There will be no formal outcomes. Representatives of Indigenous Peoples from around the world will share their perspectives on the role, significance and importance of their traditional clothing, designs, symbols and patterns. Fashion companies will share their experiences, initiatives and best practices related to the ethical and fair use of traditional cultural expressions in fashion, and describe their experiences and lessons learned from collaborating with Indigenous communities. | |
