alternative solutions when producing clothes and are themselves ambassadors of sustainable fashion. In addition the NICE session presented Katharine Hamnet, the english designer and advocate for

THE NICE CONSUMER
Consumers have a significant part to play in the process of transforming the fashion industry towards more sustainable business models. However, at present, they are limited in their influence by
several factors.
Therefore the Nordic Fashion Association and BSR are working together to create a framework for engaging consumers on the sustainable consumption of
fashion.
The NICE Consumer rapport is now available for download.
