This year’s challenge is Redesigning Fashion! Fashion needs a serious makeover, and we are challenging students to launch an innovative social venture in the clothing and fashion industry to make it more sustainable. 👗👖👚Today’s fashion industry is the world’s third-largest manufacturing sector, contributing $2.4 trillion to the global economy. Over 150 billion articles of clothing are produced each year. Fashion employs 300 million people across its value chain, a sixth of the world’s workforce. Unfortunately, all this comes at a terrible environmental and social cost.
