Australia's Dirtiest T-Shirt: Smashing the Formula of Fast Fashion

Join Kelly Thomas, founder of The Compostable T-Shirt, for an inspiring talk exploring how compostable fashion and circular design can help tackle the growing challenge of textile waste. Drawing on her journey to create a product that was not available in the marketplace, Kelly will share the challenges and opportunities of pushing boundaries within the fashion industry, nurturing local manufacturing, and transforming an innovative idea into a successful product. The session will explore the advantages of circular design and showcase practical solutions that rethink how clothing is made, used and returned to the earth at the end of its life. Educational, inspiring and solution-focused, this talk invites audiences to imagine a future where fashion is designed to leave no waste behind.
