Fashioning Futures - Fashion and Textiles

SH:IFT is the first student conference for the School of Fashion and Textiles, Birmingham City University. Led by students, for students, it provides a platform to present ideas and research. The conference focuses on four key areas; Activate, Rethink, Invent and Cherish. 
The conference aims to create debate around the business of fashion and textiles. The industry is vast and far reaching; it fosters creativity, technical expertise, skill and beauty; yet it is also one of the most polluting global industries, with many negative ecological impacts and often a lack of social equality.
The event will include keynote speakers Johnny Kerkhof and Caryn Franklin, as well as student presentations and posters. Refreshments will be provided. Please note that the early bird offer includes lunch. For catering purposes, the early bird offer can only be booked until Friday 5 April.
Please bring your own cup for refreshments - we are trying to be as sustainable as possible.
