15-Years of Activating Impact

The 2024 Summit marked a significant milestone for GFA, as it signified 15 years since the inaugural Global Fashion Summit was hosted in 2009. The forum had evolved into an unmissable date in the fashion calendar for those wishing to stay ahead on sustainability priorities, gain tangible updates on policy developments, explore new innovations, and reflect on sociocultural influences in the ever-changing fashion landscape.

The Summit’s extensive programme was structured around unlocking solutions to fashion’s biggest sustainability barriers, no matter where on the sustainability journey your organisation was. With a continued commitment to innovation and accelerated action, our global sector’s most credible visionaries took to our historic stage and spoke to the transformative shifts required to take fashion’s sustainability impact to the next level.

Recognising that everyone was operating from a different baseline, Global Fashion Summit content was tailored to suit the needs of those across a vast sector spectrum. Intersectional solutions and diverse knowledge inputs were needed to reach our vision of a Net Positive industry.

Let that Summit serve as an inflection point as we worked to unlock a flourishing fashion industry which cultivated prosperity for our planet and its communities. By convening fashion’s most creative vanguards, attendees experienced rich dialogues and case studies that leveraged the next level for our industry.
